Wow! What a great idea and topic! Thanks!

PinkyPlonkyBangDaDaaah - how did I live all my life without this phrase? It explains everything!

Fab idea, Jim.

Thanks so much Jim.

I voted the straight MOONRAKER ticket, but admit that in the categories of favorite Moore Bond by performance and by villain, TMWTGG was a close second. I love Moore’s and Lee’s performances, even as I acknowledge that moving in a different direction in TSWLM was a wise choice for both Moore and the franchise.

I think Scaramanga just pips Drax because I like the dark mirror to Bond component, but both villains are effectively tied as the best of the Moore era, IMO. Drax’s scheme is literally more out there, and got my vote in that category. The most memorable plot in the franchise.

I took this as an excuse to rewatch all the title sequences; haven’t done this in years.

The score was the only category where it wasn’t TSWLM’s race to loose.

TSWLM is my favourite Moore by a long ways but I found myself giving a lot of love to LALD in there.

It was actually very close to the template they eventually settled on with TSWLM and MR, rather than TMWTGG, but with less big budget polish. Very fun and rewatchable movie.

If you take the music from LALD, the villain from TMWTGG, the stunts from TSWLM, the plot from FYEO, and the fun elements of Moonraker and Octopussy, you’re onto an excellent Bond movie.

Favorite villain: Max Zorin (The Bond series could always use more cow bell)
Favorite leading lady: Melina Havelock (as much as I love Barbara Bach, I love Carole Bouquet more)
Favorite villain’s scheme: Octopussy (shameless Octopussy plug)
Favorite henchperson: Jaws (The Spy Who Loved Me)
Favorite Bond performance: The Spy Who Loved Me
Favorite title song: The Spy Who Loved Me (Nobody does it better than Carly Simon)
Favorite score: The Spy Who Loved Me (still maybe my favorite score of the whole series, love Bond '77)
Favorite pre-credits: The Spy Who Loved Me
Favorite main titles: The Spy Who Loved Me

Save for the top 3, it’s The Spy Who Loved Me across the board. Still my favorite film, though Casino Royale, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Goldfinger, and Licence to Kill are close behind it).
