Diamonds are Forever: 1067
Dr.No: 1055
Casino Royale: 1042
Tomorrow Never Dies: 1039
Thunderball: 979
The Man with the Golden Gun: 979
From Russia With Love: 962
Quantum of Solace: 915
Goldeneye: 905
You only live twice: 897
Live and let Die: 889
A View to a Kill: 879
The Spy Who Loved Me: 875
Goldfinger: 846
Die Another Day: 846
For Your Eyes Only: 764

    Good data @Zekidk, but I suggest you divide those values per total duration in minutes, so you will have weighted quantities of lines by minute and it'll become a controlled comparison.

    What a contrast of dialogue in Dalton's two! LTK all the way at #1 and TLD at third to last!

    A very interesting list. Thanks for compiling. I would have never guessed the order, so it's nice to be able to refer to this when watching the films again, to see if the two compare.
