For example, the pic of Brosnan hanging from the rope just as the TWINE theme song begins.

Or in QoS as Craig callously chucks the cell phone on the ground of his car after M tells him not to kill any more people.

A couple of mine.

MilleniumForce · July 2015

When Bond says "Would you like me to drive?" in TSWLM, his face and the little laugh he makes whilst saying it makes me smile.

The Wicker Man · July 2015

In Moonraker when Bond fires his wrist dart gun into the painting in M's office. Love Bernard Lee's reaction.

HatThrowingHenchman · July 2015

I love it how the asian portier chuckles and says "ahhh surpriseeee" in TMWTGG.

chrisisall · July 2015

"Go ahead. Eject me. See if I care." Brilliant.

Barbel · July 2015

In TSWLM- Anya has fallen asleep on Bond's shoulder in the back of Jaws' van but wakes up when they hit a bump. She glares at him, and Moore pulls the most David Niven-like expression he ever did.

Gassy Man · July 2015

In no particular order and certainly not exhaustive:

Casino Royale:

[list=*]
[*]Bond's cowlick in the credits -- so completely fits his ballsy, nonchalant demeanor in the film.
The entire animated sequence, especially the Bond silhouette that looks retro, masculine, and Craig-like.
Bond's "You okay?" when being brought back to life -- it strikes me as something fitting Bond's masculinity and is one of the few moments of romance in the film that shows why he captures Vesper's heart.
Nice character moments -- Craig's expression when drowning the bad guy/pseudo gunbarrel turn when he comes to; Bond catching the gun and hitting Mollaka with it; Bond throwing Mollaka through the window to clear the glass for himself; Craig's serious Connery vibe throughout the Bahamas sequence, made moreso by Danny Arnold's music; the bit where he pulls the nail out of his shoulder.[/*]
[/list]

Dr. No

[list=*]
[*]Bond needling Dr. No at dinner, showing he's as smart as he is tough.
The villain getting the best line (a staple of the early films) -- "You are just a stupid policeman . . . whose time has run out.
The wonderful minimalist set design when Dent comes to pick up the tarantula."[/*]
[/list]

From Russia with Love

[list=*]
[*]Bond looking nonchalantly at his watch during the explosion at the Russian embassy; "007" playing as he pulls it off.
Bond's easy and immediate friendship with Kerim Bey, which feels genuine.[/*]
[/list]

Goldfinger

Bond telling the maid she's very sweet.
Goldfinger with the great line "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!"; Goldfinger rubbing his eye and unconcerned when telling Bond he's the owner of the club.

Thunderball

[list=*]
[*]The shoes bit.
Bond's jokes about the kickstarter; his nonchalant walk down the corridor after bedding Patricia Fearing (which Craig imitates in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace).
Bond's interplay with Fiona -- "Fly here often?"; "Well, enjoy yourself"; "Mind if my wife sits this one out . . ."
For all the talk about Bond's invincibility when played by Connery, he is often beaten up, scared, or worried, especially in this film.[/*]
[/list]

You Only Live Twice

[list=*]
[*]The somewhat racist play on "Asian" accents with "Darling, I give you very best duck." I'm surprised that made it past the censors.
The way the cop seems to look into the camera rather than his partner when he says, "He would have wanted it this way."
The wonderful crane shot and music during the Kobe docks fight.
The beautiful wedding sequence.
Lots of truly wonderful, beautiful shots in this film, both of the countryside and ocean and of sunsets and sunrises.[/*]
[/list]

On Her Majesty's Secret Service

[list=*]
[*]Lazenby's bon vivant attitude in so many scenes, even when angry, such as when he shoves the saloon door back at the henchman.
Draco putting his glasses on to look at the calendar, which then comes into focus for us.
The dark irony of the peaceful Christmas village and music when Bond is fighting for his life and throws a man over the cliff.
The tracking shot when the henchman try to kill Bond while he telephones.
The utterly believable proposal scene -- far more romantic than anything in Casino Royale.[/*]
[/list]

Diamonds are Forever

[list=*]
[*]When Bond leaves Tiffany in bed to "go to work" scaling the outside of the hotel.
The weird little visual and audio moments that give the film an off kilter quality -- Tiffany changing wigs, the astronauts in slow motion, the tunnel machine, Bond arriving in the inflatable walking globe.[/*]
[/list]

After that, I really don't care so much until the Craig era.

