    30 legally eon agreed not to use anything in the book except the title the spy who loved me they then procced to have two henchmen who are remarkable similar to those decrived in Flemings novel

    31 lamps and ties are more deadly then guns

    32 agent XXX wants to meet the man who killed her loved so she can promptly sleep with him several times which leads me to 33

    33 russain revenge is awesome

    34 bond will rescue a woman who wants to kill him even risk being court marshaled so long as she is hot

    35 a new m will disguise himself as Admiral Hargrave

    36 bond is on a first name basis with the minister of defense

    We're up to #44. #21 and #22 were posted twice.

    44) The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Or the one.
    Beautiful Blonde: But James I need you.
    James Bond: So does England.

    45) The irony of Moneypenny being told to tell Bond to "pull out" will forever be lost on M.

    46) When you are in the safety of a large crowd watching a show at the pyramids and you see a hulking henchman the obvious thing to do is to run alone into the pyramid where said henchman can kill you. Doofus.

    Some of you should mention the exterior train stuff in OP, if I'm remembering correctly, though when you cut to Moore on top of the train, he looks like he's just flopping around up there. The stunt stuff was kinda impressive. It's just more fun when you can actually put the actor into scenes like that.
    You have been asked to stop derailing this thread. Either stick to the spirit of the thread or leave it. Last warning.

    Sure, I can do that!

    21) In a badly conceived action sequence, Jaws sings badly and softly at the post he's supposed to hit so the foam rocks can fall on him like a bad Chaplin film.

    There you go, Nic Nac! :)

    22) Disco has no place in a Bond film.

    68. Even though XXX is aware of the capabilities of the Lotus, she's still afraid when it hits the water. So she must fear British build cars.
    69. Whenever you drive your Lotus out of the water, you ought to drop a little fish from it.
    70. Mad megolomaniacs who want to destroy the world do not shake hands (remember this when you're starting at work again on monday and have to wish everyone a happy new year!)

    71) (related to 69) somehow it's possible for fish to get inside a submarine without opening a hole large enough to sink it.

    72) related to 69: Any cool moment in TSWLM, like any cool moment in any Moore Bond film, must be undercut by humor, which is why to me these films are parodies thereby comedies not really spy films.

    73. When m asks for bond to pull out immediately, he really should think it through

    We're up to #76. @DoubleOhDad forgot to number his posts.

    76) The prospect of their car not working and a hulking henchman tearing said car apart will send Bond's quip engine into overdrive forcing 007 to throw out one-liners at a furious pace...

    77) …yet after indulging himself in multiple quips over the span of only seconds Bond will promptly roll his eyes when Anya tries to get in on the trend.

    With that TSWLM is our new reigning and defending champion.

    To answer @Risico007's question, if anyone wants to contribute to a prior film please do so. Just number them appropriately. Maybe we get DN more than just 8 bullet points. :)

    I already have ideas for octopussy casino Royale licence to kill and quantum of solace

    Right you are. I adore OHMSS but hey, what the Hell:

    30. When throwing daggers about the place Bond gets all superstitious
    31. Piz Gloria is a totally awesome lair for ESB
    32. Lipstick is the best way to arrange a date with men wearing kilts
    33. For buggering about on a cablecar, they should've watched Guns of Navarone or Where Eagles Dare first to get some cool ideas?
    34. Watching sunrises can get ESB all poetic
    35. Ornate metal interior decor grilles can be quite deadly whilst being bitchslapped
    36. We now know how Christmas trees are grown
    37. That choir of schoolchildren must've been snowed in at the resort for absolute ages
    38. Bond really made little effort buying 'the ring' - "I'll have that big one in the window"
    39. Aston Martin DBS horns sound really cool

    36) Love, love, love OHMSS but there's a total cheat when Bond leaps/falls from the cable wires onto the cable car.

    Goldfinger.

    44. It's easier to cheat at golf with a hole in your trousers
    45. some golfballs can get all powdery
    46. Bowler hats can behave just like boomerangs
    47. Driving Aston Martin DB5's fast around wharehouses in the dark is always going to end in tears
    48. Apparently it's too difficult to slow, stop or rationalise that a car approaching in the dark is but a reflection
    49. Oddjob is a man of few words
    50. the tech (and size) for Q Branch homing beacons hasn't changed in almost 50 years
