This is all just wheel spinning. I'm playing devil's advocate only because I don't like this "understanding" that the enlightened have that lesser people don't.
I strive towards objectivity but I also feel that objectivity is fluid and impossible to define.
I could say that DAF's wit and its razor sharp dialogue, darkly comedic, etc puts it above GF. Just something I'm throwing out as one example. I could say the music is better. Am I objectively right or wrong? I prefer the music in GF, for the record. I'm just trying to give you something to think about.
For example, I think "technically speaking" (which is up for debate as well, but I digress) MR is a "better" film than probably 2/3 of the series. Many would disagree with me, but the music, cinematography, production design, use of location, atmosphere, production values, etc make it a pretty "great" film.
Quite. Virtually everybody has bought into non-judgmentalism at all costs so heavily that their common sense has been vanquished. We know bloody well that FRWL is superior to DAD, but people would rather play dumb than enunciate the truth and thereby violate the sacrosanct diktats of the West's defective moral system.
Good points.
DAF may have the best score and dialogue of all of the Bond movies, objectively speaking.
And even if I have DAF at the bottom of my Bond ranking it still is a marvelous movie and its re-watchability value is huge. It never gets boring.
Overall, with Connery's "performance", the camp and the low production value and the horrible Blofeld, DAF will never be better than GF overall, objectively speaking. IMHO
That is exactly why I love MR, and prefer MR over GF. And no matter how many times the enlightened crowd here tells me that I shouldn't and am wrong, I just can't help preferring MR's music, cinematography, production design, use of location, atmosphere, production values, etc. Like you said: from a technical standpoint (as well as creative) MR is as good as it gets. For me - it's a perfect Bond movie. For others.... well, I don't really care.
is that the one where Jaws flaps his wings like a cartoon character when he's falling?
or Bond getting shot on a train by a sniper, falling some hundred meters from a bridge into water, sinking and getting saved by Mermaid Adele!
Spectre but feel Skyfall is the better film.

...and is that the movie where Jaws falls into the circus tent like Bugs Bunny?
This would be an interesting test to give to a casual filmgoing audience. Who is more recognizable, Jaws or Oddjob?
Certainly the most famous of all the henchman, I'd go so far to say, he's as famous as Goldfinger is.
Literally
:))
I agree. Kinda like how Live and Let Die is easily the most recongizable Bond song.
Fans may love goldfinger but won't remember much of it apart from the iconic images
I've got a dictionary with me at all times, and come to think of it, I saw a picture of you next to the entry "pustule." Fancy that.
And you're not telling us anything new by pointing out the fallacy of objectivity. It's understood.
It's in the pantheon of the greats, no doubt.
