For Your Eyes Only eliminated

Edit: sorry for forgetting the deduction. Trying to retroactively set things right. Sorry again!

 

[George Lazenby]

The last two posters forgot to deduct and add their points, respectively. For Your Eyes Only has now been eliminated and Thunderball actually stands at 5. This is going to get interesting now because all the movies left are unquestionably good.

And, the real game begins!

 

[ThrawnZA]

While I think the Connery films are all great (I think it speaks volumes that not one has been eliminated), it's time to start choosing between them. Damn!

Interestingly, Roger Moore is the Bond that's lost out the most, losing 6 out of 7 films.

Summary of the stats:

Connery: 0 out of 6 eliminated
Lazenby: 0 out of 1 eliminated
Moore: 6 out of 7 eliminated
Dalton: 1 out of 2 eliminated
Brosnan: 2 out of 4 eliminated
Craig: 0 out of 1 eliminated

Lazenby and Craig are kind of difficult to place, seeing as both only made one film. Anyways, statistically speaking, the next to go should be The Spy Who Loved Me.

 

[George Lazenby]

Personally I would let go of License to Kill next, but that speaks more of my own distaste for Dalton than anything. While I love Connery I would let go of YOLT before TSWLM (funny that the latter is basically a remake of the former, in fact the original script had Blofeld as the villain but there were litigation issues with the eventual makers of NSNA over the rights to the name) simply because I find myself put off by Connery's very evident boredom in that movie, whereas TSWLM is unquestionably Moore's best performance. I was never a huge Brosnan fan, though I like him more than Dalton (but not more than a bored (a la YOLT) or an aged, fat and humor inclined (a la DAF) Connery). Lastly, if I were president, the last 5 eliminated will be Connery's first 3, and Lazenby and Craig's 1, in some order.

Well, of the remaining Connery films, You Only Live Twice and Diamonds are Forever should be the first to go, IMHO. Further, in comparison with what remains, I think TSWLM would be my first choice to go, followed by YOLT and DAF. After that, I'd say the Brosnan's and LTK are likely candidates to leave. My top five would feature Connery's first 3, OHMSS and CR. I'm in two minds as to what should happen to Thunberball.

Well we agree on the top 5 it seems. I think Thunderball should be #6. It drags in parts but it has an excellent performance from Connery, a decent more-or-less believable plot, a wonderful score, beautiful women etc. etc. It really is a solid movie.

 

[Catman]

I think it speaks volumes that not one has been eliminated

That's cause Connery is da man!

statistically speaking, the next to go should be The Spy Who Loved Me.

Logically speaking...it won't! The Spy Who Loved Me is still considered one of the best. I think Tomorrow Never Dies will be the next to be eliminated. A lot of people here hate it. I don't know why. I think its Brosnan's 2nd best Bond film. It was a fun movie in the tradition of YOLT and TSWLM.

 

[ThrawnZA]

Strange, I'm not that fond of TSWLM. I'd rate both remaining Brosnan films higher.

Too each his own.

I think Goldfinger or From Russia With Love will come out on top. Both of those films are the best, if not THE best, in the series.

Dalton, Moore, Brosnan, Lazenby, and Craig all have their films, but nothing comes close to Goldfinger or From Russia With Love. Dr. No is also a great film, but it's somewhat of a paragon at this point in the series.

I'm not a fan of Moore at all. Though, He does have some decent offerings; Live and Let die; The Spy Who Loved Me; Octopussy.

Lazenby has the look but can't act very well. On Her Majesty's Secret Service is a film that has aged well with time.

Dalton is, probably, my all-time favorite Bond. The Living Daylights and Licence To Kill aren't very good movies; but Dalton's performance makes up for it, serious, cold and cruel -- a true Fleming's Bond.

Now, Brosnan. . . there's a guy who had some potential. Too bad he got lousy movies after Goldeneye. I think he combined everything the previous actors did on screen -- Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton -- and put it all into Goldeneye. Some people don't like Goldeneye (and don't like Brosnan all too much for that matter), but I think it's a darn good film in the series.

And now the battle begins. . .

 

[Catman]

Now, Brosnan, he combined everything the previous actors did on screen -- Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton -- and put it all into Goldeneye.

I'm glad someone agrees with me on this. Recently I had a debate with someone about this. The guy said Brosnan was a more serious Roger Moore. I disagreed. I think Brosnan did great cause he had a little bit of everyone.

 

[jimmy]

It's the truth. You cannot deny the Dalton influence!
