    LALD over TWINE

    while i like the TWINE, i often times get annoyed by what kind of movie it wants itself to be.. i call it the bipolar Bond movie, because it rides the line of a serious drama - trying to expand Bond's character and go deeper while also trying to adhere to the traditional Bond formula - and i think in a lot of instances the film just doesn't mesh those two together well... i've gotten a fonder appreciation for it over the years, but i still prefer the audacious fun of LALD to it...

    CR over TMWTGG

    there isn't much to say here - CR runs away with it in every statistical category you can rate these films with... TMWTGG is the Bond film equivalent of a quaalude and a warm glass of milk lol.

    LALD > TWINE - "Perhaps we could try something in an even simpler vein."

    CR > TMWTGG - "Aces win."

    LALD beats TWINE with considerable ease I might add.

    CR beats TMWTGG slightly closer, though the compensations speak for themselves.

    LALD and CR. Both absolute no-brainers for me.

    LALD - TWINE's is for tombstones baby! Or family mottos? Or something to that effect.

    CR - Big win for The Man With The Golden Little Finger, not to be confused with Goldfinger.

    The two English Bonds debut films easily win this round.

    LALD. What’s more believable: Jane Seymour as the virginal “Solitaire” or Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist? Well, actually neither, but that’s a story for another day
