    MR well over QOS.
    SF miles ahead of QOS.

    Impressed at the divergence of views here.

    Rating Solace over Skyfall was easy for me, Skyfall is a terrible movie, almost vile in places. Absolutely horrid. QOS on the other hand is a fast-moving and rather tight little thriller.

    Rating Moonraker over QOS took more thought though. Moon has ample flaws but it is, in my view, the last true Bond film.

    Well, see how different people feel. Don't get me wrong, I've alway been an apologist for QOS when basically everyone was damning it at the time on the IMDb board. I still think it is overall a mid-field entry and not the utter disaster that most people made it out to be initially. But I have always hated, from the beginning up to now, its rotten editing reducing it to a sort of video-game Jason Bourne copy. I find the main chases (car or foot) definitely wasted. That is a major shortcoming and liability of the entire movie. It could be so much better, but then, OHMSS could also be so much better with a competent actor in the main role.

    As for SF, from seeing it the first time at what was more-or-less the public premiere in London, I've loved it and still think it is the greatest Bond film since FRWL (which is my eternal No. 1). It's up there in my 9/10 heaven with only FRWL. GF and CR around. The rest is inferior.

    MR. Although I don’t find QOS to be as bad as many, MR is so “out-there” that on a certain level its more enjoyable. A good Bond movie to pop into the Blu-Ray player when I work from home. I can have John Barry playing in the background and then take a quick peak to see a droll line by Drax or roll my eyes and laugh at the “double taking” pigeon.

    SF. Easily.

    Easy:

    TND, a project not born out of hatred.

    GE, Brosnan's best.

    Difficult, but in the end it has to be Brosnan twice, in his best (GE) and second best film (TND).

    Recently, revisited TND and was really disappointed with it.

    TND, not anywhere near a favorite but I still prefer it to NSNA. It has its moments.

    GE is definitely better than TND though. Brosnan’s best.

    TND - it’s the Moonraker of the Brosnan era - fun, fun, fun. David Arnold also deserves a big well done.

    GE - cracking debut for Brosnan, and the tank sequence never fails to entertain me.

    I have GE at 8/10, TND at 7/10 and NSNA at 6/10...which still beats OP, TMWTGG, AVTAK, DAF and the last two Brosnan films.

    But nevertheless it has to be TND and GE.
