14-3 to Live and Let Die
Title Track: LALD (not even close)
Title Credits: LALD (not crazy about either, but still prefer LALD's gothic theme)
Main Villain: LALD (never been a big fan of Elliot Carver; Kananga is solid though)
Main Bond Girl: LALD (Wai Lin was solid, but I still prefer Solitaire)
Overall Plot: LALD (wasn't crazy about TND's technology-ridden plot)
Dialogue: LALD (TND's was pretty weak I think; LALD had some hilarious lines)
Score: LALD (very catchy and fitting throughout most of the movie)
Settings: LALD (LALD had a great collection of settings; TND was so-so)
Action: TND (I felt like LALD didn't have enough action, while TND had too much. Still, have to give TND the point for its great action sequences)
Humor: LALD (not even close; LALD is the funniest Bond film in the series for me)
Cinematography: TND (TND gets a new point)
Benign Bizarre: LALD (come on - do I have to explain this one? LALD could win this category against any other Bond film)
Suspense: LALD (neither was particularly suspenseful in my opinion, but a couple scenes in LALD take it for me)
Minor Characters: LALD (loved Baron Samedi and Tee-Hee)
Glamour: TND (really TND's only blowout point. LALD is one of the series' least glamorous)
Ally: LALD (neither were great, but I'll go with LALD for Felix and Quarrel, Jr.)
14-3 Live and Let Die wins in a blowout for me.

17-0 clean sweep for LALD. I don't think TND is bad by any means. It's a nice standard Bond entry to the series, but LALD has it all and has quietly climbed my personal ranking.
PTS: TND (one of the best, period- "where do you want the bombs?" B-) )
Title Track: LALD (Wings without earmuffs)
Title Credits: LALD (voodoo women, skulls on fire- one of the best TCs)
Main Villain: LALD (either Kananga is underated as a villain, or I just have an inflated opinion of him)
Main Bond Girl: LALD (yes, Yeoh is awesome, but we're talking about the incredible Jane Seymour here)
Overall Plot: LALD (Bond said it himself- "quite ingenious")
Dialogue: LALD (..and I'll kill you if you don't- make your choice./wrap it length-wise)
Score: LALD (TND has it's moments (PTS, Surrender, the one with the sax where Bond goes to Carver's party)- but LALD is lej from end to end)
Settings: LALD (I like fictional San Monique and Kananga's lair- it sure beats the hell out of Harlem)
Action: TND (PTS, bike chase over the chopper, HALO jump, carpark antics- REDUCE SPEED NOW)
Humor: LALD (You got a set o wheels that just won't quit, boy. Spin around, boy. Ten fingers on the fenduh, boy)
Cinematography: TND (delicious)
Benign Bizarre: LALD (love the voodoo supernatural themes, a unique entry in the series)
Suspense: TND ("Herr Kaufmann, I have a clear shot at your head"- James Bond)
Minor Characters: LALD (Kaufmann is great, but I really like Baron Samedi and Tee Hee Hee)
Glamour: TND (Carver's party, Bond in Paris)
Ally: LALD (Jack Wade has great dress sense, but I like how a genuine Felix says Nelson David 'Joyj')
TND: 5
LALD: 12

17 to 0 for LALD... hmmm, I think he's biased.
I'm not biased, I just hate that skinny male model punk Bond-wannabe Brosnan that you seem to love so much, you pussy.
That's it, back to the Phantom Zone for you. Just because you're my evil twin that doesn't give you the right to speak to me like that...

12-5, Tomorrow Never Dies
Edit: I'm kind of amazed just how many people prefer the PTS of L&LD to that of TND. Taste is subjective, I know that, but this one's a bit of a head-scratcher for me.

TND- 7 LALD-10
Title Track: LALD (Duh)
Title Credits: LALD (Again, Duh)
Main Villain: LALD (Because an Island dictator posing as an American gangsta is a more believable main villian)
Main Bond Girl: LALD (Duh V3.0)
Overall Plot: LALD (Distributing free crack was never about ratings)
Dialogue: TND (Less outdated)
Score: LALD (Best used during the Bayou Boat Chase)
Settings: TND (Frankfurt, Vietnam and China actually exist)
Action: TND (The best part of TND)
Humor: TND (Again, not outdated)
Cinematography: LALD (Still holds up pretty good for an early 70s film)
Benign Bizarre: LALD (Um, Duh! once again)
Suspense: LALD (There were doubts about Bond keeping his vital organs)
Minor Characters: LALD (Kananga had quite the rogue's gallery)
Glamour: TND (I imagine a Frankfurt brothel would be more glamorous than Harlem or Bourbon Street)
Ally: LALD (Hedison's worst performance far > than Baker's worst performance)
LALD wins 11-6
That's good, but your vote won't count if there are no scores connected.
Title Track: LALD (one of the best IMO)
Title Credits: TND
Main Villain: LALD (Kananga/Bigg is a work of art)
Main Bond Girl: LALD (not even close)

*Benign Bizarre: LALD (lots of crazies)
Suspense: LALD (crocs in particular & Bond about to get his pinky cut off)
Minor Characters: LALD (very eccentric - i.e. JW, Billy Bob etc.)
