Diamonds -2 C'mon the crapper Bond films are an easy target. We leave Goldfinger and Russia as the cream to fight it out with ...
The Man Who Would be King +2 Just. Bloody. Marvellous.

I guess I'm easy public because I actually like and own both "Just Case" and "Medicine Man".  I wouldn't put them on my list of all favorites but they're not that bad either.  There's some pretty nice scenes in Medicine Man when they move in the trees.  But....we have to vote so:

Name of the rose +2 - I have to give it my first vote in this game.
Just Cause -2 - Rules say I have to pick one.

Removed "Medicine Man" and "Just Cause".  They obviously had no chance of getting positive votes.

Shenanigans! It's rigged! I just popped in thinking, "time to vote for my all-time favourite Connery films: Medicine Jane and Justice Because" and they'd gone!  :redcard:
