When he executes Dent - loved this moment from the very first time I saw it... not just the killing, but the way he sets it up and catches Dent in the act as well.. F-ing brilliant
as of 08/17/15
Bond and Grant fighting on the train at the end of FRWL
Bond punching out Col. Bouvar in the PTS of TB "Madam, I've come to offer my sincere condolences.." PUNCH!.. gets me every time :)
Lazenby
I always liked the way he disarms Tracy of his PPK in his hotel room... other than that, I love the fist fight between him and the guy in Tracy's room - and also the scene where he breaks in Gumbold's safe.
Moore
When asked to go Pheasant hunting by Drax, and he shoots one of Drax's gunmen from a tree, who was aiming to kill Bond... "Ha-ha, you missed Mr. Bond." (guy falls out of tree) "Did I?.. As you said, such good sport."
as of 08/17/15
Bond confessing to Anya that he did kill her boyfriend in TSWLM - Rog is awesome in this little bit.
Would be remiss if i didn't include the the Lotus chase in TSWLM as well, full of some good ol' Rog one liners.. "All those feathers and he still can't fly." .. "Did you ever get the feeling that someone doesn't like you." lol.
Dalton
Interogating Pushkin in his hotel room in Tangiers.. "That was damned STUPID!!" (thwack!)
Brosnan
Bond's first confrontation with Renard in TWINE down in bunker... IMO, one of Brozzer's good moments as Bond... right along with that, goes the scene in which he kills Dr. Kaufman..
as of 08/17/15
Alec revealing himself as the head of Janus to Bond in GE - loved both Sean and Broz in this scene.
another one from GE is the end fight between Bond and Alec above the satellite dish - one of the best fist fights in the entire series - so personal.
Craig
The PTS in CR, the whole sequence showing how he brutal kills the man in the bathroom, and also how he calmly kills Dryden... i also do like his chase, and fight with Mitchell in QOS, as well as his confrontation with Yusef at the end of the movie.
as of 08/17/15
Bond stalking Patrice through the Shanghai office tower in Skyfall
I really liked Dalton's delivery of "get down on your knees...put your hands behind your back".
Rys-Davis's helpless expression is also great. You really feel for Pushkin in those few moments as he's thinking "this is it...I'm going to die".
My other ones (as of 2015):
Connery: So many to choose from but I'm going to go with his first meeting with Jill Masterson on the balcony in GF. He oozes confidence in that scene.
Laz: The end scene.
Moore: "Keeping the British end up Sir"
Brosnan: His expression during the office scene with M in GE / "No...for me"
Craig: His performance during M's death scene.

Lazenby- I like him in the scenes where he quits MI6, and he sells the whole escape from Piz Gloria (from getting out of his cell to meeting Tracy in the village) brilliantly, it's the most vulnerable and human we've ever seen Bond during any kind of action scene, which adds to the tension. But his best moment for me has to be Tracy's death.
Moore- This one is difficult because of how different his portrayal is to all the others. And again, so many great ones. I've always found his confrontation with Orlov in Octopussy to be one of the most underrated moments of the series ("and I suppose you don't give a damn about all the innocent people that'll die? on your feet general, etc"). He really sells that well. Shows so much conviction, passion, it's one of the most heroic moments of the series for me. When he angrily, but matter of factly tells Orlov he's going to get up and stop the train, I get goosebumps. I also love his talk with Melina about revenge, the moment where he reveals to Anya he killed her boyfriend, and the majority of his interactions with the villains. His best moment though has to be some sort of pun or one liner that only he could pull off. Still not sure which but the British end up is a top contender. Great note to end the film on.
Dalton- My favourite Bond and I instantly know which to pick. Killing Sanchez. He's human and vulnerable but it's also so badass and satisfying. Love how he stumbles off into the desert afterwards, exhausted, beaten up, dishevelled, covered in cocaine and dust, but finally it's all over. It's an amazing moment that gives me chills every time. Shows how resilient, badass and committed the character is. It's such a great moment that I'm struggling to find the right words to be honest. Probably my favourite scene of the franchise.
