Would you rather watch TB celebrating its 60th OR GE celebrating its 30th anniversary?

    Do you still remember what they censored for TV?

    Not really, although (as @thedove stated), it was clear that they were edited ("for time and content").

    Ultimately, it didn't matter, since I was too young to have seen these movies when they originally were shown in theaters. What was important for me, was that these movies looked and sounded so "cool." And you could always tell when a Bond movie had been on TV, as the next day, all of the guys at school were pretending to be him!

    TB, even though I love both. For me, OHMSS, CR, and SF are the only Bond films to top any given one of the ones in the incredible run of Connery’s first four.

    Thunderball

    Wins.

    allthough I love GE, TB, where Connery is at the top of his game, the story outlandish but still realistic, the gadgets impossible but believable, the locations as exotic as they get, the villain an enigma but cruelly dangerous, and the stuntwork very cool, is the better film. Just slightly better in every small detail. Lie the DBS over the DB9.

    TB ranks #2 all time for me. So TB it is. :D

    TB. And I'll be a contrarian and say because of the quieter moments: the spa, the SPECTRE meeting, etc. I find it atmospheric.

    GE is fun but I've seen it on the big screen several times. It also hits hard to see this film I watched as an 18-year-old becoming a classic from a bygone era :) So TB if you please.

    Bristol has a cinema in the aquarium. They could include a visit to the sharks with your ticket...

    I love both, so I'd welcome both.

    However, I suppose TB captures that 60's spy extravaganza magic better than any other entry, so I'll go for that one.

    Pictures are often worth 1,000 words. Well done @Venutius
