And rightfully so. :-bd
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 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.
