The winner of the winners last round was The Dark Knight. Star Trek: First Contact gave TDK a run for its money but not even the Borg could stop the Bat.

The winners of the previous rounds:

1. Goldeneye
2. Star Trek: First Contact
3. The World Is Not Enough
4. Star Trek: Nemesis
5. Batman Begins
6. The Dark Knight
7. The Dark Knight

Now we're going to do The Camp Round. Adam West, Roger Moore, and singing "Row, row, row your boat!" around the campfire. "Don't say I didn't warn you..."

Obviously, this round is going to be different from the others. It's not so much which one was the best, so much as which one was the "best" viewing experience. Camp or otherwise.
 
The 1966 Batman is pure camp, but isn't trying to convince you it's anything else. It revels in its silliness. As such, it's a boatload of fun. The bomb scene in particular is just a classic that I still can't help but laugh a ton at.

The other two are trying to pretend that they're serious, but just wind up being stupid.
 
Got to go with Batman (1966).

Moonraker is bad as a viewing experience, IMO. Star Trek V has it's good moments in amongst the bad, but it's not enough to top Batman.

Like has been said, this movie knows exactly what it is and doesn't try to get you to think it's anything else.

This. Though I do think that TFF's heart is in the right place.
 
Well, Moonraker is my favorite of the Roger Moore Bonds, and I love ANYTHING connected to the Adam West Batman (one of my favorite comedies), and even bad Star Trek (such as V) is still better than anything else.....

I abstain.
 
Since "camp" is the question at hand, Batman 1966 hands down. Moonraker wasn't camp, it was an self-referential spoof. Trek V was just plain bad. But I still consider Moonraker one of my favorite Bonds (it was the first one I saw in the cinema) and Batman '66 still brings a smile to my face. The Trek film makes me cringe (although the "Row Row Row your boat" scene has its charm.
