I was quite confused when I logged on and saw that the thread had 200 new posts. Certainly, that would be a lot growth overnight.
Thanks to both you and @andmcit for the updated lists.

9-8 Skyfall
Just barely, I originally had it as a tie in the Bond girl category, but in the end gave it to Skyfall.

9-8 to Skyfall
Your wish is my command.
Despite an early lead and a late rally, Skyfall falls to The Spy Who Loved Me by a margin of 209-224-8. For our next match, we'll cover the one movie that has been unfortunately left out thus far, as A View to a Kill takes on Diamonds are Forever!

DAF 10, AVTAK 7
Both two of my least favorite Bond films; DAF at #20, AVTAK in dead last at #23. They each have a few redeeming qualities (Like Wint and Kidd in DAF and Zorin in AVTAK), but just aren't my cup of tea as Bond films.
PTS: Neither (They both stink on ice on different levels)
Title Track: AVTAK (Can't argue with a Bond theme that hit #1)
Title Credits: AVTAK
Main Villain: AVTAK (Goldfinger II > Blofeld III)
Main Bond Girl: Neither (Both equally annoying)
Overall Plot: DAF (At least the DAF plot was original)
Dialogue: DAF
Score: AVTAK
Settings: AVTAK (San Francisco/Paris over Vegas/Amsterdam. Though none of them are bad places to visit)
Action: AVTAK (There's just something about fighting over an axe on top of a major bridge with a blimp tied off)
Humor: DAF (Duh)
Cinematography: DAF
Benign Bizarre: DAF
Suspense: AVTAK (I had my doubts that May Day wouldn't jump off the cart, but by golly, she blew herself up)
Minor Characters: DAF
Glamour: AVTAK (Paris and Zorin's estate)
Ally: AVTAK (Sir Godfrey was better than most Felix's. Such as the Felix in DAF.)
Roger's 2nd worst trumps Connery's worst by a 9-6-2 tally.

Main Villain: AVTAK (I enjoy Charles Gray, but his Blofeld is a mess)
Main Bond Girl: DAF (St. John is good in the first half before she turns into a ditzy mess. Roberts is one of the weakest in the series)
Overall Plot: AVTAK (Moves along at a pretty solid pace. Both are a little weak)
Dialogue: AVTAK (Macnee and Moore have great lines. Gotta love Saint John Smythe. Walken has great lines)
Score: AVTAK (Golden Gate Bridge fight scene and the slow romantic version of Duran Duran's theme is great)

I did not expect such a smackdown here. I like AVTAK better than DAF, but not leaps and bounds. DAF is at the bottom of my list, while AVTAK is in the 15-18ish range. AVTAK narrowly edges DAF in most of these categories though.