Absolutely_Cart · July 2015

Casino Royale gunbarrel. The opening guitars of You Know My Name (as the blood drips down) are enhanced by subtle horns that make all the difference!! I love that.

Markyb64 · July 2015

The Man With The Golden Gun...Bond aiming the rifle at the gunmaker " Speak now or forever hold your piece "

Absolutely_Cart · July 2015

Avtak golden gate fight. Old man (maxs business partner) gets up from the ground, puts on his monocole and is like "what the heck is going on".

lueth2048 · July 2015

Probably my top small moment: In Die Another Day: 'Thank's for the kiss of life' and then hearing the sound effect that opened Dr No.

Seeing Vesper's face during the credit sequence of Casino Royale.

Hugo Drax's great line: 'You appear with the tedious inevitability of an unloved season.' What makes it even better is that low key Michel Lonsdale can't get the line out without laughing.

Bondage007 · July 2015

"His name's jaws He kills people"

"Hang on." "The thought had occurred to me"

MR is full of great lines, which is why it may rise in my rankings

Ornithologist · July 2015

"I told the stewardess liquor for three."
"Who are the other two?"
"There are no other two."

)

Dutchfinger · July 2015

Gotta love Roger Moore in Octopussy when he takes the rigged dice, just throws them and without looking at the board just goes: "Double sixes"

"It's all in the wrist"

It ALWAYS gets me

Thunderpussy · July 2015

+1 {[] great moment.

This one. I think it is such a cool little moment of ingenious camera work.

Thunderpussy · July 2015

From SF.
When Silva describes what happened to him and how he'd suffered.
I love Craig's expression ( as 007), he couldn't care less.

)
I guess Bond was thinking, you want suffering mate try letting a
Psycho go to town on your dangling bits.

Penfold Heart · July 2015

On the private jet at the end of Goldfinger.

When Goldfinger appears with the gun, connery looks really worried, then suddenly delivers the line: "are you having lunch with the president too?"

Love it.

Also in GF I love the way when Tilly Masterson says the case is for her ice-skates. Just the way Connery delivers the line "lovely sport" cracks me up.

I really think Connery has by far the best piss-taking delivery of any Bond.

Moore's is very good, but a little too overt for me.

Dutchfinger · July 2015

Another one would be in Thunderball (which is full of great Connery moments)

"Would you mind giving me something to put on"

*Bond passes her slippers and goes sit down casually*

Another one that always gets me

)

MilleniumForce · July 2015

Wai Lin and Bond on the motor bike in TND.
"Don't get any ideas"
"I wouldn't dream of it"

"Attache case damaged when examined. So sorry" in Goldfinger. Hilarious idea of a deleted scene that was never shot.

Please clarify? I always assumed they just named the attache case again, since he had one in the previous movie.

I assumed he meant the gas cartridge exploding when the case was opened.

The idea that when examining his attache case the gas grenades or any upgraded gadgets went off since they didn't know how to open it correctly. I always saw that as a bit of a joke which is why Bond just doesn't seem to care about it being gone.

I guess Bond wouldn't care about the 50 gold sovereigns either? Goldfinger sure would!

There's another funny idea. Goldfinger pushes the poor minion aside who is choking on tear gas to pocket the coins

Can't believe in all those years I have always missed that joke! That makes so much sense

Thunderpussy · July 2015

Goldfinger has one of the best " Put down" lines. When Goldfinger is
Admiring his horse and asks Bond what he thinks , Bond replies ......
" Certainly, better bred than the owner !" {[] brilliant, puts a smile on
My face every time.
