    Casino Royale

    Despite the fact that OHMSS is at my bottom #22 spot, even if it was higher up, I'd still pick CR. Overall, Craig is better than Lazenby, the flow and pacing of the movie is more engaging, the action is better spaced and is more entertaining, and the locations are better.

    Casino Royale for me, bringing it to 3-0.

    I'll go for CR since I just did not like Lazenby. He seemed to lack any charisma.

    This is a tough one. Both are excellent movies. Craig is a better Bond than Lazenby IMO but I'm giving the win to OHMSS because it's just so classical, epic and has everything one comes to expect from a Bond film.

    This hurts so badly as I love both films. I guess OHMSS is my favourite of the two in the end.

    CR - OHMSS: 5 - 2

    On Her Majesty's Secret Service! The better all round film.

    On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Craig's definitely the better actor but OHMSS has that classic, golden-era feel to it plus John Barry's unforgettable score that gives it the edge over CR. Both films are indeed very similar to each other.

    No doubt.
    Why shoud I watch Australian models, if we have the real Bond. Daniel Craig.
    And why we have to see that love story, if we have BEST Bond film with Madagascar parkour chases, yellow M's office and hi-tec.
    I select Casino Royale in Montenegro.
    :D

    OHMSS is good but very overrated.

    Completely agree about the overrated-ness. I never have figured out where the glory is in OHMSS.

    Easy as could be. CR, and anyone who has been around here for a while knows why I love it so much.

    Indeed, I had you in mind when thinking of the CR supporters!

    OHMSS because it is so Fleming and a classic.

    And if OHMSS is so overrated than that goes double for CR who for some reason lost to much of the source novel in exchange for actionscenes.

    wow i know this would come, tough choice for me, i like both (top two), but i must give OHMSS, though Craig is a better Bond IMO

    Both great Bond movies showing a more physical, vulnerable and down to earth side of Bond. OHMSS used to be near the bottom of my rankings but it's safely in my top three now and I genuinely appreciate Lazenby's underated performance.

    The film with the best Bond soundtrack of the series wins my vote here, OHMSS.

    I still love OHMSS but I have to go with Casino Royale. My favourite of all time

    I don't like either, but OHMSS does place slightly higher in my ranking than CR.

    George did OK for his one and only appearance, OHMSS gets unfairly castigated by some, it's easy to see why some have it down as 'classic Bond' even..

    But on this day, Casino Royale wins, what a debut from Craig, brought some much needed seriousness and teeth to James Bond again, it has the superb 'You know my name' as an added merit, a fine and enthralling Bond adventure that for the most part keeps the viewer's strict attention

    This is the battle between my two least favorite Bond films. OHMSS ranks slightly higher in my book.

    Two of the most amazing films in the series. Numbers 1 and 3 in my rankings. Casino Royale gets my vote but there's no shame in losing there.
