Bond's Beards' went on longer than this...
Simply no competition for this round, they stand side by side for release dates, but that's the only similarity apart from the lead actor in question
Thunderball wins with ease
Goldfinger could well be the worst release of the 1960's for Bond I'd even go as far to say, being quite serious. Maybe You Only Live Twice takes that title, but by god, it would be a close contest
Thunderball gets a bit boring sometimes when I watch it. But never during Goldfinger do I get bored.
I wouldn't say that exactly, I mean if it hadn't been well received, I have a feeling that the producers would have continued on anyway and tried again instead of giving up. Also, I could say the same thing about people who don't like GoldenEye, like yourself, but I realize that there are so many different Bond tastes on here, so it's all right with me if mine don't match up with someone else's. I dislike Goldfinger, but I'm still a Bond fan because we've got so many others that I love. Still though, because it is a Bond movie, I will watch GF and enjoy it to an extent because it is 007. It's just that when you put them up against each other, GF suffers the next to last spot.
Thunderball
I new it would come down to a absurd comparison with some, to put it mildly, mediocre entry like GE.
Seriously, you rate GE more highly than GF? The comedy value of this thread is endless. Next you'll be telling me that Alec Trevelyan trumps Auric Goldfinger and that you actually prefer a bit of Eric Serra's bored doodlings to that loser John Barry.
You start claiming GE trumps GF and the discussion goes beyond taste into the realms of fantasy.
Hey, I didn't want to start an argument, really, I just wanted to explain myself and give you more insight into your post. However, I will say that yes, Alec Trevelyan is worlds better than Auric Goldfinger and when comparing Eric Serra's masterpiece soundtrack against Barry's somewhat annoying GF soundtrack, not even close. Serra wins. There's really nothing about GE that doesn't beat any other Bond movie. But hey, you asked!
You speak the gospel on this one Getafix =D>
All True 00Beast.

I'm just comparing Serra's soundtrack to Barry's Goldfinger soundtrack. I prefer Barry's other scores over GoldenEye's.
however when it comes to Goldfinger's Score over GoldenEye's score. I like GoldenEye's better. I know what good music is, 80% of my music library is John Barry music and James Bond music. I have every Bond soundtrack out there. However, I will take The Banjo que from Goldfinger over Ladies First any day.
Thunderball- 25
Hahahahah!!! EPIC!!! 12 votes over the most "iconic" Bond movie!
Next round, as requested by @BAIN123
You Only Live Twice vs. The Living Daylights
Yes, it was the 25th anniversary very recently, but not just because of that, simply put, Daltons debut film wins with something to spare
Woah hold on a second there. GE didn't turn Bond into a global phenomena. It didn't start anything really. It just continued a trend. CR made a huge stride for the series while GE, as I said with all of Brosnan's films, simply felt like a nostolgia act.
We even had GF vs. GE sometime back, which I suggested, and GF easily won.
And I understand we're all entitled to our opinions and you have a right to enjoy Serra's score more than Barry's but to say it's actually a better score is an idea so absurd it's almost funny. I don't think even Serra would agree with that. There's a huge difference between preferring something and saying it's better. I prefer Death Wish 3 to Citizen Kane as it's alot of cheesy 80s fun that puts a smile on my face. But I would never suggest that Death Wish 3 is a better movie than Citizen Kane.
As far as the A vs B showdown goes TLD gets my vote.
Thank god there is someone on these boards to point this out Getafix.
As doe YOLT vs TLD. Love them both but it has to be TLD
In that case put me down for Twice TLD is good but YOLT comes from a classic era and has some cracking set design as well as Donald Pleasence.
