Pussy Galore isnt a preferred Bond girl in my book. Yes, the movie is quite boring as well.
Such a shame that we have to go through the boring hour and thirty minutes to get to the spectacular Fort Knox climax!
I'm going to plump for The Spy Who Loved Me, but only by the slimmest of margins, and mostly for nostalgic reasons (and, of course, for Ken Adam on top form, for Rog finding his groove, and for that stunt.)
You know even though I chose GF over TSWLM I think your comments on GF may be due to the fact that the film is so badly dated. It has not survived the test of time (FRWL holds up so much better). In spite of all this I like it better than TSWLM just too campy and silly and Barbara Bach is rather annoying. It is better than MR but that doesn't say much.
Well I don't know, dated or not, it's just too dull and boring to make it a favorite. This is due in part to the locations and the lack of action after the DB5 chase around Auric Enterprises.
I would give AVTAK that title.
I enjoy reading when folks prefer MR to TSWLM. Please remember to post when we get to TSWLM vs. MR.
I looooove that score. It's mid-1960's sense of jazzy fun makes it a joy to listen to for me.
I think FRWL(and TB and YOLT) all benefit from better locations and are less studio-bound than GF. I'm still quite fond of GF although its studio-boundness is its worst aspect.
I would give that title to Goldeneye.
WTF?
Only the James Bond theme is more recognizable around the world.
Also at the risk of getting hit in the mouth, lets stay on subject: GF versus TSWLM and keep MR out for now.
I know she's a fine actress but I didn't really find her that alluring in Goldfinger, she was the oldest of the Bond girls at the time, about 37 years old, it's not that so much, I don't mind an older Bond girl, it's just that Ms Galore was a bit banal and uninteresting
Maud Adams was 37 when she played Octopussy.
My mistake. Blackman was actually 38 when she filmed Goldfinger, so with that corrected the point still stands.
I never knew Adams was 37 though, she looked good for her age.
Only problem I have with Ms Galore in the movie was how she was supposed to be an experienced pilot and she just goes all "damsel in distress" when the plane went out of control. Pilots, especially private ones are highly intelligent and keep their heads in a crises. This was a glaring plot hole for me.
Doesn't change that fact that 38 year old Honor Blackman was hot.
TSWLM: 13 votes
GF: 14 votes
Another close match, but Goldfinger beats The Spy Who Loved Me by just one vote
All right, the next round has commenced:
Octopussy vs. GoldenEye
Though GE is Brosnan's best film, I choose my favorite Roger Moore film over it.
