The greatest "Star Wars" movie vs. the coolest James Bond movie. To be honest, I don't think I would have cared too much for "Star Wars" had "Empire" not been so captivating. On the other hand, how does a Bond fan not pick "Goldfinger?"

There are about five Bond movies that I would rank higher than any of the Star Wars movies. Goldfinger is my least favorite of my favorite Bond movies, but I'd rather watch it over The Empire Strikes Back. The original Star Wars flicks exist in a sort of limbo between my childhood and adult movie tastes, so the Bond movies have a more contemporary appeal in general.

Four words: "I am your father". Done and done.

As much as i like James Bond, he just cannot compete with the mighty Star Wars.

Well, both need a re-watch, but Goldfinger for now.
