Other honorable mentions though:
-TSWLM ("keeping the British end up sir").
-GF with Shirley Basset's belting tune.
-CR ("Bond, James Bond" as Arnold's theme sends shivers down the spine)
-Dr No - the cheesey music resembling a 1940s war film aside I like the version of "Underneeth the Mango Tree" that plays.
- But i also enjoyed A view to a kill's (Golden gate bridge) aswell as GE.
- haha yeah, i remember the first time i watched that ending (late 2009) and feeling the tension and everything, to me it was great!
For GE, I would think of the finale as soon as their plane crashes.
My top finales:
GF - Pussy saving the day coupled with the countdown edge-of-your seat bomb defusing by Bond
YOLT - the volcano laire with ninjas is as a grand as it gets
TSWLM - giant sub set-piece, Rog on the move
LTK - the Big Rig sequence is explosive
GE - Touche with what others have already said
QOS - A really intense finale with both Camille and the General going at it and Greene maniacally swinging the axe at Bond, complete with burning/exploding building.
Those are the best, though I would include the Red Grant fight as it is essentially the finale of the filrm, even though there's still another 20 or so more minutes of action (one of the things that still bugs me about FRWL). And as much as the DAF ending is derided, I do enjoy the bedlam of the CIA and Whyte unleashing their helicopter fleet on the oil tanker, as the bomb ticks away to doomsday with Dr. Metz shouting frantically.

Oh goodness! #-O How could I forget OHMSS!! Easily my favorite finale: the Lazenby machine gun slide, the Draco helicopter assault, Tracy skewering that guy on the spike sculpture (you knew that prop was going to be used for something deadly later on!), the Bob-sled chase with Bond and Blofeld! It nearly brings tears to my eyes it's so good.
A few others also come to my mind:
-GoldenEye
-Tomorrow Never Dies
-You Only Live Twice
-The Spy Who Loved Me
-Octopussy
Yup, also the most gruesome death in bond history
-TSWLM
-GE
-TND
-YOLT
-GF (thankfully the finale is good, because the rest of the movie is trash)
-OP
-LTK
Live and Let Die is also up there, real fun as Moore rescues Seymour amid all the mayhem
I'll include Goldfinger too, pity that the film itself was a boring affair but once Connery arrives at Fort Knox and the troops close in and the bomb ticks away, it has a really fun bit with Harold Sekata before he gets electrocuted, it's arguably the best (near) ending of Connerys tenure
