    GF
    SP (Tomorrow Never Dies has always felt like a generic Americanized action film to me and I find Arnold's score really unimaginative. There was more semblance of being a Bond film in Spectre despite it's obvious shortcomings, IMO)

    GF, easily.

    TND. Coin toss really since I rank these 2 as middle of the pack entries that are equivalent in quality but I'll be generous to Brosnan in this case and vote for his least pretentious and most consistently entertaining Bond film IMHO.
    FYEO beats MR 25-9

    CR beats MR 30-4

    Happy to see MR did better than I thought it would initially.

    Goldfinger
    Tomorrow Never Dies

    The second choice was far easier than the first.

    GF but that was hard. GE is the only Brosnan film that I quite like.

    SP by miles

    GF stomps all over GE. Crushes it as badly as Oddjob crushes the golf ball.

    So true. GE is average. GF is classic cinema.

    GF puts a finger in the eye of GE.

    SP over TND

    As iconic as GF is, GE takes it by a hair.

    Second is easier, TND for the spectacular car chase and Jonathan Pryce having a good time.

    GF (even though GE is Brosnan's best, GF is a classic for me.)

    TND (this is closer. SP's third act lets it down, but TND's is not much better. TND overall is a more fun time, Brosnan has his moments in the movie. The first half has the best parts. These are neck and neck in my rankings but today I'll go for Brosnan's second effort.)

    GE over GF. This is extremely close.

    TND over SP. SP is great, but TND is #1.

    GE over GF, although both are great.

    SP barely beats TND, as both are lacking.

    Goldfinger. I like GE a lot, but in this matchup "it will be dynamited".
    Spectre. Sorry Wai Lin.

    Amazed how many people rate TND over SP. While TND has it's moments, the only thing it has over SP is the delightfully entertaining, scenery-chewing villain. Well, and perhaps Wai Lin as well. Otherwise, I way prefer SP.

    For me it's David Arnold's first and best Bond score:

    I picked TND over SP, because it was my first Bond in the cinema and I've seen it more times so that I can remember every bit of it. Haven't watched Spectre in over a six month. Heck, have not watched a single Bond film in that time.
