    8) NO, not License to Kill. LTK contains Milton Krest and his boat, the Wavekrest, from the short story The Hildabrand Rarity, as well as Felix's dismemberment by the shark from Live and Let Die.

    The Spy Who Loved Me closely comes in as the first, but as I mentioned, Jaws and Sandor were taken from the two henchmen (the Jaws character is Horror, but I don't remember Sandor's basis) in the novel The Spy Who Loved Me. The first all original (with nothing but the absolute basics to make it a Bond film, such as M, Q, Moneypenny and Bond himself) is really Tomorrow Never Dies, as even it's title isn't related to anything Fleming.

    A big hint, Tomorrow Never Dies is a close guess for #8 but not correct

    I believe #2 is Octopussy, and #8 is GoldenEye?

    Can only hazard a few ...

    8) Goldeneye

    3) Good heavens ... I hope not Octopussy or Man with the Golden Gun - how about Thunderball? (so out on a limb here ...)

    1) Sylvia Trench (unless you meant a recurring role, then I am lost)

    2) For Your Eyes Only

    8) You can't honestly mean YOLT, do you? I know the film bears little to no resemblance to the book, but it's not completely original.

    GoldenEye can't be the answer. It was named after Fleming's Jamaican estate, so therefore has a connection to Fleming and the books beyond the basic.

    But the question says references to a Fleming novel or short story. Neither his estate nor the term Goldeneye were never mentioned in any of his novels or short stories.
