    It occurs to me that we need a Henchman category in this one. Xenia versus Jaws, anyone?

    Pretty much what I expected, very close but Goldeneye just edges it. 9:8 to GE. I really like both though and they're both in my top 5.

    4 for GoldenEye, 13 for TSWLM. Always thought GoldenEye was just a tad overrated, while TSWLM is one of my favorite Bond movies of all time.

    That should be 8-9 in favor of GoldenEye, @royale65. Nothing personal, I just don't want to get confused when doing the final comparison.

    Well, folks, after one of our closest matches yet we have a final score of 236-207 in favor of GoldenEye! A great round for two great films. Truth be told, I was worried GE would lose and then I'd have to give TWINE a real easy match against Moonraker or something.

    On to our next bout, which features two Bond movies that MI6 seems to love, but which I, truth be told, think are overrated (but still worthwhile) in Thunderball and The Living Daylights!

    PTS: TLD
    Title Track: TB
    Title Credits: TB (neither is particularly inspired)
    Main Villain: TB
    Main Bond Girl: TLD
    Overall Plot: TB (TLD is just too complicated)
    Dialogue: TLD
    Score: TLD
    Settings: TLD (never understood the praise lavished on Afghanistan, but it's still more varied than just the Bahamas, beautiful though they may be)
    Action: TLD
    Humor: TLD
    Cinematography: TB
    Benign Bizarre: TB
    Suspense: TLD
    Minor Characters: TLD (good old Kamran Shah)
    Glamor: TB
    Ally: TB (Felix vs. Felix, Kamran Shah is under minor characters)

    9-8 for The Living Daylights! Fitting as it beats Thunderball 11 to 14 on the Bond ranking.

    Good ones; the milk bottles is what gave TLD the edge for me.

    Thanks for the reply @chrisisall

    Hmmm... pretty equal films for me, and both probably in my top 10. Who be the master in this game? ;)

    Title Track: TB

    Main Villain: TB
    Main Bond Girl: TB (Domino has given me much pleasure)
    Overall Plot: TLD (I like a more complex plot in my Bond films)
    Dialogue: TLD
    Score: TLD
    Settings: TB (gotta choose Nassau, but I really like the appeal of Bratislava, Tangier, Vienna)
    Action: TLD (cargo net, Necros vs. Green4- two highlights in the series)
    Humor: TB
    Cinematography: TB (difficult one here, but the underwater scenes were ambitious and enjoyable)
    Benign Bizarre: TB
    Suspense: TLD
    Minor Characters: TLD
    Glamor: TB
    Ally: TLD

    TB= 9
    TLD= 8

    So TB just edges TLD. Not surprising at all.
