    DAF KOs DAD inside of the first one-liner (yesssh, there’s something I'd like to get off your chest (whips off top); ohhh).... and so on... DAF is sooo much cooler than anything in DAD...

    CR, easily

    Diamonds Are For Everyone (See what I did there?)

    and

    CR - Craig's first is much better than his last (as of right now) offering.

    DAD over DAF in a landslide.

    CR over SP. This is an odd position for me in that SP is more the style of Bond film that I like (traditional and formulaic), but its execution was so botched that I can’t give it the edge over the non-traditional yet excellent CR.

    DAF (but for bond standards it's weak, too)
    CR (pure perfection)

    DAD (can't believe I am saying this, but Diamond's is so cheap and tawdry)

    CR, easily. Still by far the best of the Craig outings, and the only one of his that matches up to the classics.

    None of these four are in my Best of Bond pantheon but DAF and CR win this round.
  • bondjamesbondjames You were expecting someone else?

    DAF vs. DAD - the earlier film wins, although I like them both for different reasons. Perhaps controversially, I think they are great sendoffs for their respective actors as well (both are a bit pudgy but in excellent, confident and relaxed form).

    CR vs. SP - it really doesn't require any explanation or justification. One of the most one sided victories I've ever contemplated on this thread.

    DAF........and...................SP
    (so it's not a total wipe out. DAD deserves a wipe out..SP doesn't.

    As much as my appreciation of DAD continues to grow, and even though it has unlimited silly moments and over the top characters, DAF is just too much fun.
    Similarly with CR and SP. SP is a film I still enjoy and can overlook many of the elements that people are annoyed with. However, CR is clearly the better of the two.
    Therefore I'll go.

    OHMSS edges out GF - both in my Top 3!!!

    DN over TND handily.

    GF over OHMSS by a comfortable margin.

    TND over DN by miles.

    Greatness from the first two... back and forth, mental wrestling going on in my pea-sized brain... for every reason OHMSS should take it, GF has equal reasons... I think Connery-cool wins by a toupee- hair.

    GF
