Both are good but it's kinda apples(Bond/villain confrontation) vs. oranges(Bond/Bond girl love scene) for me. I'll go with

Great question. Think I'm going to go with GOLDFINGER, although the chess match in FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE is truly a masterpiece.

Better villain's death: Auric Goldfinger or Gustav Graves? (similar I know...)

Thanks.

Hmmmm...that is a tough one. They're both really quick as well (especially Goldfinger's). I like the bad guys to realise they are about to die, but often their deaths are really really fast. I will say Graves' death because we see him go into the propeller and of course that means Icarus suddenly gets switched off.

Better scenery:-

Japan in YOLT

That is really tough, as I like both but I have to go with Bond and Melina in the sleigh ride in Cortina in FYEO, because it's one of my favourite scenes of any Bond film.
