Nice fan fiction. Other than that, none of the previous movies are connected to Casino Royale.
DAF can go. I've always hated the ambiguity of Blofeld's "death." Blofeld escaping in YOLT, yes, but Bond sloppily not finishing off his archenemy? Awful!
TMWTGG can go. I know people love Christopher Lee, but the plot makes no sense. The best shot in the world needs to kill people via a rigged fun house? And the second "golden gun"? Ugh... The original novel should be adapted to film someday.
I'm tempted to let TND go, but the Paris character gives Brosnan's Bond a sorely needed dimension. It can stay.
DAD must go. It adds nothing to the franchise.
DAF for being a horrible followup
MR can stay if the space sequence is dropped
AVTAK has too much wrong with it to salvage
TND is more about action than about Bond
DAD for, well you fill in the blanks
I don't view us as hypocritical in the least. Because we want better things for the series by eradicating the bad eggs doesn't mean we are blasphemous. Granted, some people like MR and YOLT and even DAF, but there is an overall majority vote on films that fans want taken out. Among them are usually MR, YOLT, DAF, and DAD. I mean, the fact that all of us took the time to post and discuss in this thread shows our love for Bond, even when a few of the films leave a sour taste. Just because I feel this way doesn't mean I hate the franchise. You have to examine all the bad eggs to appreciate the shining golden eggs after all.
but what about others like goldfinger and TSWLM that some of you are suggesting, I think overall they would be among the most popular films and in a public poll/majority vote would be no where near the bottom
We've had 22 of them now and with six different actors in the role. Bond films and actors will be here to stay, we may not like everything that happened at some time or another but at the end of the day there won't be much anybody can do about it. Erasing any titles from the series may seem unforgivable to some and necessary to others. It's good to see there are those who treat the franchise as sacrosanct and others who feel tossing one or two of them into the trash on the way out wouldn't do any harm whatsoever
It's been a good thread this
You can't take that away...*Sniff* :(
-Goldfinger
-You Only Live Twice
-On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Hahaha, it's all right, I'm already in danger of TheWizardofIce inflicting his wrath upon me for OHMSS!
Woah, the ominous underdwellings of the MI6 Community come forth with a vengeance! >:)

Toss OHMSS, and you also have to toss TSWLM, FYEO, and LTK.
Why?

They refer to OHMSS. Also, arguably, LALD.
Drop GF, YOLT, OHMSS and DAF but NOT GE, TND, TWINE and DAD?! Wow! That's amazing! Each to their own of course but it's incredibly hard for me to fathom how anyone could think that the horrible Brosnan films, or atleast his last three are better than some of Connery's films and the fantastic OHMSS!
I'd drop all the Brosnan films with maybe the exception of GE and I'd also say farewell to QOS. Every other film I'd keep as I like them all for different reasons. After the Brosnan flicks and QOS, DAF is my least favourite but I wouldn't go so far as to drop it. I like the scenes with MR Wint and Mr Kidd and with Bond and Tiffany in her apartment along with certain other scenes.
I must say too that an OHMSS with a lean Connery around the age he was in Dr No and FRWL would be very tempting...
AVTAK,TWINE,TND,DAF and DAD
If I had that godly power of wiping out some films from existance, it would be heartbreaking. I consider myself a true Bond fan and would defend even the average films against the negative comments of some non-Bond fans. Why? because I love that whole universe. So some films which are low in my list, still have some good scenes, or characters or even heck! a good title song. Not every entry can be perfect, so I would leave the series just as it is. Would I take out some scenes or characters? well, that would be another story.
Why drop all the Brosnan films??? He was a good bond imo
ಠ_ಠ.... Ok, let me just take this in.....
Many of the other bond films have little bits I'd change, but the world is still a better place for them existing :-)
Why do you want to lose that fight, it's one of the most well - choreographed hand to hand combat scenes in the entire franchise!
You misunderstood me. I meant LEAVE IN that scene but take out the rest (or at least most of) DAF
