we are doing it in both places because we are bored

There's nothing wrong with enjoying that stuff but to claim that era isn't largely defined by pastiche is to not understand what it is.
Agreed. The "best Bond film ever" is the exact opposite of what it'd seem people would want for Bond 25 and the future of Bond:
-No emotional plot, a standalone mission for 007.
-Bond not romantically involved with any of the three girls.
-Bond ends up making out with the leading girl (aka "a happy ending").
-The villain has nothing personal with 007, he wants to kill him just because he's messing with his plan.
-It has quite a lot of gadgets, namely in the Aston Martin DB5.
-There's a lot of humour, with Bond making the fool of himself (Bond vs. Oddjob fight, he wins at the nick of time and when he finds an opportunity to kill him).
-Main title theme and score are extremely jazzy and bombastic.
-None of the situations Bond experiences makes him flinch or getting down (well, maybe after Till and Jilly's death, but just a little bit), he's the same cocky ace secret agent as ever.
DN, FRWL or Thunderball are darker, more thrilling and violent adventures than the Moore era overall, but Goldfinger is not that far of the Moore humour. In the end, it follows the Guy Hamilton formula of "give Bond a bunch of girls who are hot, place exotic locations here and there, etc".

To add to this, I'd want Bond to not be a rouge agent this time, reassuring the audience that Bond is a professional spy and won't go off on his own. Bond's interactions with M, Moneypenny, and Q should be limited to receiving his mission task, flirting with Moneypenny, and getting relevant gadgets. Doesn't need to have more than that out of the Scooby gang.

I concur @NicNac. Plus France like many other overseas countries doesn’t always use the English title or translation to sell the movie to begin with. For instance The Living Daylights was called Tuer n’est pas jouer which translates as Death Is Not A Game.
I love the title the Italian gave to DAD: Death can wait.
That's much better !
Agreed.

Yes exactly. I like it also because it reminds me of Ernst Lubitsch masterpiece Heaven Can Wait.
Italy had quite some titles translated differently:
DN - Licence to Kill
DAF - A Waterfall of Diamonds
AVTAK - Moving Target*
TLD - Danger Zone
LTK - Private Revenge
DAD - Death Can Wait
*That’s why in SF when Bond says to Moneypenny that a moving target is more difficult to hit felt like an homage to AVTAK, which came just a few minutes before the For her eyes only bit.
Back in 2012 when I first watched Skyfall I thought Moving Target was a reference to AVTAK's Italian title, but then it occured me it had to be a coincidence because the English title could not fit in the original dialogue. :D
I'll be honest, I like Private Revenge much more than LTK, it makes more sense in the context of the movie. Licence Revoked also would have been a cool title. Yet I like LTK more than Dr. No :P

In Germany THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS became DER HAUCH DES TODES, what either translates as THE BREATH OF DEATH (featuring a villain who eats a lot of garlic and onions to knock Bond unconscious) or THE ODOUR OF DEATH. But BREATH would be more accurate. Or more likely THE BREEZE OF DEATH.
That's really cool indeed!

Why would it be a joke? Bond driving the electric Aston Martin that looks nearly identical to the modern Astons that appeared in the recent films is a very plausible scenario.Sorry, not being English... you know.
