YOLT
YOLT over SP
and
YOLT SP is at the bottom of my rating so not biggie,
DAF
and
YOLT
Pictures courtesy of the drawing talents of Pat Carbajal.
I do enjoy these next two, but SP is by far my favourite for sentimental reasons. YOLT has lovely cinematography, but SP is the Bond film I re-watch the most.
DAF by a bit.
YOLT by a fair bit.

YOLT over SP
The Brofelding is the one thing I don t like about the characterization in SP. Other than that, I prefer Waltz over Pleasence by far. Of the four Blofelds in this round, he is my least favorite. I like all the others, although none of them is on par with the unseen Blofeld or Savalas.
(I mentioned Lea in my post, but must add that Akiko and Mie are also among my favourite Bond girls. It s just that Madeleine is a more interesting character. In the other match, both girls are rather bland.)
Both easy choices this time.
SP over YOLT by a little. Both are in my bottom 3rd, but I don't loathe SP as much as many here do.
YOLT. By a wide margin.
YOLT
Easy picks this week. I don't mind Spectre but YOLT is one of my all-time favorites.

SP beats YOLT, though YOLT is a classic Bond film and still entertaining.
Nine more matches, which means four or five more rounds. I haven t decided if I should put three matches in the 149th round or just one in round 150 as I have been leaning towards.
Not much IMHO. It's the one that transformed me from a casual fan to a mega-fan.
The most exotically located film. The most hypnotic and hauntingly beautiful Barry Bond score. Tiger Tanaka makes the coolest male ally in the series IMHO. It features the most harrowing death of a Bond villainess when No. 11 ends up in the piranha pool. Blofeld's lair is my favorite Ken Adam set. It has my favorite Bond meets primary villain scene. And to top it off it has the most exciting final battle in the series between Tanaka's ninjas and SPECTRE ninjas. I love it.
Sidenote-without YOLT there is no TSWLM:
I agree:
I love all 3 of the Gilbert directed Bond films. They're not faithful to Fleming but they're fun.
Off Topic Blofeld Ranking:
1. Unseen
2. Savalas
3. Waltz
4. Pleasance
5. Gray
Although I'm extremely due for another watch of DAF so it may change. Also I've never seen NSNA. :S
YOLT and it's not even close.
How can you prefer DAF if you haven t seen NSNA?
For me, as well.
Sorry, correction: Eleven more matches. I had forgotten that I have already picked out the next round. I am going to make round 150 contain three matches. It is a nice, round number to end it on. Five more rounds it is, then. Another month.
