    Missed a few of these .

    NSNA vs TLD - I may be the only one who makes this choice. Connery, even at 53, is more preferable to me than Dalton and that makes a lot of the difference. I prefer the villain in the 1983 entry to the two in TLD too. Neither Bond girl does anything for me but Carrera adds spark to the rogue film as iconic henchwoman. TLD, much as it's loved here, isn't a film I enjoy all that much these days. As far as Dalton entries go, I much prefer LTK which I find more suited to his style and approach.

    OP vs QoS - no contest for me. Moore on fire, one of the most charismatic villain rosters, great stuntwork, a superb Barry score and all the hallmarks of Glen at his best shade what, to me, remains a poor follow up to CR with too many Bourne'esque cues.

    We should dip this post in bronze!

    For me it's obviously TLD
    second is more difficult. Rogers best but have to go with QOS!

    TLD is simply better than NSNA, but not because one is "official" and the other isnt't.

    QOS beats OP simply because its only (serious!) drawback is the dismal editing, while OP overall is fairy-tale inferior nonsense.

    NSNA over TLD by just a hair.

    OP over QOS by miles.

    Cold War espionage with great atmosphere and stunt work in both cases. Clear winners.

    Is this a joke? Two of my faves over a low tier and unranked?

    TLD over that hate filled, aborted mess of a movie.
    QoS over my beloved OP. Sorry @Benny!

    TLD (by a mile). NSNA is one of those movies that I liked a lot more when it first came out than I do now. I guess it’s “80ish” feel hasn’t aged well for me.

    OP. Despite its’ many flaws, the chemistry between Moore and Maud Adams sells it for me.

    Why is NSNA “hate filled”? Because it was a rival Bond film?

    TLD and OP.

    TLD is a no-brainer

    I like both OP and QOS but QOS just barely edges it out.
