    Not what I'm looking for, and FRWL has the same, but ridiculously close.

    OHMSS title text is in small caps.

    To be technical, it's in title case :)

    That's it.

    I just find it interesting. Apart from the "r" in Dr No, only TND and TWINE have lowercase letters in the title of the movie, because they use the poster logos that have them.

    So that was my boring, technical one. Over to you, QBranch!
    Bless your heart, @ProfJoeButcher! I've never paid much attention to the lettering, except for in FRWL, TB, TMWTGG, QOS (hmm, I guess I have after all), but it is interesting how they change across the films.

    Thanks mate, I saw the words were capitalized, but didn't know the technical term.

    FYEO and CR do not have annoying Bond girls with ridiculous accents, so GE is the odd one out?

    FYEO and GE both have a shadowy character, FYEO its The Dove, GE it's Janus. CR has a shadowy organization so it's OOO

    That's not it guys. This is about something similar Bond does in each film.

    Bond plays cards in all three, but in FYEO it's not against a villain.

    Bond romances a girl on a beach in all three but in FYEO she dies there.

    FYEO - drives a car.
    GE - drives a car.
    CR: totals a car.

    No one has it yet, but it is related to the cars Bond drives.

    Maybe CR as it’s the only one he doesn’t drive a right hand drive car in?

    FYEO is the OOO as Bond is driven by the Bond girl in her own car.
    In GE and CR Bond drives the classic Aston Martin DB5, but it's not the same DB5 as BMT 216 A

    Not it yet, folks.

    No one is driving when this happens.

    All of the cars have a gadget that is used while not driving. CR with the defibrillator, GE has the communication from Moneypenny, and FYEO has the self-destruct function. FYEO is OOO because (thankfully) Bond is not inside the car activating it.

    Not what I'm looking for, but much closer. Gadgets are seen, mentioned or demonstrated in two of the scenes. Bond does something similar in each scene, while he is not in the car.

    He tosses keys in all of them, but only in GE is it to another person. Good one.

    Right action but wrong OOO: CR, as the car isn't his. I'll give it to you though, and I liked your answer better than what I went with.

    FYEO - Bond tosses his keys after his car blows up
    GE - Bond tosses his keys to Jack Wade
    CR - Bond tosses the other guys' car keys

    Well done, @ProfJoeButcher, back to you!

    Cool!

    I'll be a little more straightforward this time:

    Dr No
    You Only Live Twice
    Live and Let Die
    Spectre

    DN, YOLT, and LALD all featured a villain lair located at the island.

    Blofeld's villain lair in SPECTRE was located in a desert, hence, it's the OOO?

    All films feature skulls, except in YOLT you don't see them because they're beneath the piranhas.

    No, but wow, you are super close already. As an additional hint, you can add OHMSS to the list.

    LALD is OOO since Kananga’s underground lair is not destroyed, only his poppy fields.

    That's what I was looking for. It's pretty unusual. The only lair from a climax to survive. On to you, then!

    I replaced TB with FRWL.
    Two possible OOO.

    In all four, he delays a sexual encounter, but in Octopussy, it's a (goofy) trick.

    That’s not it. Villains are involved.

    Bond has a meal with villains in all the films, but in OP, the Bond girl isn't present.
