I don't know i would either make Die Another Day or Quantum of Solace.

Die Another Day reason: was a great movie till halle Berry showed up and the futuristic stuff turned the movie to crap.


Quantum of Solace reason: It was an all around good movie, but was made too fast and story didnt fallow correctly with Casino Royale at all.

[Cruiserweight]

I don't want to lose any of the Bond films so i wouldn't erase any.

[coco1997]

Even though I like some things about AVTAK, I'd rather "Octopussy", a much more enjoyable and respectable entry in the franchise, go down in history as Roger's swan song.

Having said that, I'd probably still keep it.

[Double-Oh Agent]

I wouldn't make any Bond film vanish. However, I would erase one scene from the series--specifically the death of Rene Mathis in Quantum Of Solace. It is by far the worst scene in the series, the lowlight being 007 acting completely out of character in his callous treatment of his good friend. It should be eliminated from existence.

[SecretAgentFan]

I´d actually want them to have made more!

A second Lazenby film

A third Dalton film.

A fifth Brosnan film.

Vanish? None. Not even NSNA.

[Donovan Mayne-Nicholls]

This whole thread is a bummer. You guys are nuking my childhood memories left and right. I wouldn't erase any Bond film because while there are a few I don't like as much, every Bond film is an important part of the series' history and someone somewhere is fond of it and enjoys it and has nice memories of it. Why would I want to be so selfish as to "erase" someone's favorite movie just because it's not my cup of tea?

Yeah. I'm not a big fan of LALD but to completely erase a film from existence should be reserved for unredeemable bad movies. If you consider any of the Bonds as such, you should also be evaluating your permanence in this forum.
That said, I wouldn't wish NSNA upon my worst enemy.

[O.H.M.S.S.]

I can only think of one Bond film which I did not like: Die Another Day.

(Casino Royale and Never Say Never Again don't bother me at all, I'd rather make Tomorrow Never Dies disappear instead of the unofficial entries, wouldn't want to get rid of top actors like Niven, Sellers, Welles, Allen, Belmondo, Sheybal, Connery, von Sydow, Brandauer, Fox, ...)

[DCI_director]

For me, it would be Quantum of Solace. Oh if i had that power!

[jaguar007]

I would make certain changes to the Bond films, but not eliminate any of them, not even 67CR, because without it, we would not have that wonderful musical score.

[Colossus]

I'd send Quantum of Solace to the gulags, then wipe it out from all photos and records.

[Aris007]

I wouldn't erase any of them. Every film even the bad ones have a special beauty.

[bondrules]

The question at hand is senseless.

But If granted, I would vanish A Bond. Bond #5. Wipe him out of history.

[Jose]

If I could make a Bond film vanish, people would hate me.
I wouldn't make any vanish. I'd keep them, even as they are. Granted, if given the opportunity to make some changes here and there, I can think of a few things that come to mind.

[jamie00007]

Die Another Day. It actually made me lose interest in the whole series for a while. Wasnt until I started buying the Special Edition DVDs of the old films that my interest in 007 was re-ignited.

[DR76]

GOLDFINGER, THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN and DOCTOR NO would not exist.

[Safari Suit]

I wonder how many people saying they would make certain Bond films vanish from existence haven't actually made them vanish from their own collections...

Good question. I am a completist in every sense of the word. Happily, I wouldn't even want to make my least favourite (DAD) vanish, as I find it to be mediocre, but not abominable (I'll leave that description for Transformers or Pearl Harbour and all the like).

[SecretAgentFan]

GOLDFINGER, THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN and DOCTOR NO would not exist.

[O.H.M.S.S.]

GOLDFINGER, THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN and DOCTOR NO would not exist.

How come?

[elizabeth]

GOLDFINGER, THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN and DOCTOR NO would not exist.

How come?

yeah, those are the best ones!

[Prof. Numbers]

I wouldn't delete any of the old ones, because while some are bad, they are not truly awful. Die Another Day has got to be the worst film in the series, and I cringe any time I think of it.

That is pretty much my sentiment. With out the scenes,Quantum of Solace would probably still be my least favorite but I would still like it. With the scene, Quantum of Solace is the only Bond film that I do not like.

[Q's Tie Collection]

Anyone with the power to make a Bond film vanish is a menace to not only society, but to Her Majesty, and therefore should be hunted down with the best agent that MI6 can offer.

GOLDFINGER, THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN and DOCTOR NO would not exist.

WOW! GOldfinger and Dr. No are without question the 2 most influential films of the series. Without those two, there would be no Bond series as we know it today.

Indeed, and if there was no TMWTGG there would not have been one of the most unforgettable villains in the series, Sir Christopher Lee as Francisco Scaramanga.

[ChrissBond007]

There's no way I ever want a Bondmovie removed. I like them all. Even the ones which I rank as below average Bondmovies still have class in my opinion.

I agree the first three Bond movies are pretty much like the holy trilogy! And yes Scaramanga, whatever your thoughts on TMWTGG, he is great, was voted 3rd on imdb's favorite Bond villain poll too.

[Sharpe]

Definitely Die Another Day. Not only the very worst bond film, but possibly one of the worst films ever. It's terrible to watch.

Like a poster above me, it made me dislike the bond franchise for a while. It's an embarrassment. In fact, I felt the brosnan bonds got worse with each one - Goldeneye was great, tomorrow never dies was poor, the world is not enough was even worse...and DAD...well...

This is all my opinion of course. I'm sure some people out there love the Brosnan movies.

This whole thread is a bummer. You guys are nuking my childhood memories left and right.

Yeah. I'm not a big fan of LALD but to completely erase a film from existence should be reserved for unredeemable bad movies. If you consider any of the Bonds as such, you should also be evaluating your permanence in this forum.
That said, I wouldn't wish NSNA upon my worst enemy.

Do you mean one has to positively adore each and every bond movie, just because they are bond movies, or else be disregarded as an unfaithful bond fan ? I don't get it. I would be very glad if the disastrous TND had never been issued, yet I do consider myself a bond fan, and actually just registered in the CBn Forum. I do not consider bond movies to be the Wholly Scriptures ; one may question their quality.

Absolutely agreed.

Bond films that I'd make vanish: GOLDFINGER, YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER, THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN, TOMORROW NEVER DIES, THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH, and DIE ANOTHER DAY.
