Naomi. The shapely Caroline Munro was stunning (also in Captain Kronos and the Sinbad movie too); Anya looked like she had a thyroid problem with her bulging eyes.

Charming, Colossus. But since TSPLM was the first Bond film I ever saw, Barbara Bach will always have special place in my memory. I think she was stunning and one of the best Bond girls ever. Concerning Caroline Munro... well, she always captured my imagination, too. Especially since I knew her from the masterpiece "Star Crash" where her costume was almost as revealing as her acting.

Gee, why am I talking like a sexist. On a Bond message board...

Naomi, followed by Valerie Leon, then Barbara Bach.

Since this is a Bond board, I say I'd take them both at the same time.

Tough choice. Barbara Bach is my second favorite (main) Bond girl but I'm afraid I'll have to go with Caroline Munro. You got to love that flirtatious wink she gives Bond while chasing him in the helicopter. And when she hops out of that speedboat in that nice little nothing bikini she's almost wearing, it's a sight to behold. To quote Roger Moore: "What a handsome craft--such lovely lines."

Naomi AND Anya, if I had my way!

But if I was pressed, I'd pick Naomi.

Exactly.

Sad she was disposed of so quickly, but at the same time, she didn't wear out her welcome either. Still, I'd rather stare at her for much of the movie than, say, May Day.

IMHO, she's better-looking than Anya, but I didn't get a lot out of her as a character. The wink is great, yes, but otherwise she just seemed to me to be a particularily attractive henchwoman. Give me Solitare any day. Please. :tup:

Anya, without hesitation. After seeing her in the black dress with the silver lining and then soaking wet in the end ..ooh.. - game over.

Anya hands down. She's always been my fave Moore leading lady. I do love Caroline Munro in Dracula AD 1972, though!

Anya is better when wet ( Read - in the climax. Oops Read - when she goes down in Stromberg's Atlantis. Pardon my dirty mind). But Caroline is also cool in Sinbad.

Anya. One of the best Bond girls, she was so stunningly beautiful and the clothes they gave her, well... Naomi was ok, but IMO she wore way too much make-up and she seemed to have too much of a red face. Still, she is one sexy lady but I'd prefer Anya out of the two.

Watch Caroline in Captain Kronos, just a peasant girl, still stunning..
She could act better than Barbara too.

Have to applaud the support of Rosamund Pike, but I still like both the roles of Anya and Naomi in The Spy Who Loved Me too.

Naomi, all the way. I've been a big fan of Caroline Munro since I first saw her in At The Earth's Core. I posted an earlier thread stating how I wished she and Miss Bach had exchanged roles in TSWLM:
