100%
@ Bertie, I did it the same way but I thought I might have screwed up and switched the two Timothy Dalton ones since I wasn’t sure which came first.

You’re absolutely right, Dave; I didn’t use the proper British spelling… even though the president outranks Bond on the exchange. ;)

I’ve fixed that now. Thanks for the heads up!

Would’ve had 100%, but I forgot to fill one in after switching two answers. And it’s “Licence,” not “License” to kill.

5/9. The only 2 I knew for certain were Goldeneye and Die Another Day as they were the two most current Bond Films on the list. For the other movies I just randomly assigned numbers. :)

Bertie – I tried that approach, but I had no idea what GoldenEye was! So I got the 1st one and the last 2 right and everything else was off. 3/9 :(

I sorta cheated. While I couldn’t say what year a particular Bond film was released, I pretty much know the order they were released in (as well as the order of the presidents). So, since Dr No was early 60’s, I assigned it to JFK, and the rest fell in place.

9/9. Incidentally, as Bond gets on the plane to meet the president at the end of Goldfinger, Felix Lighter tells him that he ordered liquor for 3 on the flight. Bond asks who the other two passengers are, and Lighter responds that there aren’t any other passengers. Ah, Bond. Liquor for three on a flight from Kentucky to Washington is some serious boozin’!

It’s those dadburned Bond marathons on TNT — they always seemed to coincide with finals week when I was in college.
