It's Licence to Kill.
They're both good, but I give the edge to TLD....

Interesting choice, Ass_E9 —and a difficult one, too, for I like both of the Dalton Bond pictures. With that said, though, I’ll go for Licence to Kill. Partially because I find it slightly better-paced, partially because, as a fan of Ian Fleming’s original books, I appreciate how it incorporates elements from Live and Let Die (the book, not the very different movie) and “The Hildebrand Rarity.” |

This is a really tough question
My lifelong answer was Licence, but then 7 or 8 years ago I stopped just watching my favorites and realized that Daylights is a really badass Bond film. It often goes overlooked but Dalton is fantastic in it. That's probably the film that makes me wish we'd had another 2 Dalton films to enjoy. But Licence still has such a unique premise. It's the one true rogue Bond film and it's glorious at every turn, including the somewhat unique high level of violence. |

I much prefer the Living daylights. Much more fun. License to Kill was too violent and very short on humour.

The Living Daylights
Licence to Kill reminded me of a bad episode of Miami Vice when it was released, but it has aged well and when I re-watched it recently it's better than I remember. Still prefer Dalton's first effort and I think he's unfairly blasted; given some good scripts I think he'd have made a fine Bond.

Both would be in my top 3, but I give the edge to "The Living Daylights".

I prefer The Living Daylights. Nevertheless, Licence to Kill was tailor-made for Dalton and showcases a better, more memorable villain and has some violently entertaining action set pieces.

The Living Daylights is fucking boring. I can't agree with you there. After Octopussy and A View to a Kill, it was refreshingly to watch a grounded, somewhat realistic Bond film with espionage. While the villain scheme is for Bond to figure out for two hours (and a rather complicated one at that), there are several highlights in the film that keep it from being boring: Timothy Dalton's performance, the pre-titles sequence, Necros's attack on the safehouse, Bond's tense confrontation of General Pushkin, and Bond's fight with Necros on the plane. Probably because I read the actual Bond novels by Ian Fleming, I appreciate the film more since Albert R. Broccoli wanted the series back to its original roots when Dalton was Bond. |

LtK, but TLD is also good. TD (closest to JB,007) is second only to SC.

You spelled Licence wrong. You used the American version. And you call yourself a Bond fan? Pish Posh!! lol |

Last time I tried to watch TLD I turned it off after 40 minutes, it was terrible. I barely remember anything about LTK.

Licence to Kill for me. Robert Davi is truly menacing as Sanchez. The decompression chamber death used to freak me out as a kid. For the particular Bond that film requires, Dalton plays it superbly.
LTK does feel quite a lot more like an action movie than a standard Bond movie, but perhaps that's why I like it so much.

LTK. Both are good, though. Can't believe how underrated Dalton's movies are.

Not only does it feel like an action movie, it specifically feels like a late '80s action movie (small wonder), which is a particularly good vintage to me. I think I have a slight preference for Licence to Kill over Living Daylights, for that reason. |

I prefer TLD. I liked the Cold War plot. I liked the humour as well, where Bond and Kara Milovy, cross the Austrian border on a cello case. I liked the irritated look on Bond's face, when Kara makes him go back for her cello.
LTK is just a movie length episode of Miami Vice. The OTT violence is too much for a Bond film. It makes it seem like a generic actioner and because of the violence, it pushed the age certificate to a 15, alienating most of the audience.
