    Who would have thought that there was still enough blood left in this game to bring OHMSS to the front?

    OHMSS is so resilient. I love it! This game has really become the clash of the titans.

    Boo. CR is a masterpiece for several reasons, most of which being that it has arguably the best story in the 23-film series.

    I love CR. But I love FRWL and OHMSS more.

    All three films are in my top 5 so I'm quids in no matter the result. ;-)

    I see. Peace then, I guess. I know I'm in the vast minority but I've never had FRWL in my Top 10; I think it's a solid, well-done Bond film, but still overrated. Whether you love it or not, you have to admit it does drag a lot in some parts, and the action would have been better if it was more spread out. As for OHMSS, it's either my second or third favorite film just behind CR, because it has true emotional depth (like CR) and lots of good action; I was more engaged in the first half than FRWL too when there wasn't as much action. Just a more gripping story IMO, but that's just me. I could rant all day about why I think CR is the best Bond film.

    I do prefer CR a bit over OHMSS, but I will not be disappointed at all if OHMSS gets 1st. It's only deserved after this amazing comeback; amazing film, really.

    I agree with what @FoxRox has said: even though it is Connery's best and established most of what we love about Bond, FRWL does not live up anymore to the best that cinema gives us. In terms of Bondishness, OHMSS is clearly a mega-highlight, and in the modern era with all its improvements in film and sound, CR sets the gold-standard against which all coming films will be compared to.

    Same here. I could make an argument for any of the remaining films to win. I'm a little surprised by the FRWL bashing.

    Just to make one thing clear:

    FRWL is definitely not dated, and never will be!
