    DN vs LALD - both top ten and both quite similar in many ways, and not just because they are the successful debuts of my two favourite Bond actors. In this case DN wins. It's just too good. LALD receives an honourable mention from me though. Nothing wrong with it, but DN is better.

    FRWL vs LALD - FRWL is my #1 Bond film, so the decision is clear.

    LALD twice. Tough loss for FRWL which is my number 5 at the moment. LALD just has everything and checks each box of what I love (except no Q!)

    The maestros firing on all cylinders, Young; Hunt; Wanstall; Barry; Adam and Connery et al, absolutely destroy all comers.

    LALD is fine, but DN is top 10 and FRWL is top 3 so there you go.

    As much as I love Sir Rog as Bond, and have found a new appreciation for LALD, I cannot give it the vote. The first two movies are just too strong.

    I'm going to buck the trend here and go for LALD over DN. It was a very close call, but I enjoy Sir Rog's debut just a little more than Connery's.

    FRWL is my number 1, so nothing beats it. Tough luck for LALD. It's just a case of a very good film up against a masterpiece.

    TMWTGG (very very close though,that one - tough.They are #19 and #20 in my rankings atm but TMWTGG has more re-watch and fun value for me,even though it's lower by one place.)

    &

    CR     (no-brainer for me.)

    TMWTGG - Roger's best performance as 007

    GF - An instant choice for me

    TMWTGG - what @ClarkDevlin said
    CR - CR is in my top five, GF not even in my Top 10.

    YOLT and CR (2006). That wasn't hard at all.

    YOLT vs TMWTGG - Both are reasonably entertaining and exotic, but I much prefer the quirkiness and eccentricity of Roger's second outing as OO7. He's at the top of his game in this one and that makes a lot of the difference - better than the great Sean, who seems to be coasting lazily. YOLT is iconic and I do enjoy it, but give TMWTGG the win.

    GF vs CR - I watched both recently (CR just yesterday actually) and for me this is an easy choice. One film is iconic and legendary but has never captured my heart sadly, despite numerous attempts by me to find positives. I find it a boring slog these days, saved by a few classic moments & a decent performance from big Sean. Craig's first on the other hand keeps me engaged for the most part, even if I don't rate it as highly as others and find most of it post-ball beater unecessarily cringey and tedious. CR for the win. A needed redemption for EON.

    I had a really good time with YOLT last Bondathon, whilst TMWTGG is increasingly a slog to get through. YOLT

    Perennial Top Tenners but I'm going to have to go with CR.

    TMWTGG over YOLT

    GF over CR. I’ll have to update my rankings because this is an upset.

    TMWTGG over YOLT. Both films have their respective issues, but I was really engrossed with Roger's performance the last time I watched Gun. Having Christopher Lee around didn't hurt either. Conversely, I looked as bored as Sean on my last viewing of YOLT.

    CR over GF. I feel bad to pile on GF like this, as both are top ten films for me. But while GF usually resides in the 9th or 10th spot, CR is just too good at #2. Rough day for Sir Sean. Better luck next time.

    I am with @Birdleson. Connery and the 60s for the win in both cases, although both are very close. YOLT and TMWTGG are both somewhere in the middle, while GF and CR are both top three.

    YOLT over TMWTGG with extreme ease.

    CR edges out GF, but both are absolutely top tier Bond.
