    Give me the two Bond films where Bond catches the Main Villain cheating at a game, beats him anyways and the Henchman crushes something in his hand afterwards. They both also feature circuses with a female who ends up turning against the Main Villain and Bond is in a race to stop a bomb from going off and succeeds in the final seconds.

    And pussy.

    TND - somehow I do not really warm to the Bollywood and Cold War charme of OP, but TND is a solid entry from Pierce.

    GF - Bond films do not come more iconic than this one: The song, the car, the baddie and the girls (all three of them).

    OP - a harder pick than expected, but I find Octopussy to be pretty measured throughout, while TND's got a lousy section (more or less from the HALO jump to the attack on the stealth boat) that drags the film down somewhat. Yeoh and Brosnan also have zero chemistry, where as Moore and Maud Adams are a perfect fit.

    GF - no contest here.

    Yes @MooreFun -- I think Maud and Moore were the best, most believable coupling of his era.

    Yeoh was exciting to watch in the physical action, but incredibly bland as a love interest. It was... impotent... Left me feeling... flaccid and deflated.

    FRWL (My absolute favourite FRWL - even though FYEO is top ten) and GE (my favourite Pierce GE - against TWINE which is bottom ten)

    I love FYEO, but FRWL is as good as it gets.

    GE gets an easy victory over TWINE.

    FRWL has the first
    And
    Ugh, it's like being asked do you want to be shot in the head or the stomach?
    I'll go with TWINE since the other is so wildly over-rated!!
