That was quite a bit higher, on the old % points, than I was expecting. It placed 11 on the list I sent to @GoldenGun, behind DN, TB, QoS, TLD and LTK, just for context.

I find FYEO too be the most vanilla of all the Bonds. Yet it proved to be decidedly not a vanilla score. Good for you FYEO! A good, consistent rating is the key it seems.

On a side note, seeing FYEO rank alongside the Dalton entries makes me think how appropriate that film would've been for Dalton's Bond to debut in.

4th place. I prefer FYEO over TLD (9th place) because of Greece, better suporting cast (Only bibby making it les), a litle bit better humor&drama and more intresting action and plot i like more. I hate Jack Whitaker (And Columbo is way better then Felix) and Krabbe love/hate of chacter is simalar to Kristatos. TLD and FYEO always fight for first/second place of favorite music. Both Bondgirls in FYEO and TLD are great, whyle i prefer Milana. FYEO being first and helps TLD, example be is that both movies include romantic horse scene. Same as i think OHMSS ski chase and Romance helps FYEO & TLD. I think starting with FYEO the maintitles going to be les from FYEO til LTK, whyle FYEO and LTK be the better ones of all of them.

Not a bad showing for this fan fav.
And for reference FYEO’s two previous entries!
2016 – 8. For Your Eyes Only – 79.6% out of 27 films
2014 – 8. For Your Eyes Only - 77.68% out of 26 films
Consistency is key for FYEO it seems.

Can YOLT squeeze into your final top ten I wonder?
Out those three, I would choose YOLT. Or SF. But mainly YOLT.
