    My votes for TWINE are;

    Bond saves the day celebrations

    TWINE is my least liked Bond film, and looking for suitable images proved hard work, as evidenced by my selections. It's a very dark film in environs and settings.

    I really wanted to find some shots worthy of being considered the best, but in comparison with the previous movies, I'm afraid TWINE is just delivering basic craftsmanship. Nothing that would really impress me, so I won't post any candidates.

    Good luck, @MI6HQ !

    As for TWINE, the film that got me into Bond, I like the following, yet unmentioned, ones:

    The title still says ‘voting’, maybe we should change it to ‘nominations’ in order to get more, well, nominations :))

    A fair point! I didn't cop that, thanks @GoldenGun

    @MI6HQ, @Benny, any of the mods....could ye do the honours?

    I'll sift through the film in a minute, see what's left. It's difficult to find and contribute new frames when people post more than their share of 5 images.

    Filthy business

    Thoughts:

    Puppy looks on - the sculpture is perfectly centred
    Pipeline protest - lush greens; shot highlights the unique land formations
    Helicopter exit - great angle, if the logical one. Note the plane in the background.
    Salon Privée - nice colour palette
    Filthy business - great low angle shot showing Bond as the dominant party

    Yours too, mate. They're really good. That shot of the caviar farms on the Caspian was always a favourite. I kind of wanna go there.

    True. I'll say that from here on, anyone who posts more than five will have all of their excess choices discounted. The first five will be included for voting.

    Five test shots for consideration, not even a glimmer.

    Okay so we have our nominations for The World Is Not Enough:

    Deadline for voting is 9pm (GMT) on Wednesday December 21st! After that I'm guessing it's probably best to take a break until after Christmas as everyone will be busy, and then we can finish the Broz era with DAD and then crack into the Craig era.

    #17 please. It's classic Bond
    Resisted the urge not to 4. 3 is also a wonderful shot

    13 and 17 are the same, for all practical purposes. 13 has a bit of additional fireworks, so was probably taken 2 seconds or so later.

    I'll vote for 27.

    Where's the wet t-shirt competition? I know I shouldn't vote for it, but it's definately youth sentiment for me

    That ain't much either way. Proves my impression that TWINE doesn't have anything really great in terms of cinematography, among the rest of the shortcomings.

    Yea— Very bland looking film. Was not motivated to vote as I’m sure is the case with others. Craig era should be stunning.

    #18 I like his self-confidence.
    I like this movie but it is far away from a good Bond film and it definitely disappoints visually. Well...except for the doctor ;)

    Isn't the image of the castle a bit odd? The satellite dishes look way more like cgi than I remember ??

    I’ve always been somewhat of a TWINE defender and I’ll defend it here as well. I quite like how the film looks, sure it’s nothing flashy but it suits the 90’s former USSR locations where it is set and therefore it provides the right atmosphere for me.
