Indeed, FYEO's action sequences out-do Goldfinger's in too many respects. There's more of them and they are better in quality I believe. The only one that might come close is the Fort Knox battle against the battle at St. Cyril's, but the rock climbing scenes in the latter make me choose it over Fort Knox.
GF.
Really?
I practically worship GE but even I admit GF is probably the better film.
Oh well. Each to their own!
For Your Eyes Only is streets ahead in terms of action and suspense, Moore does a fine job, Carole Bouquet is a trillion times better than the awful Blackman (Galore) and there's so much to see and get involved in, that simply doesn't happen in Goldfinger until the very end, it was a very straightforward decision - in that For Your Eyes Only wins this round with ease
Hahaha, exactly. Very well stated!

GF - 4
FYEO - 6
And thanks to @Rogertheclown, it's now 18-16 for FYEO! The comeback has become a lead!
All that's good in GF that you listed are Sean and the DB5. Other than that, you listed all the bad things.
The Bond vs. Goldfinger dialogue is brilliant, Honor
Blackman and Shirley Eaton are smoking hot sexy, the PTS though ambiguous and weird was thrilling culminating in the ending fight, and this suit is absolutely magnificent:

That is more than enough to claim its victory. Hell, just Sean in it is enough. :)
Pussy Galore is just... stupid. "You can turn off the charm, I'm immune." and then she's fallen in love with Bond practically by their next scene together.
"Gawldfinguh!" I've described my disdain for this song many many times over, and the sheer mention of it's name turned off the power in my friend's house (true story).
"No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!" is Goldfinger's only claim to fame, and his only good line. Other than that...
I really have nothing bad to say about the gold lady and her sister (who's names escape me), only that they were underused.
The PTS just... sucks. The only good thing is Sean in the white tux that he made famous and didn't wear a whole lot.
Felix was just crap in that film, and didn't do much.
They forgot to fix the "Three more ticks..." line.
2 more votes for GF from Getafix & 0BradyM0Bondfanatic7.
It's now tied at 18-18!
