Inspired by AQUA SALZ! 's 'MCU Survivor Game' (which was inspired by @raimiackbar 's rewatch thread), the rules are pretty much the same as they were in that thread which can be found here: sakaar.freeforums.net/thread/524/mcu-survivor-game?page=1So basically, just vote for the Bond film you like the LEAST, you have a 24 hour period to cast your vote, and whichever movie gets the most votes will be booted off, then the next round will start. Try to only vote for films that you've actually seen rather than ones you haven't.
In the case of films being 'tied' with the number of votes...if it's two films 'tied', then they both get the boot, but if it's three or more films that're 'tied', then it'll come down to a tie-breaker between those particular films until one receives the most votes.
You can change your vote to break the tie (or for some other reason) so long as it's before the deadline.
Speaking of the 'deadline', with Sa[lzmar]kaar's thread it was 3:30 EST...but since this is a thread I started (and I was always asleep when a round ended in the MCU Game), I'm making the 'deadline' of this game a time when I'll actually be awake.
I'm starting this thread at 10:00 am Australian time, and if the Google time converter thingy I looked at is accurate...I believe 10:00 am Australian time is 8:00 pm EST - so that's what the deadline will be. If this is an inconvenient time for anyone, please let me know and I may be able to adjust it.
Please note: Disagreeing with other posters' votes is fine, but please keep it civil (ie. don't get nasty/personal).
Anyway, without further ado...here is the list of James Bond films to pick your LEAST favourite from:
Dr. No (1962)
From Russia with Love (1963)
Goldfinger (1964)
Thunderball (1965)
You Only Live Twice (1967)
On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)
Diamonds Are Forever (1971)
Live and Let Die (1973)
The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Moonraker (1979)
For Your Eyes Only (1981)
Octopussy (1983)
Never Say Never Again (1983)
A View to a Kill (1985)
The Living Daylights (1987)
Licence to Kill (1989)
GoldenEye (1995)
Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
The World Is Not Enough (1999)
Die Another Day (2002)
Casino Royale (2006)
Quantum of Solace (2008)
Skyfall (2012)
Spectre (2015)
Let the voting commence!

I wish I knew more about Bond. I'll be useless here. Sorry, hobowar. I didn't mean to choose a franchise you hadn't seen. @raimiackbar mentioned possibly starting a 'Star Wars survivor game' or a 'Pixar survivor game'. I've seen all the (live action) Star Wars films, but have seen hardly any Pixar films - so if a thread for those films is started, I won't be much 'use' in that one, so I sympathise with you. Once again, I didn't intend for this thread to exclude anyone. I guess it was just inevitable that there'd be some films that some of us hadn't seen.

Is anybody here a bigger Bond fan than I???
I'm pretty big, I could name them all in order without looking, could tell you Connery came back not once but twice sort of and why I mean sort of, can tell you why Dalton got the job instead of Pierce,,, anybody with me? :-)
Die Another Day has to be the answer here. You might be able to name technically worse films like maybe Diamonds Are Forever or A View To A Kill or Never Say Never Again if we're counting that one, but Die Another Day nearly killed the franchise and was such a miscalculation like nothing else was.

Because Pierce getting the role of James Bond stirred up enough hype for "Remington Steele" for them to renew it for another season, inadvertently causing Brosnan to have to pass up on starring in "The Living Daylights" to due to his contractual commitments to the show and the scheduling not lining up for him to be able to do both.

I have heard that DAD is the worst.
But it's probably the only one I have never seen.
So I will go with QoS.

Bond basically becomes a supporting character in his own movie because Halle Berry had enough sway over the studios at the time to make herself the star of Bond's 20th Movie, released on the 40th Anniversary of the series' creation. So yeah, the 20th Bond Movie, which doubled at the 40 Year Anniversary, was Halle Berry: The Movie, Featuring James Bond.

About the only thing I liked in Die Another Day was Rosamund Pike ( anthonyrocks , I'm sure you'd agree she was one of the 'pluses' of that film ). While it's not technically my 'least favourite', I know that my true least favourite Bond film won't likely get many votes and so I'm going to keep that one close to the vest for the time being. So, with my vote for DAD taken into account, the current vote tally stands at: Die Another Day - 4 votes Thunderball - 1 vote Quantum of Solace - 1 vote Thanks, Grandmaster. I appreciate that. Though, sadly, it seems we've lost some people from the 'MCU Survivor Game' due to them not having seen any Bond films. On the plus side, we've gained a voter in ArArArchStanton (who wasn't a participant in the 'MCU Survivor Game').

Yeah Arch is sort of a MCU devotee. He refuses to choose between his babies.
I on the other hand killed all my real children by spraying them into the open air instead of a woman so... Wait... Too much information? Yeah I thought so...

Great idea for a survivor game, Chalice_Of_Evil! DAD will almost certainly ‘win’ the first round, but I’m going to have to be contrarian and pick Spectre. I mostly just found it boring, which for me is the unforgivable sin.

This is pointless for me. First get Never Say Never Again off the list because it's not a real James Bond movie. Second remove all the Daniel Craig "Bond in name only" movies.
All of the rest are too good to vote for any of them to be removed.
I have spoken.

Hey, waaaaaaiiiit a second here. How can you name your least favorite Bond but not your least favorite MCU movie? I must know these things! I must understand your mind, Archie! Aye, to untrained eye this may seem a mystery indeed. lol So there's a few factors here 1. The Bond series just isn't as consistently good to great 2. It's not meant to be a single unit all working together 3. I started ranking these when I was younger before I realized I didn't feel any real need to rank films 4. I've got very strong opinions about some of these which are counter to the mainstream 5. And the portrayals and styles are often sharply contrasting, which is perfectly fine, the eras in which they take place and the variety of actors make for vastly different experiences I mean you go from not too aggressive Connery in a fairly low budget Dr No film smoking and slapping bitches in the face to massive budget Craig films where he's super hard boiled but deeply compassionate. And all sorts of changes and variety in between. So comparing and contrasting is just part of the game for it I guess. I heard a great breakdown on the various Bond's personalities one time. It's going to sound like a crude question lol, but it really gets into who they are, and it's "which Bonds would go down on women". ;-) lolol. This is actually a fun topic. I say Craig Yes, Connery No, Dalton No, Broson and Lazenby both Yes like they need it, and Moore No
