I'm onboard With TSWLM tomorrow, of course. But so far we've seen only (possibly not DN?) movies that are pretty much univesrally loved. I hope we'll pick one with a more mixed reputation for next Friday.
MR is one of the more debated entries, sure. Even though I don't own a copy of MR myself I think the film is an obvious choise for you to watch together. But since Moore made seven Bonds it's natural to watch three of his, and I think AVTAK, LALD and TMWTGG are good choises.
Somebody said, and I'm paraphrasing, "Here we go, another lovefest" as we started watching one recently and they have a point. I believe N24 has suggested that one of the less universally beloved films may provoke more interesting discussion.
Or to paraphrase a countryman of yours: "Not through speeches and majority decisions will the great questions of the day be decided - but by silicone and broadband". )
I'm going to vote for MR too, as it polarises opinions. There are some bits in it I love, and some I hate, do I'm also interested to see what others make of it.
Whoops, slept through Moonraker this morning...completely forgot about it. Need more updates the day of on the sticky thread!! Before I went to bed last night the most recent post on the thread was 0400 Friday my time, then the next post was well after I had gone to bed, 0100 Saturday (for a start time of 0500 Sat), almost a day later.

You should not bank on anything being logical coming from my end
I‘d propose FYEO to have another look on the adorable Cassandra Harris to build the brigde directly into the Brosnan age, or AVTAK, alternatively GE which is a must imo.

I think it should be AVTAK. It's the formost example of the "senior citizen" Bond, it's not science fiction like MR and we need an example of Moore's Bond in the 1980's.
If we skip to Dalton I think it should be LTK because it stands out. It's the most Daltonesque of his two entries.
You argue well for TLD, especially the bit about your blood pressure.
But I still feel TLD is the most distinctive of the two and hence it's the best choice. I'm not totally against us watching TLD, but it's not very different from many other Bond films in my opinion.

(Typing "strong entries" makes me think that some would make a double entendre out of that. But surely I can't be serious)

So, my suggestion is TMWTGG.
So, LTK is out and TLD as we all agree that it‘s sh*te

This is clearly some new use of the word "all" which I've not encountered before.

When are we thinking of screening it?
Next Show next Friday 19:00 GMT?

Well, Higgins, obviously either TLD or LTK- your choice!
(It's only logical. In order we've had 2 of Connery's, the one Lazenby, 2 of Moore's, must be Dalton next)

Agreed, we skip Dalton

I am able to get some enjoyment from LTK because of the Florida locations and the lovely Carey Lowell, there is not much of that kind in TLD.
I have chosen TLD just because I want to rant on and on about that baloon popping scene. My blood pressure is already building up
