    FRWL is the better Bond film imo!

    I have a new appreciation for GF, but FRWL is still even better imo.

    FRWL for sure. Flawless. First Connery-era Bond film I saw, 30 years ago now. A lot of romance in this one - Bond with Sylvia; Gypsy girls; Tanya; the travel by train; title song and credits. Great sniper scenes. Realistic spy gadgetry. Formidable villain ensemble. Two vehicles chases in a row near the climax. Unmatched at #1.

    FRWL, most of the time. But why not both?😊

    Nice to see both films get some love.

    This next would you rather might be a contrast in styles.

    Would you rather watch DN (95%) OR Casino Royale (94%)?

    The first Bond adventure against the first Bond adventure by a new actor. We have Bond at his cinematic beginnings against a Bond being re-booted.

    DN is an example of getting every penny worth of the budget. We have Ken Adam sets that show amazing on screen. We have Bond jet setting to Jamaica. An eclectic soundtrack and some wonderful Caribbean vibes.

    RT states Featuring plenty of the humor, action, and escapist thrills the series would become known for, Dr. No kicks off the Bond franchise in style.

    OR

    CR a new fella taking on the role. Bombastic action is matched by a depth of story telling. We have the first Bond novel finally given proper treatment. A rocking main title song and great title sequence that pays homage to DN.

    RT states Casino Royale disposes of the silliness and gadgetry that plagued recent James Bond outings, and Daniel Craig delivers what fans and critics have been waiting for: a caustic, haunted, intense reinvention of 007.

    So which one is likely to find it's way to your screen?

    Oh, CR for sure!

    DN is very good, but it's the first Bond film, not the best in my opinion. Excellent stuff in there (Bond's introduction is iconic) but you can tell the series is still trying to find its footing. CR is a classic Bond film on the same level as GF, FRWL, GE, TSWLM, SF etc in terms of how it's regarded. It's just one that you can revisit easily and one general audiences often cite as their favourite Bond film (in my experience anyway). DN doesn't quite have that.

    I don't really like DN, so it's CR every time. It's just a much more powerful experience, it still packs a serious punch, both in how visceral and exciting it is and with how affecting it can be. DN is stylish and has period appeal, but I wouldn't say it's on the same level as a film experience.

    FRWL over GF, CR over DN. Love all four, but the choices are clear enough.
