I've always thought "Beyond Reality" would make a good title. Oh, and I really think the title of my Bond novel that I'm currently writing is incredible...but I won't say what it is

Actually "Beyond Reality" "Better Late Than Never" and "Better Late Than Dead" were all originally working titles for my novel until I decided on something else but I think those three would make great movie titles.

DEATH FOR BREAKFAST

Many of these seem to come from non-native English speakers and, while I applaud your efforts, most of these are really cheesy. The only ones I can see working are those which came from Fleming. Even the others they've used on existing Bond films haven't always worked to me i.e. on any other but a Bond film, 'Die Another Day' would have been rejected as far too naff a title.

[EyesOnly]

"Heart of Ice"


"Revenge is a dish best served cold

[Skudor]

[insert villain name here] - doesn't seem like they've done that for a long time, oh, since Goldfinger. Dr No and Goldfinger are great titles.... let's do something like that again.

I like the idea brought up concerning having the Bond theme for Casino Royale being A Whisper of Love and then titling the theme for Bond 22 A Whisper of Hate. The 'love' being about Bond falling in love with Vesper then the 'hate' being about Bond being the stoic badass and revenge and such cold topics. It could make quite the interesting connection if Craig's Bond films are to be some form of story arc; his films aren't just connected but his themes are as well.

Concerning titles, I love The Undertaker's Wind and The Eye That Never Sleeps; as a matter of fact, all of Fleming's chapter titles are inspired choices.

[Harmsway]

Yes it is Harmsway....but you can't tell me that some of the other Fleming titles aren't cliche either!

Umm, not THAT cliche, and usually Fleming took cliches and twisted them and turned them into something original (for example, "You Only Live Once" becomes "You Only Live Twice"). Your suggested title, "Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Cold" just living the cliche as is, and a cliche that's been used by far, far too many things.

[EyesOnly]

Twist it and turn it...and could possibly be a decent title, eh?

Yeah, if it could be cleverly reinvented, perhaps. It's still way too overlong, though.

[Agent 76]

NEVER LOOK BEHIND

ENEMY FROM THE COLD

[Stephen Spotswood]

A Kiss Before Dying.

Or has that already been used?

[Red Barchetta]

Death Becomes You

or

One Life To Lose

[Stephen Spotswood]

I just found out A Kiss Before Dying has already been used. So how about A Hump Before Dying? Or maybe A Good Day To Die could be a title.

[Gabe Vieira]

Okay. Here is a new idea for a title that I'm pretty sure no one has yet suggested.

Quintessance of Dust

I really like it. Not an original Fleming creation, but it very much sounds so and is really Bondian, I think. The title comes from Hamlet when the title character reveals the depth of his depression and foreshadows his own suicide. Anyone else like it?

[Publius]

Going by titles alone (having not read the novels, Fleming or otherwise):

The Property Of A Lady (good way to describe Bond...sometimes)
Risico (short but sweet, and has international appeal)
Colonel Sun (villain titles need to make a comeback)
Icebreaker (another good way to describe Bond)
Role Of Honour (the whole British vs. American spelling thing again...)
Nobody Lives Forever (title song might sound like "Nobody Does It Better")
Win, Lose, or Die (when we want to go back to beating the life/death theme)

Mine is original (i hope)
