    The Connery films easily beat the Brosnan films for me.

    LALD
    Most beautiful Bond girl versus one of the most beautiful Bond girls... difficult.
    Moore not quite as good as he'll eventually be versus Brosnan very good indeed... difficult.
    Outrageously silly plot versus outrageously silly plot... difficult.

    I guess my gut feeling more than anything else tells me that LALD is where it's at, although having warmed up to the silliness of DAD, I can honestly say that on any other day, this vote might be different.

    CR
    TSWLM is an outstanding Roger Moore Bond flick, and one we owe a great deal of gratitude (it secured the "survival" of the cinematic Bond in a sense) but then the same goes for CR. Point is, TWSLM is fun-fun-fun, just one happy blast of a Bond film, spectacle guaranteed, awesomeness redefined. But CR, while not as "grand" in scope or "unbelievable! will you look at that!" in ambition, has, since '06, been a darling of mine; not merely one of the best Bonds ever but generally speaking one of the very best movies ever made. Every single detail flawlessly and harmoniously fits the whole. Like a complex mathematical equation leading to that one sought-after solution, like all five thousand parameters of a Bond film configured to stunning perfection, CR has spoken to me in ways that have moved me to tears. I simply cannot fathom choosing any Bond film over CR with, perhaps a few exceptions for purely emotional reasons. Unfortunately, TSWLM, while certainly one of the great epics in the series, cannot compete with CR. TSWLM is warm wood, CR is spotless marble--and I prefer the latter.

    LALD over DAD easily.

    CR over TSWLM handily, even though I love both.

    and

    Proud to have been the only vote for DAD. As for this round:

    DAD over LALD

    CR over TSWLM, but painfully close.

    LALD over DAD by an arm's length
    CR over TSWLM by a camel's hair

    LALD, easily.
    CR, only one or two spots apart in my rankings, but a solid decision regardless.

    LALD, but not easily.
    TSWLM easily. A great example of a classic Bond film, and the one I would use to introduce Moore for sure.

    LALD over DAD. LALD wins by a large margin. Though DAD is a lot of fun.
    CR over TSWLM. Much closer, both films reside in my top ten (deservedly) only a few spots apart.

    LALD - One of my favorites vs. my least favorite.

    CR - Painful decision here. Two of the greats imho, but CR is definitely better.

    LALD, despite Pepper and his boorish antics.

    CR, Spy is truly an outstanding Bondian experience, yet CR trumps it quite handily.

    LALD without a pause
    And
    CR, also easy, as I find Spy rather over-rated.

    DAD

    CR    .

    The first time I've voted for two 21st century Bond films over two 20th century ones. A very rare occurrence for me.

    LALD miles over DAD. The worst Bond movie by far remains the worst Bond movie by far against whatever.
    While TSWLM definitely, but not by miles, will have to yield to CR.

    I'll have to take LALD and CR. Both quite easily

    LALD - DAD should be excluded from polling
    CR - I like TSWLM though

    LALD. Despite a fine first hour, DAD winds up being bottom feeder for me. There are days where I’d actually rank CR’67 ahead of it.
    CR. Both movies are in my top ten.
