    Bond interrogates Andrea ("a fascinating anatomical tidbit, but possibly the most worthless piece of information I've ever heard...Unless of course the Bottoms Up is a strip club, and Scaramanga is performing there"

    Dinner ("there's a useful four letter word-and you're full of it")

    "I've lost my charm." "Not from where I'm standing."

    1. Bond slaps Andrea around
    2. Bond and Scaramanga dinner chat
    3. Bond and Scaramanga at the kick-boxing

    1. Bond and Scaramanga talking over Andrea's dead body
    2. Bond and Scaramanga dinner chat
    3. Bond interrogating Andrea after the shower scene.

    And my guilty favourite : Nick Nack strikes back in the boat. Ok, the fight is silly, but the moment he shows up after everything has exploded is just thrilling.

    Love the fun house, just one of the many benign bizarre elements of the film. Plus, it's got a great Barry score to boot.

    Yep, i like those 3 scenes as well. I like the music score for the fight in the belly dancers dressing room.

    Tough one:

    1. Bond flies plane to Scaramanga's island (for the score)
    2. Final shootout (when Bond starts turning and you realize he's not a dummy, again the score)
    3. "Goodnight, sir." (one of the better final could be smarmy scenes--"She's just coming, sir"--but Moore sells it)

    Another great Goodnight moment! She is one of the highlights of the film, besides Lee.

    Updated the scores for From Russia with love on the first page. Since quite of the picks for that one was a bit unclear, like "any scene with Kerim, and "all the stuffs on the train". I decided to only include the specific picks.

    1. Scaramanga kills Hai Fat
    2. The car stunt (minus the slide whistle)
    3. The whole PTS.

    Christopher Lee is a pure scene stealer in this film. He was truly a living legend, and it's sad that he's gone.

    1. PTS - obviously. Unless you were there in '77 you can't imagine the impact that scene had on audiences. You could have heard a pin drop!
    2. Time to get rid of an unwanted guest! - the whole Lotus chase, completely audacious.
    3. James saves Anya - boy is she hot!
    special mention - "I've a message for you"
    "I think you just delivered it!"     - This film is cram full of Bond Babes.

    Oh, where to begin? One of the most iconic darn films ever made, and you want me to pick just 3? Impossible again!

    Well, here's my top whatever (which changes from time to time). Sorry, I just can't in good conscience pick 3 scenes.

    1. the Lotus car chase (one of the greatest scenes put to film imho - up there with Bullitt for me)
    2. the legendary parachute jump
    3. Jaws in Egypt killing Aziz Fekkesh with the sinister score playing in the background
    4. Jaws in Egypt killing Max Kalba with the superior club number in the background
    5. Jaws, Bond and Anya encounter and escape at Karnak Temple
    6. Bond and Anya walking through the desert all dressed up
    7. Bond, Anya and Jaws fight on the train
    8. skiing in pretitles (just the skiing itself is iconic imho - Moore is cool as humanly possible on those skis)
    9. the first time we see Atlantis
    10. Stromberg dispatching his secretary while the two scientists look on in shock
    11. the absolutely phenomenal title track
    12. Bond and Anya conversing at the Mojaba club
    13. Chandor / Bond fight atop the roofs
    14. Bond on a camel meeting his buddy
    15. Bond walking in Egypt with the superior Hamlisch track in the background interspersed with morning muslim prayer
    16. Liparus opening up to swallow a sub with Hamlisch's score again
    17. Naomi
    18. Submarine battle at the end
    19. Let me enhance your vocabulary
    20. Well I've had lunch, but I seemed to have missed dessert

    Legendary film, and just recounting these scenes has made me have to watch it this week sometime.

    From TSWLM :

    1) The ski chase

    2) The car chase (I'm always on the edge of my seat when I watch it)

    3) The big battle in the Liparus.

    Honorary mention : the Pyramids.
