AVTAK Loved the mine scene. Zorin I'd pure evil and a mass killer here. Also gotta love the Golden Gate Bridge scene. Last 20 minutes are great. Rest is quite boring.
Quantum- at the cinema the car chase at the start was headache inducing but I quite like watching the sequence on bluray (although it's still cut a bit too fast). The music track 'Time to Get Out' is great.
The Sword Fight Scene and Hovercraft chase in Die Another Day. OH! and Rosamund Pike.
I also liked the pre-title sequence of Diamonds are Forever.
Both those films are my least favourite though

Recently re-watched DAF and there are a few good lines here and there.
I like when Plenty is thrown into the pool "I didn't know there was a pool down there".
Wint and Kidd have some nice lines.
Enjoyed the scenes with Bernard Lee... Having said that I always enjoy the scenes with Bernard Lee.
My least favourite Bond film ever in the known universe is TND. And my favourite moment has to be the danish lesson. But it's just this one minute I truly like from the movie. It should have been, gunbarrel, danish lesson, end credits.

You say this just to piss me off.... X-(
Not really, I've been pretty consistent for three years on AJB007. Well, I've been pretty consistent since I left the movie theatre in 1997. But I do like the danish lesson.
LTK:
Most of Robert Davi's performance.
Talisa Soto's dress at the casino
LALD:
Moore looks great
MR:
Er...Nice way to dispatch the villain (I'm reaching here...)
mm...I like those three Bond Films there a lot, but I understand how some people may find them lower in quality.
I agree that Moore looks great in LALD, I love his blackoutfit, and from the Spectre trailers, it seems like Craig will be wearing similiar outit!

Virgil, I like you, but your singular hate for my third favourite Bond movie drives me nutz.
I like you too Chrisisall. I could never dislike such a die hard Dalton fan. I'm one myself. What puzzles me is precisely how a Dalton fan can have TND as his third favourite Bond movie. To me that's beyond comprehension. But there you go, I respect you, you respect me, we agree to disagree about that one

The Fleming Bond Dalts does is the best for me. Connery's turn in his first two are awesome. But TND is the OTT fun YOLT was, but with better direction & characterization IMO. I like the fun Bonds too. Call me a diversity fan.
Octopussy -- the after-credits sequence with the twins chasing the clown (once you get over a 00 dressed that way). There's actual suspense and menace. A View to a Kill -- Theme song and credits (soundtrack overall). Licence to Kill -- Bond being tortured while the British agent watches. Goldeneye -- Bond fighting with Xenia and saying "No, no, no." Brosnan owns the moment as Bond. The World is Not Enough -- The pre-titles sequence. Die Another Day -- Sword fight and Bond's entering the hotel in his pajamas. Quantum of Solace -- Bond's escape from the hotel and the Connery-esque moments (his appearance at Mathis' home; his approach to the hotel room; the bit getting the motorcycle; his fight with the boat, what one can actually follow).
TMWTGG: Nothing really, maybe the car chase but only before the unlikely corkscrew stunt.
FYEO: The pts helicopter, but only before the music and slapstick kicks in.
NSNA: Bond taunts a clipboard nazi using a fake bomb in a cigar holder.
TLD: Aerial skydive over Gibraltar.
LTK: Nothing really.
GE: PTS, up to the daft freefall.
TND: Dr Kaufman.
DAD: Bond strolls through the cigar factory.
CR: Nothing really.
QoS: PTS car chase.
SF: Zilch.
YOLT: I like the Japanese location, the music. Up until Little Nellie, I don't mind it.
DAF: The humour in the right mood is great. Peter Franks, Sean Connery hooking up with himself.
DAD: PTS.
My picks for the best moments in Skyfall:
* James' initial conversations with Moneypenny after he comes back from the dead (in spite of the awkwardly handled bit where he basically brushes off the fact that she shot him)
* M's death
* James' interactions with Ben Wishaw's Q
* Gareth Mallory's interactions with M and James
* The scene on the rooftop between Moneypenny and James where Moneypenny gives him the box with M's ceramic bulldog in it
1) The elevator fight.
2) Bond making a car get through a narrow alley to get away from the cops.
3) The deaths of Wint and Kitt.
4) The way Whyte says "Baja?!".
-FYEO:
1) The meeting scene between Bond and Columbo aboard the latter's ship.
2) Bond's scenes with the Countess.
3) The action at the monastery.
4) Bond and Melina being dragged through the water and escaping.
5) Action scene at Kristatos's warehouse.
6) Bond and Melina underwater getting the ATAK before being captured by Kristatos.
7) Bond's killing of Locque.
8) Bond's scene with Bibi when he refuses to have sex with her.
9) Bond destroying the ATAK and his detente words.
"Hostile takeovers. Shall we?"
