OHMSS beats DAD 32-3
Round 101:
DN vs OHMSS
and
YOLT vs DAF
I support this.
DN over OHMSS
The second pairing is also closer than I would've thought. Both films have risen in my ranks over the years. Whilst DAF is a whole heap of fun with so many quotable lines and wonderful characters, it just falls short of YOLT in some departments.
YOLT is a visual delight, as well as having a wonderful score from John Barry and is overall epic in appearance.
YOLT over DAF
DN = - no John Barry score, + Ken Adam, + Sean Connery
--> DN
YOLT and DAF = + Barry, Adam, Connery, - both are a bit silly, but YOLT has magnificent cinematography. Therefore: YOLT
DAF over YOLT. This was a very difficult choice. I don't really care for either. YOLT is a slog to get through, but the finale is actually pretty good. On the other hand, the end of DAF is terrible, but the rest of the film has some entertaining moments. I'll always choose the film that left me feeling more entertained, so a narrow victory to DAF.
OHMSS beats DN, but only just.
And...
I agree with this 100% so i'll just borrow it:
YOLT
YOLT over DAF

and start crying.
Indeed @Benny! Although Majestys does squeeze in ahead of DN.

Over the years, DAF has slowly crept up my rankings while YOLT has sunk like a volcanic crater. Give me the quirkiness of Diamonds anyday.

& YOLT
YOLT. I’ve said it before – Iconic. While DAF isn’t as bad as its reputation, it loses points with me for the Vegas settings. It just seems un-Bond like to me! Plus the ending is kind of limp.
OHMSS (my no.1)
YOLT (while not one of my favs, compared to DAF it's very competent and enjoyable film)
Damn, can't do another +1(000) for this, @Shardlake would call me redundant. And rightly so. No one likes to be redundant ;) I'll just say...ditto. OHMSS truly is a masterpiece.
Great minds and all that @Univex ;)
YOLT (iconic)

YOLT
YOLT (There's something very enjoyable about YOLT. The music is from another world and I love the exoticism. I like to relax and watch it on a lazy Sunday afternoon while DAF is among my least favourite of the series.)
Diamonds Are Forever over YOLT.
