    At least two titles with kill, live or No. OHMSS is the only title with completely different words?

    Would you not say live and living are different words?

    On a similar idea though, it could be OHMSS because all the others have at least one word that is used in another Bond title, OHMSS doesn’t.

    Alternately, could be NTTD as that’s the only title that has two words also used in other Bond titles (I think?)

    It is none of the above.

    I reckon I need to search out a Bond for Beginners quiz thread! 😂😇

    I’ll keep thinking! 👍

    All movies are the first or the last movie of a Bond actor. OHMSS is both at the same time. OHMSS is the ooo?

    Good thinking, but it is not that.

    All are Bond films with Fleming titles and have Fleming story content, excepting NTTD.

    True, but it has nothing to do with the titles.

    NTTD features a 007 but this time it is a woman.

    It has nothing to do with 007.

    I might be incorrect but what the hell, nothing ventured nothing gained. NTTD is the only one without any involvement of John Glen? Course I am not sure Glen had any role in DN or LALD.

    He did not.

    Let me also remind everyone that these seven films all have something in common.

    All films have an aspect of Doctor's in them. However TLD is odd one out as the Doctor in that film is fake as it's Koskov pretending to be a doctor?

    Very good, but incorrect.

    All have an angle of drugs within them.

    DN is odd one out as it's the only one where Bond directly drugged by the villain?

    DN drugged with coffee
    OHMSS drugs with the angels of death
    LALD heroin with Mr Big
    TLD the opium with Koskov
    LTK the cocaine of Sanchez
    NTTD the germ warfare angle of the plot

    Another good suggestion, but not what I have in mind. It does not revolve around the plot.

    A hint would be appreciated.

    All right, it has to do with people.

    All films Bond has an ally. In all but one that ally is either Felix or CIA. All except OHMSS where the ally is a fellow Mi6 agent. Therefore OHMSS is odd one out.

    Not quite my thinking.

    All have two producers. One of them was always a Broccoli. Only in NTTD it is the next generation of the Broccolis: Barbara.

    Presumably I will be off base with this one but here it goes anyway! LOL!

    All have M featured outside his office. However only DN features M only in his office. So DN is odd one out for this reason.

    Not that. The films mentioned have something more exclusively in common, but one of them is still different from the others.

    DN, OHMSS, LALD, AVTAK, TLD, LTK, NTTD.

    Think, folks! Think!

    Let me add that you need a little background info, just seeing the films won t solve it.

    All came from the works of Ian Fleming, except for NTTD.

    I'm stumped. Your two clues are:

    It involves people and doesn't have anything to do with the plot
    It involves some background info that you won't find the answer just watching the films?

    All the films are either the start of one Bond or the swan song for a Bond. Only OHMSS is both? So therefore OHMSS is odd one out?

    Has been guessed already. Plus, that isn t exclusive for these films. Neither is the suggestion above.

    Oh I didn't know that the fact was only true of these films. Okay I may have to take a pass then.

    We could need another thought-provoking impulse...

    This is strictly about the actors... two of them have something in common while playing James Bond (hint/hypothesis: I suspect future James Bond actors will also have this in common):

    Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig

    Does this mean people give up? It really isn t anything obscure or very hard.

    These films have something exclusively in common, but one of them is still different from the others.

    DN, OHMSS, LALD, AVTAK, TLD, LTK, NTTD.

    Hint: It is about people in front of the camera.
