Sequences/Moments that you cannot stop rewatching.

Dirty Punker · October 2017

We all have one.
For me, it's a bit of a guilty pleasure as it comes from Die Another Day.
That would have to be the escape from the English Warship, to Brozzer surfacing next to the Yacht Club and his check-in and check-out at the Ruby-eon.
What's yours?
Forgive me if there is a similar thread in ajb's cyberspace.

OHMSS PTS
TND- Brozzer looking immaculate in his grey suit and T&A tie, as he infiltarates Carver's Hamburg Hq, and the multi-story car park chase
CR - Madagascar chase sequence
... and the brilliant Skyfall scene where Bond, M and Kincaid are prepping Skyfall lodge Silva's men arrive, I love that sequence.

Dirty Punker · October 2017

Thunderball.
Bond taking the time to throw the flowers at "her".

hehadlotsofguts · October 2017

GF- Bond in the water(seagull mask and all), knocking out the guard and sprinting to the drug lab. Love it when the Bond theme kicks in when the guard is knocked out!

Number24 · October 2017

The free running sequence in CR.
The skiing sequences in OHMSS.

ichaice · October 2017

The chase sequence in Casino Royale.

Dirty Punker · October 2017

Moonraker, "Co-operation?".
Lois and Roger had some very good chemistry but due to the movie being written the way it was, it never payed off.

Chriscoop · October 2017

The Talamone scene in qos. The scene in bonds flat in lald ( the dialogue between bond and M is brilliant) the boat chase in lald.
The Swiss alps db5 scenes in GF.
All of tb
The art museum scene in sf, bonds flat in sp, the pts of ohmss, the range rover and jet scene of op, the beach scene with lisl in FYEO, Hunter boat scene in FRWL, the klebb scene in Venice ( why didn't big tam just hit her? )
In fact while I'm here, every scene in all 24 films given the right mood!

Agent Double-O Daniel · October 2017

The PTS, the Madagascar free running chase in CR, the end scene with Mr. White ("The name's Bond, James Bond."). I was like YES, there it is! A great intro into the DC era Bond.

The PTS in QoS, the boat chase, meeting with Mathis.

The PTS in SkyFall, meeting Q, the arrival in Shanghai, shaving scene with Moneypenny, bringing out the DB5, SkyFall lodge.

The PTS in Spectre, Bond's flat, car chase, meeting with Mr. White.

heartbroken_mr_drax · October 2017

Hmm interesting question. There are so many scenes that I "won't miss" but I guess this is the idea of YouTubing bits or just chucking in the BluRay to see the scene again:

PTS of GF
The wedding in YOLT
TSWLM: PTS, Lotus Chase, the speed boat shooting out of Liparus, Bond admitting killing of XXX's lover.
MR: Centrifuge, entire space sequence, titles.
FYEO: Casino scenes, dragging behind boat and rock climbing.
OP: PTS.
AVTAK: PTS, titles, Tibbet scenes.
TLD: PTS
GE: Gunbarrel, Ferrari F355 and Aston chase.
TND: PTS.
TWINE: Gunbarrel, PTS, titles.
DAD: Sword fight
CR: 747 close shave.
QoS: PTS and boat chase.

Peppermill · October 2017

There are quite a lot but I'll choose my favourite scene from the Bond series (for today).

Double 6, fancy that! OP

Sir Hillary Bray · October 2017

OHMSS -- The entire sequence in Gumbold's office, from the time he leaves until he returns. So well-crafted, so suspenseful, and all without a word of dialogue.

ToTheRight · October 2017

Depends on the film. Some Bonds I just let play their course: FRWL, GF, YOLT, OHMSS, TLD, and CR among others.
Then there are specific scenes that bring a smile to my face I can't help but replay: Mr Jones in DN, Wint's squeal at the end of DAF, Arnold Williams' New Orleans pick up and capture of Bond and Solitaire in LALD, Roger's smirk/nod during the Drive in the Country bit in FYEO, as well as Roger's smirk/nod to Naomi in TSWLM, and of course the several Bonds that had classic gunbarrel openings with excellent Bond Theme music I have to replay as well (no Craig replays there, sorry).

Dirty Punker · October 2017

I should add the whole sequence after the end of the boat chase in Moonraker and his luring into the pyramid.
So atmospheric and well crafted.
All without a single line of dialog.

Barbel · October 2017

...but with John Barry! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1F5z57mLIg

DieAnotherDay · October 2017

FYEO Rock Climbing part, for sure.

A 50/50 bet here Gassy Man. Dent was involved in a few scenes (Queens Club, Tarantula, rock samples) but I'm thinking the scene you're referring to would be when Bond kills him?

DB6 · October 2017

I know the film has it's critics but I really like the PTS in Quantum; love the way it's edited with the silence, high speed car movement etc until it then goes full sound; works really well in my opinion.

I loved how it started with the slow music build up and the camera panning over the water, it's a great pts and sequence, in fact one of the best bond car chases, but lets not forget it cama at a high price.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1902288/James-Bond-filming-suspended-after-third-accident-leaves-stuntman-in-coma.html

Dirty Punker · October 2017

Didn't one of the stunt coordinators (not exactly sure if that was his title) from the Bourne films who worked with Bond come up with that idea and even direct that part himself?

It's a great car chase.

I too love the way the sound builds up slowly as the camera pans across the lake to the tunnel, the faintest sound of the V12 emanating. The calm, before the tranquility of the setting is broken by the sound of automatic gunfire, high revving engines, tyres squealing and shattered glass. I love the intensity of it, the real sense of danger. The Aston squirming it's tail avoiding the truck, the police radio call talking about the Grey Aston Martin.. The opening few moments makes up for the lack of gun barrel at the start of the film. Soundtrack is spot on too.

The Carabinieri officers killed in the Land Rover, genuinely feels very real and brutal. All adds to the effectiveness and portrayal of the drama and seriousness of the whole situation Bond has found himself in.

DB6 · October 2017

It's one of my favourite Bond openings. The Aston Martin is obviously a beautiful beast but I think the front end of the Alfa 159 lends itself to be a villains car; has a certain cool menace to it :v

"It's time to get out"

ANWD has a good intro - then the singing starts. SKIP.

Charmed & Dangerous · October 2017

Definitely one of the best openings in the series, and David Arnold's superb "Time to get out" track is IMO the best non-John Barry piece in the entire series.

I also love the chase sequence between Bond and Mitchell over the rooftops, it also mixes excitement, danger and brutality. It's a pity those two highlights came so early - the rest of the film is great but never quite matches those two sequences.
