    I posted them a few times last year, in the ranking thread, haven't watched any this year, so I haven't ranked them yet.


    I would just like to clarify, that DAD isn't in my top 10, and it does have faults, oh it has its faults. When I walked out of the cinema in 2002, I was as horrified as the next fan. But I over time, I have come to asses the film more clearly, and for the most part (almost everything up to Cuba), I don't have a problem with. Not unlike TMWTGG, when broken down into parts, there is a lot to like.

    LTK vs DAD
    DAD vs CR

    :-/

    For me: DAD and LTK are both bottom 3 entries with very few decent moments, but I'll go with LTK since they didn't have the luxury of cgi (truck stunt).

    CR over DAD... why even ask? ;)

    DAD is certainly a blast from start to finish. Great fun, if one is in the right mood for it and not too critical (or not even a little critical) ;). Unfortunately, here it is up against esteemed competition and must lose.

    You do realise that this is from the OTHER Timothy Dalton film, whereas in TLD he does NOT do stupid things like wheelies with Freightliner trucks (or was it Kenworth? Whatever...)

    @j_w_pepper

    It was a joking response to the phrase "I'll take Craig over Dalton any day."

    As for the new voting:

    LTK (You know, the film with the trucks.)

    and

    CR (A film that would have made Fleming proud.)

    LTK gets an easy win for a change.

    CR - it doesn't really require an explanation.

    DAD. In both cases.

    I enjoy that one more than the others.

    Put me down for that as well! In the case of CR it’s very close, but LTK is miles below DAD.

    Bad CGI ice surfing over real parkour?
    Opinions on what constitutes fun can certainly differ. ;)

    Don’t get me wrong, CR is awesome! But Pierce Brosnan is more awesome at everything.

    Fair enough. ;-)

    Let's just agree to really epically disagree. :)

    Alright. :) I will say that Dalton’s tanker-truck escapades are fantastically badass.

    LTK > DAD: not a big fan of both but DAD is just the worst Bond film of all time

    CR > DAD: CR is a film I don't care much about (at least much less than most members here) but DAD is just the worst Bond film of all time.

    YOLT over FYEO but only just.

    MR over NSNA comfortably, but I do really enjoy NSNA.

    For me it is the opposite.

    FYEO over YOLT comfortably, but I do really enjoy YOLT.

    NSNA over MR, but only just.

    MR

    Interestingly, Moore's most down-to-earth and OTT entry win here.

    All four possible combinations in the four first replies.

    Yes, the outcome for this one is difficult to predict.

    I'll go FYEO over YOLT. But only just. Both films have grown on me a lot in recent years. But I really enjoy Moores take on an older Bond in Eyes Only.
    Similarly I do enjoy NSNA, but I'll stick with EON Bond. Connery for me was playing a version of Moore Bind, not Connery Bond. Therefore I'll go with MR over NSNA.
