Ha! The original and the remake in one fell swoop. Gotta go with the original.

Usually, the original is much better than the remake. In this case, though, it's the exact opposite. Never Say Never Again is so much better in almost every category; Brandauer is a much more charismatic villain than Celi; Basinger is a better actress than Auger; even Sean Connery gives a more memorable performance in Never Say Never Again. Also, I have always found Thunderball to be relatively boring, while Never Say Never Again is probably one of the most entertaining Bond movies. Gotta love the 80s style!

To be honest, I don't care for either film all that much. I have to go with NSNA too. At least the pacing is much better than the drowsy Thunderball.
