My vote goes to On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

The film as a whole is great. Its the most emotional bond film for obvious reasons and has some of the best stunts of the entire bond series. Although Lazenby's performance was not top notch, he still did a passable james bond. The film clearly is amazing because of a strong direction and a clever script.

I enjoy Octopussy as well and believe it to be the third best for Roger Moore. Its one of the most entertaining bond films and although a little messy, Moore gives a solid performance and the plot is good.

OP = my least favorite Bond movie
OHMSS = one of my favorite Bond movies

I really like Octopussy and think it's one of the most underrated Bond movies, but OHMSS was one of the more personal Bond movies, along the likes of LTK and DAD. Although it really didn't fare too well at the box office, the producers were clever knowing the had to find some way to replace the most famous actor in the world at the time.

"This never happened to the other fella."

Not to mention I always have the OHMSS theme stuck in my head and "We Have All The Time In The World" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
