    1) OHMSS Blofeld - Nobody does it better
    2) FRWL Blofeld - Maybe/probably should be first because he's never more menacing than here but I just love what Savalas did with the role so sue me.
    3) YOLT Blofeld - Pleasance's voice isn't menacing enough before we see his face but he makes up for it afterwards.
    4) NSNA Blofeld - Not bad but not great either.
    5) FYEO Blofeld - Was great before he begged Bond to spare his life. How un-Blofeld like.
    6) TB Blofeld - Didn't work for me this time around
    7) DAF Blofeld - Oy vey!

    I may swap round Never Say Never Again and For Your Eyes Only but apart from that I agree with you both as well.

    A tough one for me, because I love DN all the way through. But I'll give it a try:

    5 - The back projection during the car chase.

    4 - "Quarrel, fetch my shoes."

    3 - Taking care of Mr Jones.

    2 - Any time Norman's orchestra screams too loud!

    1 - Any time the Bond Theme is used almost randomly, thereby reducing its effectiveness.
