Loeffelhotz and Barbel, I could be mistaken, so forgive me if I am, but I believe that you've gone more than twice in the past two days.
Not guilty (I just checked). I usually post shortly after midnight GMT (though a couple of nights ago I did come home late from a particularly tiring gig and couldn't be bothered, so posted the next morning), and Loeffelholz posts a while after me- he's commented that my post acts as his cue that he can safely post now. It's probably just a timezone thing, Dan, we're from all over the world on this very wonderful site.

Only delaying the inevitable, sadly...DN is a seminal classic that's not getting its dues here...ought to be a top three finisher, at least (it's 2nd on my own personal list)...guess a top five is still respectable---but not respectable enough
I'm leaving on a camping/fishing holiday tomorrow, for four days and three nights, so any further manufactured controversies will have to commence without me! ) Adieu, DN...you'll be gone when I return -{

A movie that I think should be in the top three isn't going to make it either, and a movie that I think should have been out five places ago will be instead.... That's how it works....

Yes, I realize that, actually---otherwise, OP and AVTAK would be squarely where they belong: at 21 and 22, respectively. My commentary on the proceedings has been limited, in all fairness, so I'm merely editorializing a bit. Here at the end of the game, the stakes get higher---as does the entertainment value B-) I'll just go camping and fishing, then...

This is tough, but I have to go with OHMSS for Peter Hunt.
Welcome, I like you already.
Thanks. Not many admire PH as much as I do. He is one of the true heroes of the series (along with Terrence Young, Ken Adam, John Barry, John Stears, etc.) Plus, CR is an easy target for me.

Had to do it. For me it would always come down to OHMSS and FRWL. (although LALD is my childhood favorite.) CR just doesn't belong with any of the classics. Dr. No is fantastic, but too bogged down with starting everything off and is a bit too low-key thriller. Yet it has some of the touches that set it apart-Bond setting up Miss Taro's cottage for Dent's arrival. FRWL has the fast intrigue that makes it irresistible. Goldfinger just seems too full of what Bond would call the "soft life". (Goldfinger Ch. 1 of all places!) Plus I much prefer Terrence Young to Guy Hamilton's laid back approach. The first six films have the rapid fire cutting of Peter Hunt who directed OHMSS with his expertise gained over 7 years. Thus I give the edge to OHMSS.

I love DN to bits, and while I think it should have finished fourth (after GF, FRWL and TB) I'm not going to save it. I do think that it is a tragedy that it will have finished lower than the vastly inferior CR, and I also prefer it to OHMSS, but it's facing death and saving it will put off the inevitable for only so long.

Oh yes, would anyone object to me starting a villain elimination game (several days after this one is completed of course)? 28 villains are included (Including the five separate incarnations of Blofeld) If accepted, I'd get more into this later on, after this game is complete (Which hopefully will be within the next 3 weeks).

Except for Goldfinger being there, three of the bests are left. What Goldfinger is doing here, I don't know....

Only delaying the inevitable, sadly...DN is a seminal classic that's not getting its dues here...ought to be a top three finisher, at least (it's 2nd on my own personal list)...guess a top five is still respectable---but not respectable enough
I'm leaving on a camping/fishing holiday tomorrow, for four days and three nights, so any further manufactured controversies will have to commence without me!

Had to do it. For me it would always come down to OHMSS and FRWL. (although LALD is my childhood favorite.) CR just doesn't belong with any of the classics. Dr. No is fantastic, but too bogged down with starting everything off and is a bit too low-key thriller. Yet it has some of the touches that set it apart-Bond setting up Miss Taro's cottage for Dent's arrival. FRWL has the fast intrigue that makes it irresistible. Goldfinger just seems too full of what Bond would call the "soft life". (Goldfinger Ch. 1 of all places!) Plus I much prefer Terrence Young to Guy Hamilton's laid back approach. The first six films have the rapid fire cutting of Peter Hunt who directed OHMSS with his expertise gained over 7 years. Thus I give the edge to OHMSS.

I love DN to bits, and while I think it should have finished fourth (after GF, FRWL and TB) I'm not going to save it. I do think that it is a tragedy that it will have finished lower than the vastly inferior CR, and I also prefer it to OHMSS, but it's facing death and saving it will put off the inevitable for only so long.

Oh yes, would anyone object to me starting a villain elimination game (several days after this one is completed of course)? 28 villains are included (Including the five separate incarnations of Blofeld) If accepted, I'd get more into this later on, after this game is complete (Which hopefully will be within the next 3 weeks).
