When you think to yourself, that's it, that's why i'm here....
For me probably
Actually did enjoy the
For me probably
the lift jump.
Would have said the train cufflink pull if I hadn't seen it 100 times before the film.

very first cue in the corridor in first moment of the film - but actually think it would have been better to be played when JB came into focus and his eyes were highlighted - then that would have been my Bond moment.
Comments
Also the sneaking into M's flat. Craig's Bond seems to have a habit of doing that
Banter in car with gal about the wing mirrors in opener.
Craig sarcy attitude towards analyst, and nice direction of analyst 'now now' in very small role.
Good joke with Q: 'Gun.. and a radio. Not exactly Christmas is it'.
Maybe jumping on back of tube train, always thought that would make a good Bond stunt actually. Well done.
Roger Moore 1927-2017
In all honesty, I did not have many Bond moments in SF
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
That one for sure.
Roger Moore 1927-2017
The DB5 - and M's quip about it hardly being inconspicuous....
The conversation with Severine in the casino.... and Bonds quip about the waste of a good drink once she was shot....
Then the roof top scene at the end... and of course the last act... the padded door, the FYEO file.... then the gun-barrel. -{
- when Bond opens the Garage.. Tadaa... DB5 with Bond Theme.
- Shanghai Silhouette Fight Scene
- when the Chimera heads to the lost City, Bond with Severine on Deck and the Henchmen in the background
- Complete Lodge Sequence
Winking at Mallory.
displaying the DB5 for the first time.
the smirk on his face walking away from Monepenny.
The banter with Q.
Banter with Q - I like the recast Q, he makes sense in modern times
Most everything about Kincaid especially the "You hopped up little sh%&" line or whatever it was.
The lodge scene - I just loved it, everything about it was fresh for a Bond movie (well, maybe not fresh in a movie in light of Home Alone)
The new M's office, door, Moneypenny. Awesome.
He quips to Eve something about
" It's the circle of life "
Craig's Bond suits these more cruel dry Lines rather than the funny Moore stuff.
The entire island lair sequence.
Bond leaping on the back of the tube train pulling out of the station (with some very Moore-ish humour: 'Someone's keen to get home!' and 'Health and safety...'
When the old manor and helicopter gunship blow up (with the collumn of flames from the wreakage being seen for miles), followed by when Bond grapples with that surviving henchman beneath the surface of the frozen lake.
And finally when Bond meets Moneypenny for the first time in the Craig era and the new M sitting in the old MI6 office (it even has the hat stand).
When Bond gets SUPER PISSED X-( at the death of his Aston Martin. I thought that was a bit strange when they just kept shooting it until it exploded and Bond looked extremely upset. But then the Bond theme started playing in EPIC MODE and I was like YES!!!!! YES YES YES! YES YOU KILL THEM BOND! NOBODY MESSES WITH YOUR ASTON MARTIN
Also the whole end scene from when I realized what was going on. The second I saw that hat rack I knew what was going to happen! From that moment until the gunbarrel and the 50th anniversary logo I couldn't stop smiling.
Aaaaah, what a great time for Bond fans!
Kicking the gun to Eve during the gunfight, which he does with complete nonchalance.
The expression on Bond's face when the DB-5 gets blown up.
The moment the train comes through the hole caused by the explosion. "Was that for me?" "No, but this is." Probably Silva's best line.
When Silva removes his teeth, keeping alive the Fleming theme of a bad guy with a deformity.
- opening moment in the corridor
- bond in dinner suit arriving at the casino
- MI6 blowing up (could have heard that from my house!)
- Bond re-training in the gym
OMG, yes mate...me too! The penny dropped and I almost had tears in my eyes
Classic quality 'don't give a ****' Bond.

Bond coming down the corridor into dramatic close-up
Bond chucking the laptop to one side (Craig does that discarding of things he has no use for so well in all his films)
Bond collapsing from exhaustion after performing chin-ups
Bond clinging on to the bottom of the Shanghai lift with his left hand due to the pain in his right shoulder
Bond's arrival at the Macau casino by boat
Severine's nervous hand shake as she talks of Silva
Bond raising his glass to Severine's minders prior to the casino fight
The use of Charles Trenet's song 'Boum' at Silva's lair
Silva's utterance of "But that is." when the tube train crashes through the wall (though it almost cried out for a parting shot of "Mind the gap, James!")
Bond's heroic run through London played out to Tennyson's 'Ulysses'. A bit of sophisticated class for an action film.
Bond's wink to Mallory prior to shooting the fire extinguishers
The DB5! The Bond theme! The ejector seat gag!
Mallory showing his true worth as an ally to Q & Tanner
Bond's line, "Some men are coming to kill us. We're going to kill them first."
Silva's armed henchmen making their walk to Skyfall
John Lee Hooker's song 'Boom Boom' blasting out from Silva's helicopter.
The use of the DB5's machine guns
Bond's look of anger when the DB5's blown up
Silva's look of disbelief when the helicopter crashes into Skyfall
Silva's utterance of "All this running & jumping... It's exhausting."
Bond firing the flare from under the frozen lake
Everything coming full circle in Mallory's office & Bond's eagerness to help him get the job done
There may be others but those struck me as soon as I saw or heard them. Hope others agree.
I second that, as soon as I saw it I could have left the cinema and knew exactly what would happen (in a good way, and not that I would even think of doing so!)
Other Bond moments:
The chat about wing mirrors in the Defender
Meeting Q and both of their sarcy comments
Getting on the tube (have considered doing this myself some mornings!)
When we meet the DB5 - great line by M
When we see the end of the DB5 - Bond's face, as if saying "NOW this has got serious!"
i'm sure it was 4m Euros
i'm sure it doesn't matter.

Shot in one take and beaultifully lit by Roger Deakins, it is the epitome of Bond style and danger.
Already one of the series greatest fights.
"You're mad. Do you know that?"
"Yes. Isn't everyone?"
"He'll see you now"
Classic Bond B-)
Was going to mention this one too. Thought it was absolutely superb piece of filming and lighting.
When the garage door opened and the DB5 was there ... what a moment. Loved M's quip straight after it too to do with hardly being inconspicuous.
I'm probably one of the few who enjoyed the Eve-Bond connection, particularly once the reveal was made at the end. Thought it set the playful nature (that will hopefully be seen in the next film) up nicely.
