    GF vs OHMSS - I can imagine this must be a difficult choice for many members, but not for me. I've never been all that impressed with GF personally, and far prefer the Young films when it comes to Connery fare. OHMSS on the other hand is a film that just continues to grow on me with every viewing. I could never have predicted that. A decade ago it wasn't even in my top 10. Now it's top 5 and climbing.

    DN vs TND - I didn't have to even think about this one really.

    The first two are a tough pick. Both Bond classics. But I'll go.

    OHMSS
    &
    DN

    The second pairing was very easy.

    When I was younger I would've picked GF but appreciation for the Australian Bond's only adventure has increased as I've aged so OHMSS gets my vote in the 1st round.

    As enjoyable as TND is, the first Bond film is a true classic so DN gets my vote in the 2nd round.

    It was terribly difficult for me to choose GF. GF, OHMSS FRWL and CR could be my number one on any given day.

    Having to choose one out of two potential number ones gave me a panic attack.

    PTS vs PTS/ both iconic and sexy
    story vs story/ both ridiculously OTT, but executed with style and class
    Bond vs Bond/Connery's overwhelming charisma is too much of a match for GL's very honest and loveable turn, but...
    Bond Girl vs Bond Girl/ always loved Pussy, but, c'mon, Diana Rigg walked right into all of our hearts...

    Back and forth this wrestling match went, and it was like spinning the chamber of a gun with one bullet in it. After I pulled the trigger, I blurted Goldfinger.

    But I was entirely dissatisfied with my answer.

    And if the answer were to go to OHMSS?

    I would also be utterly disappointed.

    This was a no-win for me and I blame @Thunderfinger for being a sadist and for driving me back into the arms of my therapist.

    I’m honestly surprised at all the OHMSS love. It’s good, but not GF good.

    OHMSS, but very close.

    DN, very huge victory.

    I'm surprised that you're surprised!!
    It's generally well regarded here. It's certainly my number 1. Best of the lot, and that hasn't changed.

    If only Sean was in it, no wonder he had regrets about it.

    GF over OHMSS - I just don't find Laz credible as Bond, or else it would be a tie.
    DN over TND, in spite of my local patriotism.

    GF over OHMSS easily.

    DN edges out TND only barely for me as both are in my Top 5.

    OHMSS beats out GF, but (as others have said) it was close. Both are in my top ten. So, nothing wrong with GF, it's just that Majesty's is that good.

    DN gets a fairly comfortable win over TND.

    I’d say that about GF, it’s good but not OHMSS good ;)

    OHMSS is in my eyes just a little bit better than GF, even thought the latter is more iconic,

    DN is just better than TND

    TSWLM edges out TB - both great films.

    TSWLM obliterates DAF.

    +1. Up until my last viewing of TB I would have given it a slight edge over TSWLM. However, I now believe the latter film is better paced over its runtime and more exciting, which gives it a slight edge. Both classics.
