"I *love* this matchup. Arguably these are the two films in the entire series that best capture Fleming's vision. They're also (for my money, anyway) based on the two best Bond novels.

Either one could have a reasonable shot at unseating Goldfinger in the finals.

I'm stumping for FRWL. Think about it: Blofeld feeding the Siamese Fighting Fish to his cat; Klebb's creepy interview of Tania; the scene where Grant shadows Bond on the train; the ferocity of their struggle in the berth; the execution of Kronsteen. Pedro Armendariz, Lotte Lenya, Robert Shaw, Daniela Bianchi... and the first appearance of Desmond Llewelyn. This is the one."

"I am personally voting for Casino Royale. It gives a very acurate representatiohn of what Bond should be like. "
