TND vs TLD (I like them both, but TLD is #1)
TLD (top 3)
TLD
Quite surprising! TSWLM seems to be untouchable! Can't see it myself..always found it over-rated!
Better make that two, as of late...
TLD (Not even a competition here, a film that seems like it's ripping off SWLM with an inferior Bond and godawful villain. Whereas TLD, great intro for Dalton, one of the best PTS of the series and Barry's swansong. Its not perfect but no Bond film is but it was great to have the Fleming back in Bond again with Dalton's portrayal)
TLD: This is absolutely no contest at all. TLD is and will probably be my favourite Bond film. TND is #21 or #22.
TSWLM beats GF 18-15
TLD beats TND 28-5
Round 78:
TSWLM vs NSNA
and
FYEO vs NSNA
FYEO
TSWLM
&
FYEO
FYEO over NSNA
Both easy choices for me.
FYEO vs NSNA
I'm a rather big fan of the rogue production. Connery is in excellent form, Klaus Maria Brandauer is a chilling villain, Irvin Kershner directs with confidence, and the film does many things first which EON has since aped. It gets better for me on every viewing and despite the distinctly 80s feel, the film has many redeeming qualities, not least Barbara Carrera's deliciously deranged henchwoman. Unfortunately in this instance it comes up against two of Moore's best outings. So despite my appreciation for McClory's sole effort, I have to go with the two official entries in this case.

NSNA is an incompetent expression of hatred, barfed up by a sour pitbull whose relentless actions were instrumental in Fleming's self-destructive, life-ending behaviour. His incredibly out-of-proportion sabotaging of EON's films is the cause of many problems that the real Bonds would be faced with for decades.
But nevermind that. NSNA is a dull, poorly made film with a vindictive Sean Connery in the lead role and a score so obnoxious it makes Serra's GoldenEye score sound like it deserves an Oscar. The sound and image quality of the film are so low it feels like the movie was put together in somebody's basement in 1952. The screenplay is ridiculous from start to finish, full of insultingly bad moments.
NSNA is the anti-Bond, the product of one man's obsession with effectively reducing EON's legacy to ashes. I can't believe sensible people would choose this amateur job over two incredibly well-made EON films.
FYEO
Even though I love NSNA, it can't hold a candle to either of the aforementioned films.
My vote goes to Rog & Rog this time.
Sir Rog takes the round easily.
