I like the Idea but I don't know The 007 Theme (as opposed to The James Bond Theme), Bond 77 or Company Car.
[1] "007 Theme" also known simply as "007". Crops up under various titles on various OSTs- eg "Boat Chase" in MR. Used by its composer John Barry for big action sequences such as the underwater battle which ends TB, the oil rig fight at the end of DAF, etc. First appeared in FRWL.
[2] "Bond 77" from TSWLM- it's on the OST and used a couple of times in the film (eg the ski chase) although I'm sure The Cat is waiting to point out that different recordings are used in the film and album.
[3] "Company Car" from TND. Composed by David Arnold for the BMW sequence.
All great choices, and just right for booming out of the stereo in your Aston Martin as you drive to the supermarket.
Elektra King- sex, sadism & snobbery in one smouldering seductress!
All bow to Barbel, King of alliteration!
The contenders should be;
Miranda Frost
Elektra King
Xenia Onatopp
Mayday
Fiona Volpe
Klebb
(I know there are others; Irma Bunt, Bambi and Thumper, Helga Brandt... etc, but really you can't have THAT many in a poll. I think those above are the most memorable of the villainesses)
No way! You ask fifty people on the street which female Bond villain they remember the most, I guarantee the majority will go 'the one with the spike in her shoe'.
I have added a new Poll based on one on BBC News. I am interested to see how the results will compare.
I hope they match (going on the reults now).
I will change it quite soon so throw some ideas.
Unfortunately, the BBC poll seems to have been closed. I could not find it earlier. When I last looked the vote was 19% for a boycott and 81% against. A short while ago the AJB poll was 21% for a boycott and 79% against. So, the closeness of both polls (in percentage terms) is pretty much what you hoped for, SiCo.

Why isn't there a number count next to each percentage in the new poll?
How about this one?:
"Most worthy 007 contenders not to land the role"
1960's - Cary Grant
1970's - Michael Billington
1980's - Sam Neill
1990's - Liam Neeson
2000's - Clive Owen

How about taking it in another direction:
Villian
Henchman
Random soldier
Own fault
Yer I think that might be a nicer idea, the other way is a bit blood thirsty.
Or what about the poll for best 'unescapable' situation!
Yeah I'd like a Best Blofeld;
Anthony Dawson
Donald Pleasance
Telly Savalas
Charles Gray
How about Max Von Sydow?
Yes it's a non EON Bond but it's still Bond, and he was perfect for the role.

Best Bond Track:
The James Bond Theme
The 007 Theme
Bond 77
Company Car
Ice Chase
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
-Roger Moore
Ice Chase makes sense to me though, any way they could all be put in that format?!

I say best villainess, next!

I can't think of many examples, I'm sure other people will help me out! Such as "Satellite in a lake".
Aston Martin DB5, Lotus Esprit, BMW Z3, Aston Martin Vanquish to name but a few...
That's a good one. I suppose the contenders could be:
Palmyra
Blofeld's Volcano
Piz Gloria
Scaramanga's Island
Atlantis
-Roger Moore
I'd also add Auric Stud, St Cyril's, the Olimpatec Meditation Institute and the Maiden's Tower as potential candidates.

Is there an option for users to post polls in their posts? I'd really like to do that, you can on Cbn if you're an administrator. Can we?
