    OHMSS and DAF.

    DAF is a heavily flawed film but 100% more entertaining than SP.

    FRWL
    TB

    Both are tough choices, especially the first, but damn... FRWL is a god among the Bond films.

    FRWL edges out TSWLM.

    TB destroys TWINE.

    FRWL vs. TSWLM - a very difficult choice for me. FRWL is my top Bond film and TSWLM is my #4. Based on that, the decision should be simple, but it's actually not. I love both of these films equally for different reasons. One is the ultimate small scale Bond espionage thriller and the other is the epitome of the larger than life Bond film. Both are executed with precision, expertise and excellence and both feature their respective Bond actors in their (and my) favourite films from them. The atmosphere in both (Istanbul and in Egypt respectively) is off the charts and I find the villains, while very different, to be equally iconic. The earlier film takes it, but it's close.

    TB vs. TWINE - I'm afraid I didn't have to think about this. My #2 against my #24.

    TSWLM over FRWL, not even close.

    TWINE over TB, even less close.

    Well, I'm going to start with a FRWL first and TB as the main dish.

    Really enjoy all four films in this particular round.

    TSWLM narrowly beats FRWL mostly due to its sheer entertainment value which makes it an easy watch. Then Thunderball over TWINE. Some of the best deliveries from Connery definitely put this above the latter.

    TWINE vs TB is a tough, but fair matchup. Both are slower films where Bond's not always in control or aware of what's going on. I'd give the nod to TWINE.

    As for the second, TSWLM is a quintessential Bond film, but FRWL is not only a defining Bond film, it's a genuinely good piece of cinema. I'd give it the nod.

    FRWL - Best Bond Movie Ever™
    TB - mediocre, but considerably better than that mess that is TWINE

    FRWL with a tinge of sadness.

    TB ever so slightly.

    I truly love Spy, but against FRWL...I’m going with Sean’s second Bond film.
    FRWL
    TB against TWINE. It’s like chalk and cheese. An easy win for...

    Now I wonder why chalk should be preferable to cheese... I love eating cheese, but not chalk. And in that case, TWINE is certainly no cheese. Except maybe grated American Parmesan cheese (of the kind that comes with Miracoli) that tastes like I imagine grated chalk would taste.
