(edit: Kennon I just re-read your last sentence, so maybe my point doesn't apply to what you posted)
It would be a crime to drop any of those masterpieces!
Flight Into Space is the best piece of movie music I have ever heard.
The folks who think that omitting even one movie from the franchise is good are NO FANS at all imho. Anybody in favor of censorship is a grade A moron.
I think you are gonna suffer for that.
Who cares what they think if they want to lose a 007 movie from the franchise. I do not like Dalton and QoS but they have their place and use in the franchise.
OHMSS
DAF
TMWTGG
AVTAK
GE, TND, TWINE, DAD cause imo the actor as much as i loved him before he becomes Bond dont fit in the role.
I like OHMSS but it should have been with Connery.
Cant understand why sb wants to drop GF?
Further i would drop QOS and make CR less violent, Bons's a smart Killer if he has to.
I cant really get close to OP (to much silly jokes), DAF, TLD.
Thats mo
MR
DAD
ones I wouldn't dare to remove though include -Casino Royale (2006) FRWL, DR.NO
Now there's an idea -
I myself would drop, and going from decades onwards-
Drop Goldfinger from a standing position
Drop Diamonds are Forever from the window of a monster pick up
Drop a View to a Kill from the roof of the Legg Mason building
Drop Tomorrow Never Dies from the roof of the Empire State Building
Drop Die Another Day from the top of Mount Everest (on a very cold day)
Yes, I'd be content enough with that
Maybe it's late and I'm tired but that's how I feel about it right now
Ohhh...you've done it now...
The ropes are tied perfectly, and ready for execution.
Remember what happened to the last CR haters?
They wiggled for a looooong time. >:)
But lets face it, bond in most simplistic terms as M mentioned is a "blunt instrument". A legal hitman hired by the British government under MI6 With a license to kill. I really get bedazzled ans quite angry when I here a scene where bond shoots a enemy in cold blood would be inappropriate. Don't get me wrong now, bond just cant shoot anybody, but if tge circumstances are rught and The enemy as un this case happens to be goldfinger, I see nothing wrong with it because goldfinger was a BAD BAD BAD VERY BAD BAD MAN.
Why would anyone leave out the best parts? CR or FRWL I could do without though.
I think Brosnan is the worse Bond (for a number of reasons) possibly excluding Lazenby. Then there's the horrible dialogue in these films and too much action. With the exception of maybe GE, the Brosnan films just seem so generic to me. There too formulaic with no real substance.
Simply because the franchise is a varied and ever changing animal offering laughs and tears, breath-taking action and moments of reflection, hard boiled violence and double taking pigeons.
How can we possibly want a single minute removed, because it would upset the balance of a diverse collection of films that make up a quite remarkable cannon?
Eon have acknowledged mistakes and learned by them. They have moved on, changed the shape of the next film and taken Bond in a different direction. We can see it all unravel in front of us, and we can understand and appreciate why they do what they do.
The secret to Eon's success? Not to take a blind bit of notice of the Bond fanatics - us. Because if they listened to us the series would be dead in the water within a few years, as we demand period peice Bond dramas or the return of a 60 something Timothy Dalton, or a Bond film akin to a John Le Carre novel.
Eon aim for the mass market, make the films for the cinema-going audience. And guess what? We still remain fans, chuntering and complaining but still buying the tickets (more than once of course). They know that. Bond will survive because we the true fans can never agree about what we want so Eon do the right thing - ignore us.
A View to a Kill
The World is Not Enough
Die Another Day
Ones I would fight tooth and nail to not be removed would be:
DN
FRWL
TB
OHMSS
OP
TLD
LTK
and possibly CR