Brosnan- For me the coolest Bond so there are a number of moments I could pick. But I read an interesting quote about Brosnan's Bond in a review once, it said that he had "hot" kills rather than cold ones. Connery executed professor dent without a second thought, with Brosnan you get the sense that killing is more of a last resort and when he does kill, it's often with anger and passion. For that reason I'm tempted to pick either Kauffman or especially the Elektra kill as his best moment but it has to be finishing off Alec. "No, for me". So satisfying.
Craig- Again a number of great ones but for me there's another clear standout: Bond, James Bond at the end of CR. It's the moment the entire film had been building towards and Craig nails it, showing just how well he'd sold Bond's transformation from rookie to the experienced agent we were used to. He was also great in the torture scenes in CR and SP, and Vesper and M's deaths were highlights. Honourable mentions to adjusting his cuffs after the train jump in SF and casually strolling off after ejecting from the DB10, just because of how cool he was in those scenes.
Lazenby: Reading a Playboy magazine as he waits for the safe to crack open. (OHMSS)
Moore: Raid of the Albanian docks. (FYEO)
Dalton: Pushkin interrogation. (TLD)
Brosnan: Inside Gupta's office in Hamburg. (TND)
Craig: Crashing the Rover and throwing away the keys. (CR)
Lazenby: Final scene or love scene in the barn. (OHMSS)
Moore: Citroen chase (I love that Conti score and the eye brow raise). (FYEO)
Dalton: Pushkin interrogation or Vienna. (TLD)
Brosnan: Graveyard scene (GE), Bond killing Elektra (TWINE)
Craig: Train conversation or shover scene with Vesper (CR)
Tough one but the PTS is the most archetypical Bond sequence ever in my opinion, so I'm going to go with that one.
George Lazenby:
It still angers me how people say George couldn't act, while we all know how great he delivered that final, heartbreaking, scene.
Roger Moore:
Absolutely loved that dinner table conversation with Christopher Lee, the chemistry between the two is magnificent and it's Moore's most Flemingesque moment.
Timothy Dalton:
After the LTK climax when he sits against that rock and fights his tears while looking back at his quest, so human, so well acted.
Pierce Brosnan:
Surprisingly I'm going with the Swiss banker scene. Always loved Pierce'so delivery there: "If you can't trust a Swiss banker, what has the world come to?"
Daniel Craig:
Got to agree with that playful scene in the train. It's a side of Bond that we haven't seen a lot during Daniel's tenure but it's a well-written scene executed perfectly by two great actors.
I do, although now that I think of it, the TB PTS also perfectly sums up the typical Bond traits even including the DB5.
Still going to go with GF, thanks for pointing that out.
We have all the time in the world.
He had no head for heights.
Whoever she was. I must have scared the living daylights out of her.
Dr. Kaufmann: Wait I'm just a professional doing a job.
Bond: Me too!
Who sent you? Who are you working for?
"That's a Smith & Wesson - and you've had your six."
Lazenby: OHMSS - Christmas Carnival.
"There's people after me."
Moore: The Spy Who Loved Me - Egypt.
"What a helpful chap."
Dalton: The Living Daylights - Confronting Pushkin.
"Correct. You should have brought lillies."
Brosnan: GoldenEye - PTS.
"For England, Alec."
Craig: Casino Royale - 00 Status.
"Yes.... Considerably."
GL: The helicopter ride to Piz Gloria: "I'm not much of a sporting man."
RM: In LALD, the hotel room: encounter with the snake and meeting Rosie. I love Martin's score here.
TD: In LTK, the bar scene and fight--Bond's first encounter with Dario.
PB: In GE, the sauna scene with Xenia.
DC: In SF, having a drink with Severine. "Perfect."
I'l have to think a little more on this. Too many to choose from.
Bond's intro in Dr. No. Shooting Dent in cold blood. Coming face to face with Evil in YOLT.
Lazenby:
Sliding across the ice wielding a machine gun at Piz Gloria. "Guns make me nervous!"
Moore:
Sliding down the staircase railing during the palace fight in OP. Jumping off the cliff at the end of the PTS of TSWLM.
Dalton:
Clinging to the roof of a speeding vehicle travelling down the side of a mountain in TLD.
Brosnan:
Commandering a tank and taking a drive through St. Petersburg in GE.
Craig:
The ending of CR. Craig delivering the line dressed in that three-piece suit along with Arnold's score is a series highlight. A second scene would be the "What's Keeping You Awake?" scene onboard the plan with Mathis in QOS.
