Inspired by the DN/FRWL double bill, I think this is a fun way to express how we like to watch Bond. Simply put, what are your favourite Bond double features, or ones you feel are ideal depending on your mood?
Mine:
-DN/FRWL: Classic Connery; the two most quintessential of his films which embody the spy thriller. A great intro to Bond for beginners.
-OHMSS/FYEO: For me the most Fleming-esque of the franchise, and quite enjoyable viewing to boot.
-OP/TWINE: Now THIS would have to be required for me; my two most favourite Bond films of all time.
-TLD/LTK: Dalton fans, rejoice! I quite like these two, as well.
-TB/GE: Terrific Saturday night escapism. Get some friends over, get the drinks and munchies and settle in for a good time.
-LALD/TMWTGG: Considering it's Roger Moore's first two Bonds, he comes off looking not too shabby in the role. Bonus points for having a character like J.W. Pepper in these two.
-TSWLM/MR: Unbelievable, over-the-top and silly (well at least in MR's case), but well-made escapist fare. Bond for the popcorn crowd.
-GE/TND: If it's action you're looking for, look no further; Pierce Brosnan is your man to give it to you.

I once caught Dr No and MR together at the London Pavilion cinema in the early 1980s, that worked well. Both sci-fi Bonds.
OHMSS and SF might work well, they're both a bit outside the loop for me, a bit different. I'd like to see OHMSS and FYEO, but I'd heavily reedit the latter, Barryise the score and redo the Blofeld demise to make it more credible.
Which makes me wonder, is there an edit of OHMSS with Lazenby's original voice for Bray? In Oz I belive that's the version that went out. And ironically I'd love to have Savalas dubbed by a more appropriate voice, he looks right but I can't have Blofeld as an American.
Roger Moore 1927-2017
You gotta admit, that was almost the archetypical.
OHMSS/CR: They are the Bond films in which Bond falls in love, and are rather long too.
OHMSS/LTK: The latter really gives a good idea of what a Bond-revenge film could've been like, had it not been YOLT, of course.
OHMSS/FYEO: The John Glen connection, and also Tracy/Blofeld.
TWINE/SF: Introspective Bond.
YOLT/DAF: Sean Connery's Bond at his silliest.
FYEO/OP: Roger Moore's Bond at his most serious.
DR. NO/NSNA: The beggining and the end of a Bond.
TB/OHMSS: Fleming continuity!
TB/DAD: Bond at his most epic.
GE/TWINE: The Zachovsky connection.
DN/LALD - Island/Caribbean feel, I love this combination
YOLT/TMWTGG - Oriental fest, watch if in the mood for that
FYEO/AVTAK - IMO the two darkest Moore films
TLD/LTK - Dalton's only 2 make for great back-to-back viewing
MR/DAD - A useful way for deciding what the worst bond film ever is
GE/TWINE - For valentin zukovsky
CR/QOS - Although not my favourites, they're connected so...
1 - Moore, 2 - Dalton, 3 - Craig, 4 - Connery, 5 - Brosnan, 6 - Lazenby
OP/AVTAK if you're in the mood for some good laughs and some Classic Moore.
LALD/TSWLM if you want to see Moores best.
OHMSS/FYEO for some darker Bond and a tiny bit of Blofeld continuity.
GE/TND for some all out action.

Live and Let Die/The Spy Who Loved Me - Best of Moore
The Spy Who Loved Me/For Your Eyes Only - Lotus Esprit Double Feature
