2) SP
I guess it's not surprising that opinions are so strong one way or the other considering how different they are.

.....but not my much at all. Both are in my top 5
I'm actually finding it hard to separate them right now. After one SP viewing I'm seeing them both as very similar - maybe its the Mendes-ness, and the Thomas Newman score that repeats cues in both films, the political goings-on at MI6. SF and SP could be one near 5 hour long film, just as people like to say CR and QOS could be one long film (though in that case I think CR is miles better than QOS and stylistically very different).

I agree with you that there is a continuation aspect to SF/SP like there was with CR/QoS, and Mendes influence is clear in both, but I meant 'different' due to the tones.
Many (including myself) say that QoS epilogues CR and it does, but it is tonally night and day for me, with QoS almost chaotic/frenetic, while CR is very refined and classy, taking its time.
I felt the same way with SP. SF is dark. SP starts off in a very humorous way (unlike SF) and then gets a little darker near the end, but never goes to the same level as SF. It's much more light hearted.

But...
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
SF probably appeals to a larger crowd, whereas SP is more a fan-pleaser. This is by no means a scientific study to reveal the "best" movie. Just the personal favorite of the users on this board.

I like both, but something's just not gelling with me for SPECTRE. Still top drawer entertainment though.
Think I would have enjoyed it more if it was a stand-alone film and not trying to tie all previous DC films together.
(Way down the list)

As I've said before, I came out of SF screening a bit underwhelmed, and watching it now, hasn't changed my view. SP, I have only seen TWICE, (back again to see it Wednesday) but it just feels more Bondian (If that's a word?). More entertaining.
SF has much to admire, but it really doesn't have as many memorable scenes or set pieces as SP, therefore it has to come second!
