    Actually in the hypothetical scenario, aliens will destroy all evidence of two of these films, so while you wouldn't be able to watch those films ever again you would at least have seen them before and would still have their context. ;)

    Regardless, I enjoy QoS and SF perfectly well apart from Casino Royale. To be honest, the relationship between Dench's M and Craig's Bond never really resonated much for me to begin with, so the death of M in SF was never a big selling point for the film for me.

    Bringing this forward to the next page:

    It's an interesting result for sure, I want to add that it's not about winning or losing, it's just an interesting way to see how people would decide if forced between two difficult choices.

    Option 1: CR/SP (23 votes)
    Option 2: QOS/SF (6 votes)

    Personally I would vote for CR/SP as well for the obvious reason that SP is my No 1 and CR my No 5 in my ranking.

    I will go forward to the next "impossible" choice in a day or so. Anyone care to add a vote?

    And thank you all for participating.

    CR was the best Bond film since TLD, and before that, OHMSS. None of Craig's others come close. Easy choice: CR over any combination of Craig's other films.

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

    It might be one of the better Craig films, but it is absolutely not universally loved. No Bond film is, let's be honest, not even Goldfinger.

    Lol, okay technically nothing in the history of the universe ever has been or ever will be "universally revered." I didn't mean to imply that literally every person on the planet reveres Casino Royale. Just that a great majority of Bond fans clearly hold the film in high regard, whereas the same cannot be said of QOS, SF or SP.

    Correct. CR is universally loved which means a great majority will praise the movie. The only one in the Craig era.

    CHOOSE ONE OF TWO OPTIONS and explain your decision if you like.

    This time: Choose between keeping either:
    DN and GF and YOLT
    ...or...
    FRWL and TB and DAF

    Imagine you could only watch one set of films and the other set never ever again.
  • bondjamesbondjames You were expecting someone else?

    Easy choice for me.

    FRWL, TB & DAF for the win.

    I've never been a fan of GF. YOLT is decent enough but I have more fun with DAF. FRWL & TB are my #1 and #2 respectively.

    If I were holding FRWL, TB, DAF in one hand, and DN, GF, YOLT in the other, and I were standing directly over an incinerator, let me tell you what I would do...

    I WOULD DROP FRWL AND GF LIKE AN UGLY BABY!!

    Both stone cold classics, but nothing comes between me and my copy of Dr No. No's before hoes, as they say!! B-)

    FRWL, TB, DAF. 2 of those 3 are top 10 for me.

    DN and GF and YOLT, definitely. I do not care for DAF.

    DN is a total fave, GF is classic & YOLT has Helga & Aki. A no-brainer for me. :D

    DN - GF - YOLT , simply because each of these film is my favorite over rest of the Connery's.

    1. GF
    2. DN
    3. YOLT
    4. TB
    5. FRWL
    6. DAF

    Easy. FRWL, TB and DAF. I would miss DN but that trio is great and couldn't be more different.

    DN, GF, YOLT

    The first three is still the best stretch of three films in the series. This way I get to keep two of those.

    A very difficult choice, but I'm going to have to go with FRWL, TB and DAF.

    FRWL is my favorite, so right off the bat I would be hard pressed to go with any combination that didn't include it. As far as TB goes, I can't say that I rank it as highly as some of you, but I find it to be an enjoyable experience overall. And DAF can be an absolute hoot if I'm in the mood for it. Also, as @w2bond pointed out, it's just a great variety.

    I would certainly miss DN and GF, two absolute classics. These aliens of yours are pretty cruel, Jason. It will be interesting to see how you divide up the Moore era.

    When are these aliens arriving? I hear maybe within a year.

    FRWL, TB, DAF. Although I would greatly miss GF.

    FRWL-TB-DAF
    It has to be any selection that includes FRWL. Even though TB isn't high ranking for me and DAF is near the bottom. FRWL is my favourite bond film - I'd say that along with CR it is essential for me. Those two above all others will always win. But DN and GF are easy top ten for me. And YOLT lower middle. So I think rewatching on pure numerical terms DN, GF and YOLT would easily beat TB and DAF by a long way. But FRWL is my number one - gotta go for it.

    A tricky one alright! I think I'd have to go with
    FRWL-TB-DAF
    Its really DAF vs YOLT for me, and though I always thought the former the weakest of Connerys, I think it deserves reassessment, the last time I watched YOLT, I got rather bored!

    Yes, it's funny how TB, YOLT and MR are some of the wackiest, most OTT films, but they are also among the slowest paced.

    Just wanted to pop in and say you're a despicable human being @BondJasonBond006. What a heinous act to perform, asking others to pick between DN/GF or FRWL/TB, leaving either the former or latter behind forever.

    I would soon volunteer for death by fire than make this choice.
  • ThunderfingerThunderfinger Das Boot Hill

    Yes, that is the third alternative.

    I'd keep FRWL/TB and DAF.

    That train fight is far too valuable to lose.

    TB also looks beautiful.

    For mine, DN/GF/YOLT, as Dr No is my favourite of the six and the other two are both great fun and highly rewatchable.
