8. TSWLM 9. TMwtGG 10. AVtaK 11. SF 12. TND 13. LtK 14. NTtD
15. MR 16. LaLD 17. YOLT 18. GF 19. DN 20. SP 21. TWiNE
22. TB 23. DAD 24. QoS 25. DaF
those are some good choices @IcePak I certainly like the Citroen chase, Dr Kaufman, and the fencing too.
your "momemt" from OHMSS is probably about twenty minutes but its all good and hard to split into separate components, probably the best extended chain of action sequences in the series. And I always get a thrill when he's locked in the machine room because I know the movies about to radically change gears with this moment, like that pause at the top of a roller coaster before the first plunge.
