    LALD doesn't age well

    Agreed, it definitely dates itself, which is one of the reasons why it has slipped with me recently. It's just so crinkly and crusty looking at points, making you realize that it was made in 1973.

    This one is extremely close for me. Two Bond films I find to be decent and fairly entertaining, but not much more. By a hair, I'll give it to The Spy Who Loved Me.

    14. The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) - 7/10
    15. Live and Let Die (1973) - 7/10

    LIVE AND LET DIE
    about it being dated? Naw...more like a time capsule of the early seventies. The styles, the music, a young Roger Moore, Jane Seymour, Yaphet Kotto and Geoffrey Holder.

    Live and Let Die is my favorite Bond adventure

    It's all that needs to be said

    I'll take Jayne over Barbara any day.

    I'll take McCartney over Simon any day.

    I'll take Kananga over Stromberg any day.

    I'll also take LALD over TSWLM any day.

    Despite LALD having a better score and arguably a better villain and Bond girl, TSWLM has the more rousing story.

    TSWLM.

    man this is tough Live and let die because McCartney wrote THE Bond title song... why he hasn't returned is beyond me i'd take him over anyone.

    The Spy Who Loved Me. I didn't mind the blaxploitation influence in LALD, but what I did mind was it's half-assed, extremely stupid plot. It's a shame too, such a stylish film wasted by a crappy script. "Spy" might be a YOLT carbon copy, but at least it's entertaining.

    Is Paul McCartney really that much better?

    TSWLM, it is just more entertaining.

    TSWLM is the best 'fantasy' Bond outing from good ol' Sir Rog' IMO. Epic everything, here. Submersible cars; fresh stunts; brand new 007 stage built especially for the tanker; Stanley Kubrik's involvement- how could it go wrong? Everything I could hope for in a Bond film is here.

    LALD is also awesome, though not as grand scaled. Unique voodoo themes; epic title song and score; interesting henchmen; a good solid effort for Moore's first.

    Moore outings list:

    1. TSWLM
    2. FYEO
    3. LALD

    Spy gets it without a doubt.

    This is a really tough one. Sir Roger's 1st and 2nd favorites of the films he starred in. My opinion can change but as of right now Im going with LALD. I just find it more fun.

    Although I prefer Jane to Babs, I vote for TSWLM. The 1977 adventure brought back an epic feel of the TB/YOLT/OHMSS era that had been missing from the series for a while and it's definitely the more epic of these 2 entries.

    LALD has Jane Seymour.

    My point is valid.

    LALD it is.

    Very much agree. Jane Seymour means my vote goes to LALD

    Definitely (even though I do like LALD) The Spy Who Loved Me!

    These last two have been fiendish. You are an evil, evil person, and you probably own a white cat and live in a hollowed out volcano.

    I would have, after much agonising, gone for Goldfinger in the last contest; and, as for this one, I love Live And Let Die, but have to plump for The Spy Who Loved Me. I have a fondness for escapist epics that are done well.

    And so will I. TSWLM is one of my least favourites in the whole series. LALD is by no means the greatest, but it easily wins this one for me.

    The Spy Who Loved Me LALD may have been my first Bond film, but Spy feels more like a Bond film to me.

    I'll go along with this...

    The film that started my interest in James Bond.
    Nobody does it better, than The Spy Who Loved Me.

    Hahaha, you are talking to Blofeld himself right here!

    Tough one, but I think I will have to go with TSWLM, by a small margin.

    Agreed. TSWLM wins but not by much.
