    - Quality of Blu-ray picture and sound

    I have a question or 2 before the poll starts. What is benign bizarre? What is colour coding - is that the colour palette used?

    @Perilagu_Khan's phrase, Benign Bizarre - *This is a term I coined to describe that critical element of the Bond world, going all the way back to Ian Fleming, wherein the reader/viewer is confronted by the bizarre, the otherworldly or the creepy. The Benign Bizarre, however, never veers into the grotesque. This element takes us almost to the edge of the horror or sci-fi genres, but dissipates before it can define the book or film in which it appears.

    Colour coding as I understand means what colour filters are used in scenes to make something "cold" or "warm". For instance, horror movies seem to use the colour blue excessively.

    In Spectre, the PTS is very brownish overall. They used colour filters for sure.

    It defines 'Bond' for me.

    We could also separate them by type of Bond

    The best for action
    The best for an over the top big budget Bond film
    The best for realism or for fans who want a more serious thriller
    The best for everyone who is looking for style
    The best for a good plot

    @BondJasonBond006
    I was about to vote in this poll, but first I wanted to ask you what the difference is between best action set pieces in the technical category and best action in the story/narrative categories.

    Action set pieces are for example the villain's lairs, or the Skyfall mansion, built locations where action scenes take place.

    Action is just meant in general. For example the PTS of Spectre, building collapsing, helicopter fight, or shoot outs etc.

    Just to unclear it up a bit.

    I suggested action set pieces, and what I meant was action. Perhaps either remove that one or rename it set design (though that wasn't what I was thinking of)

    @vzok

    Thank you for clearing that up, my mistake. I'll keep the "Action" and alter the "Action set pieces" into "Set Design".
