YES! I am INVINCIBLE! Wish I could've killed it though but Dan is still a good one to put the misery out of it's misery.
I think I know which one is going next though... and I'll strike it like Thunderball. :v Then I'll predict that FRWL and OHMSS will be locked in an epic battle that will never end.
1) From Russia With Love [35](+)
2) Goldfinger [23]
3) Thunderball [19]
4) On Her Majesty's Secret Service [33](-)

I am satisfied. CR and AVTAK are at exactly the same places in this game as they are my personal favourites list---fifth, and dead last, respectively
Turns out there can be a bit of order amidst the chaos...

2) Goldfinger [21] - 1 = [20]
3) Thunderball [20]
4) On Her Majesty's Secret Service [34] + 1 = [35]
I think it interesting that those left are films generally considered 'classics' by the Bond intelligentsia. Collectively I guess we are conformists at heart. . .

Wow. It's great to see CR and TLD listed and confirmed as the 2 best Bond films made post-1970. Of course I would reverse their order, but I'm not complaining. Both great films.

That's the thing-- enough people have been participating in this game, with enough varying viewpoints, that it's got some degree of objective credence.

Loeff-- I think you forgot to factor in Krassno's vote. Interestingly enough we now have two ties.

Sorry guys, but while I love this game and I hope that GF wins, you can't exactly argue that this game is truly objective. Prince Kamal, I'm happy that your favourite films have been treated so well, but it's going to take more than a game like this to convince me that CR and TLD were the best Bond films made post-1970.

Sorry, I accidentally reposted. ;% Anyway, could someone, please save GF!!!

Dr No: it's just boring and, all my complaints about GE being cheap, times by ten, and Dr No is boiled to death in a giant condom, and they have a big sign with DANGER LEVEL written on it, which begs the question, why go up to a DANGER LEVEL and not stop before hand? Yes, Connery and Andress and Wiseman are great, and there are some good moments, but I can't get excited about a car chase when Sean Connery is filming his part on a blue screen somewhere, and I can't help noticing that all those "Chinese" people seem to have graduated from the Shirey MacRaine School of Curtural Lerations and are about as Chinese as me ("I am the son of a German missionary and a Chinese girl" - really, Mr Wiseman?!?!), and the good bits of Fleming are banged up against a really cheap and nasty B-movie. Thank God it exists, and it created Bond, and so on, but I really wish I could watch it on a more regular basis.

Exactly Dan! The game won't describe anyone's film taste, it barely desrcibes mine! I think the only exact placement may be TND and possibly DAF. Other than that it's waaaaaaaaay off. Ah well, I'll save OHMSS.

Add to that the fact that TB is outpacing GF, and I find myself taking Dan's side

And as for my opinion on Dr No, I've copied and pasted this from a previous "overrated" thread (http://www.ajb007.co.uk/index.php?topic=28097&cpage=2):
Dr No: it's just boring and, all my complaints about GE being cheap, times by ten, and Dr No is boiled to death in a giant condom, and they have a big sign with DANGER LEVEL written on it, which begs the question, why go up to a DANGER LEVEL and not stop before hand?
