DAF-LTK
YOLT-OP
TSWLM-TLD

If you can´t choose which movie you prefer in a group , you don´t have to vote in that particular group. Just leave it blank.
My votes (prefered movies are written with thick letters):
AVTAK-GE
FRWL-LALD
DN-GF
OHMSS-TWINE

But I´m bored right now and waiting for a call. So, let me join in:
AVTAK-GE (because despite GE´s strengths, Sir Roger´s movie has been severely underrated)
FRWL-LALD (because FRWL is just more iconic)
DN-GF (because GF is just more... um, iconic, again. And bit more fun to me. Although... I should watch DN again...)
OHMSS - TWINE (oh, boy, this will get lots of people to hate me, but still, I´m an unashamed (fairly unashamed) TWINE luvie)
TMWTGG-CR (although I have re-discovered TMWTGG as a neglected gem, the first Craig Bond is just too good)
DAF-LTK (I do love LTK after all, but DAF is more fun to me - and I feel more like watching it now, so...)
YOLT-OP (OP is great but YOLT is such a weird, spaced-out, fever dream of a Bond movie - and it´s got the wonderful aerial shot of Bond fighting on the Kobe docks)
TSWLM-TLD (TLD is always in my top 5, but TSWLM was my first Bond and will always have a special place in my heart)
TND-DAD (not too fond of both but since I´m more in the mood to re-watch DAD right now...)
MR-FYEO (again, I love MR - but I´m currently re-reading the short stories and find it astonishing how much of FYEO and RISICO was actually used in the film - so I want to watch FYEO again)
TB- QOS (yeah, yeah, I always but TB down on my regular list and adore QOS - but TB has more iconic value... oh, again this dreaded word. Let´s say, it´s more epic. And it does have gorgeous photography)

Then there will be another 5 vs groups out of the 10 remaining film. After that there will be 5 movies left, and one of those has to go.
Then we come to the semi finals. 2 vs groups will eliminate another 2 movies, leaving the two remaining battling eath other for no.1.
Let the best movie win!

CR, for instance, is a better movie than MR, but I would have voted for MR.

FRWL-LALD (both are great Bond films, but FRWL is a bit better)
DN-GF (not even a contest)
OHMSS - TWINE (as mediocre as OHMSS can be at times, I just can't vote for TWINE over it)
TMWTGG- CR (not even a contest; one of the best in CR versus the film that rivals DAD for worst)
DAF-LTK (not a contest; LTK is the best of the films, DAF is a near disaster of a film)
YOLT-OP (not a contest; YOLT is one of the worst whereas OP is in my top 10)
TSWLM- TLD (TLD is a classic Bond film whereas TSWLM is slightly overrated)
TND-DAD (two decidedly subpar films; TND wins because DAD is the worst in the series)
MR- FYEO (FYEO is a classic Bond film, MR is one of my least-viewed films)
TB- QOS (TB is good, but not nearly as good as QOS)

AVTAK-GE (Christopher Walken, every time.)
FRWL-LALD (Close, but this is the stand-out Connery Bond.)
DN-GF (The original and best agains the over-rated 'GF'.)
OHMSS - TWINE (Probably get shot for this, but just not a fan of 'OHMSS'.)
TMWTGG-CR (Do I need a reason for this?)
DAF-LTK (As with 'AVTAK', an under-rated Bond if ever there was one.)
YOLT-OP (Great fun, great action and a great Roger Moore romp.)
TSWLM-TLD (Tough one, but I feel 'TSWLM' over shadows other equally good films with the iconic imagery rather than the Bond traits)
TND-DAD (My favourite Brosnan film, anything could beat 'DAD' in my opinon.)
MR-FYEO (Another example of when Bond wasn't taken too seriously!)
TB- QOS (Under-rated next to the giant of 'CR', but love the action and soundtrack, and find it more exciting than 'TB')

FRWL-LALD (fun always wins over quality with me)
DN-GF (tough one, but I'll go with sincere first effort over spectacle this time)
OHMSS - TWINE (unfair match - OHMSS kills without even trying)
TMWTGG-CR (no fair - a personal favorite (GG) vs one of the best!)
DAF-LTK (again, fun vs quality - plus DAF was my first)
YOLT-OP (tough one - I almost had to flip a coin)
TSWLM-TLD (fun>quality, and spectacle>sincere first effort this time)
TND-DAD (love 'em both, but DAD has the edge with me)
MR-FYEO (a case of too much vs too little)
TB- QOS (fun & spectacle)
Not fair to pair some of those up (DN-GF; YOLT-OP; TSWLM-TLD) but I did my best.
I'd like to know what the criteria was for the matchings: opposite styles? Humour and spectacle vs down-to Earth grittiness? (Of course, if I were to pair them up myself, it would be to deliberately eliminate half of them, so that would be biased.)

I think these match-ups are slightly skewed and do not represent a true sense of comparison.

GF - OHMSS (OHMSS is a middle-of-the-road Bond film, but this is no contest)
CR - LTK (this one is very difficult, but LTK comes out slightly ahead)
OP - TLD (I like OP quite a bit, but TLD is a classic)
TND - TB (no contest whatsoever)
MR - FYEO (like the last one, this one's no contest at all)

You asked about the choice of groups, well they were randomly selected. I took 22 small pieces of paper, wrote a film name on it and then, without looking, took 2 of the pieces. They later matched up.
My votes:
AVTAK - FRWL
GF - OHMSS
CR - LTK
OP - TLD
TND - TB
MR - FYEO

Hi, 007RogerMoore. I leave it to you take this back over.
No problem, you can do this if you want to. I can take it back of you would rather want that. If I am going to do that I need to know that happened to the other 10 movies. I haven´t been following this thread so I have no idea.
