    Watching the Tom Jones Titles now, this film had two of the best title tracks ever

    One of my favorite songs.

    Here's one of the reasons why I prefer TB to YOLT: Connery disguised as a Japanese fisherman looks like an idiot. I don't see how anyone on the crew, especially Connery himself kept from laughing.

    The Aki death is quite well done, though. Connery and Akiko's subtle performances here are genuinely touching.

    Not close for me either. TB wins in every aspect.

    Car chase from TND is up. Love this bit!

    Can t be that many. For me, NSNA is top 20, but TB is top ten.

    The Blofeld Spectre conference scene one of my favourite in the entire series, I like how the British Secret Service scene mirrors it shortly after and how contrasting the sets are, genius

    I do love the rogue NSNA, but there's no question that TB is superior.
    I think I love the overall story, and am fascinated by history behind those films.
    I really need to get that Battle For Bond book.

    Yes, and they both have their organisational cover names.

    I like NSNA it's a mixed bag though I do watch it often, the rights tug of war is fascinating

    The film has great escapist hyper reality

    Yeah it's about time the Naval aspect of Bond was shown if only briefly

    A pity Craig never got to don the suit, unless we get a brief glimpse in B25 which I kind of doubt. At least it was referenced in the obituary in SF I believe.

    I think Craig's Bond would look great in the uniform.

    All they need to do is have Bond get a lift from the Navy to a destination, a few minute scene would do

    I love Connery’s performance in TB; it may even be my favorite of his (and his first 3 are no slouches). His absolute coolest.

    He is very assured and confident

    For its time this was an incredibly ambitious film with the amount of underwater sequences

    TB does not cut any corners with the hijacking of the Warheads, for 1965 there is some incredible technical work and photography on show

    I have a really good time with most of TND, but things go downhill after the motorcycle chase. The pacing is just rough. Still, there is a lot I like about TND. It’s kind of like Brosnan’s TSWLM. And the news stuff is ever so relevant now.

    The fight with Hans is somewhat indifferent. I actually think the fight with Eric Kriegler is a bit weak as well. So by that rationale, Craig should have a wimpy fight scene at the end of his 5th outing.

    I actually like that Bond's little scuffle with Hans is nowhere near the Oddjob or Red Grant scenes.

    It's more like "let's just get through this, blow up the rocket, get the hell out of this volcano and call it a day".
