    You are delushanal.

    It is a divorce settlement. You have a dvd player and a bluray player. Two films in each format.

    Who the f**k mentioned 'divorce' ????

    CR/SP casino is a masterpiece and spectre is a fun throwback bond film

    CR and SF are my top 2 at the moment. So that choice is easy.

    That's not the choice.
    Play by the rules or don't play.

    If that was the third choice, I'd go for that one too actually.

    CR + SP

    Theoretically speaking, if the two entries were wiped out, the emotional connection between Bond and M in SF would be largely lost without CR.

    That's probably the most logical way to answer this question for me, since the average rankings of the two sets are nearly identical.

    I'd rather sacrifice SF and keep CR to be honest. That's probably one of the best Bond films since the 60s.

    CR and ignore the rest of the movies.

    seems to be a clear case, CR/SP has beaten QOS/SF

    quite surprising even if it was (on purpose) a very difficult choice.

    Think its all down to CR! And i have a sneaky suspicion it may come top of the poll currently running!

    I expected CR/SP to win, but not by such a wide margin. I'm really surprised by how lopsided this was.

    I'd keep CR and SP. But while eradicating QoS and Skyfall out of existence, my heart would weep for the loss of QoS. *sniff* Rest in peace, Quantum of Solace, for I never really got to know you.

    Honestly, this question could have been CR or QOS/SF/SP and it would likely get a similar response. That's no slight to any one of those films. CR is just very important for the franchise and Craig era as a whole.

    The outcome really isn't that big of a surprise considering Casino Royale is the only universally revered of Craig's films.

    You're right. I never thought about that until now.

    You could change the pairings but I'd always choose CR. (Even though I don't like QOS and quite like SF).

    It would be an even more difficult choice but I'd still go with the trio of QoS/SF/SP over CR in that hypothetical instance.

    QoS and SF have such rewatch value for me and brilliant though CR is, I don't watch it much, although it does go in the player on special occasions.

    My sentiments exactly.

    QOS & SP wore out my last BR player.

    I hear ya. Plus, it's 3 films vs 1.

    The reason why I'd go with CR is because his hypothetical here means the other choice would no longer exist. I think the quality matters the most because this is what the films would look like:

    Sequel to a movie that you can't watch the foundation for, basically losing out on the best moments of the film since they have no connection.

    Skyfall suddenly seems overly introspective and emotional because we no longer have the story where he acquires his scars and grows through the nurturing of Judi Dench's M.

    Spectre seems even more like a QOS clone because the background threads they so heavily rely on become pretty hollow (I already think they are pretty empty).

    I just can't imagine Bond without the Miami International scene introducing post-9/11 Bond, the poker game against Le Chiffre, and Bond's rise and fall through the love and loss of Vesper.
