Having stated numerous times over the last few weeks that you think DAF is the best Bond film bar none, any chance of some consistency in your curious opinions Mr DaltonCraig?
Sorry about that, but since rewatching the Connery films, FRWL has fallen beneath DAF, YOLT and TB... Oh and the best Bond film bar none is TMWTGG !! MR 2nd and DAF 3rd :)>-
Amen to that. MR also used to be my number 2, but that spot has been overtaken by the jewel on Connery´s crown, YOLT.
To parahrase Sean in GF 'You're quite mad you know'.
Atleast every opinion is covered on MI6Community !

Pretty difficult to put them in any kind of order of preference? But this is what i eventually went for.
You gotta love those not-trying-to-be-so-serious-all-the-time movies, instead of the trying-to-be-as-serious-and-unbondian-as-possible movies, like CR.
HAHA that's a good one. That jewel must've been glued on time and time again just to secure it on Sir Sean's head. That jewel has so many scratches it wouldn't make a cent on the market. =))
Que ? YOLT is a magnificent film ! Epic soundtrack, cinematography, scenery, location... YOLT is simply a testament of the greatness of the 1960's Bond !!
Actually the sad part is serious melodramatic rubbish like CR that brainwashed people into thinking Bond was meant to be serious... heck, it seems the words in their Fleming books were altered ! The Fleming novels I own are nothing like CR' 06 ! They are much closer to TMWTGG '74 !!
I know. The only Connery films I don't like are GF and DN. YOLT and DAF are masterpieces, TB is awesome and FRWL is very good. So Sir Sean redeems himself.
I agree with both statements DC007 made. The last one is really spot one. Cut out the drama and add a space laser or something and CR would have been good.

Much as I know these two clowns were put on the earth to wind me up, on this occasion I have to confess I'm in agreement - I love a bit of YOLT. Not in the least bit Bondian but a hell of a lot more fun than plodding TB (which ironically enough is a reasonable adaptation of the novel).
Sean wise I would go

Generally prefer the truly Bondian films but YOLT is so epic you cant not enjoy it. Is the Wizard in danger of being turned to the DaltonCraig/007RogerMoore dark side?
If you are a real wizard you would love YOLT, since it´s magic.
And calling me and DC007 clowns, I started laughing. I take that as a compliment, if you don´t mind. No bad blood from my side, you are a fun wizard to discuss with.
From my point of view, this is how the Connery Bonds rank when it comes to being Bondian, with most Bondian at the top.

Close call between TB and GF.
And I have to say that Rog dressed as a clown probably ranks in my top 5 scenes in the series so nowt wrong in being a clown!
It´s not my fault that I was born with excellent taste in movies. I´m surprised that there are so few people here who have a similar taste.
And Wizard, one day you will wake up and realise that YOLT is by far Connery´s highlight in the Bond series and in his whole career.
Seeing as most people like that only learned to walk upright yesterday and today are on a quest for fire I think expecting them to operate a computer so soon after crawling out of the primordial soup is asking a bit much.
You are an evolutionary freak 007RogerMoore to have developed the capacity for speech so quickly.
TheWizardofIce is on fire with the insults tonight - its very funny. Its like reading Ian Hislop on speed.
