I think Thunderball is fundamentally the better film - Domino is one of my top three Bond girls (tied with Honey Ryder, but behind Tracy di Vicenzo), the villain is great, and the film on the whole is generally very well-made. However, I just find You Only Live Twice more entertaining. My favourite Bond villains are nearly always the more serious ones (Trevelyan, Sanchez, etc.) but I am a fan of the less plausible ones as well, so I did like Blofeld's somewhat ridiculous appearance. Kissy isn't one of my favourites by a long shot but the setting and a lot of the scenarios in general wowed me, whereas as some people have already said, Thunderball is a bit... well, definitely not boring, but it just doesn't feel very ambitious.

Unsurprisingly I go for THUNDERBALL. It has a classier feel & better story. By contrast YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE just feels zany & too OTT.
