Agreed! One of my favorites as well.
As for the newer movies, the fight with Obanno (I think that's his name?) in CR was pretty brutal, and the choreography of the fight was excellent.
The latter is definitely one of Bond's brilliant kills, where he uses his mind over a Q gadget or a weapon he is currently using.
You know, that whole plane scene could have made a great PTS if it wasn't used in CR already! An intense chase and action scene, capped off with a brilliant kill! Camera stops on Bond's smile and BAM- opening credits! :D
Now there's a good topic! Bond's best kills of nameless characters! I'm sure we could come up with thousands! One of mine would be the Emile Locque thug who is up in the loft thing in the warehouse, and he keeps shooting at Bond and Colombo, and finally Bond takes him out with one pistol shot from between the barrels the thug was hiding behind. Epic Roger Moore kill!
If I stay with it long enough now I may indeed get to that bit but needless to say know all Bond releases back to front and inside out for the most part so know what's going to happen, Moore's about to rescue some captive crew members at the moment and seems immune to bullets and gunfire in his general direction for some reason but the Stromberg killing is yet to come, it's arguably one of Moore's most ruthless 007 moments along with the Locque moment in FYEO, none of the childish ass clowning around in later films, just a harsh reality and cold bloodedness as what you'd tend to expect from James Bond.
I was thinking reading this that perhaps Connerys best kill was on the tarantula in the hotel room, great piece of action and unintentionally hilarious.
Most Bond head villains had lame exits, Kananga, Zorin, Kristatos, Kamal Khan etc and their downfalls sometimes were their own doing, but when Bond was involved it didn't have to be cold blooded kills, i.e. I enjoyed the Whitaker death in Daylights, Drax in Moonraker and so on, is there a best Bond kill though?, I suppose they all worked in their own way, I've actually been more impressed with some Bond bad types disposing of threats and enemies than Bond himself actually doing the killing if I'm honest
Donald "Red" Grant in FRWL

Does that count? His death was more a consequence of Bond's actions than a direct kill.
You could say that about a lot of Bond's kills.
He didn't kill Silva, the knife did.
He didn't kill Sanchez, the flame and explosion did
He didn't kill Dr. No, the acid did.
He didn't kill Goldfinger, the cabin pressure did
He didn't kill Grant, the garrote did
And so on. You can find a loophole around everything. It's the old "people don't kill people, guns kill people" argument.
With Elvis, Bond caused a fire that Elvis ended up dying in. It probably still counts but it's not as, let's say direct, as some of the others.

You are right. I'm just being difficult. ;)
He did die in QOS. So that's why I put him on the list.
DN - Professor Dent
TB - Vargas
CR - Section Chief Dryden
I actually think the reported death of Dominic Greene in QOS was great. If left a lot to the imagination.
Here's some of the coldest kills:
# Mr Wint / Diamonds are Forever
# The knife throwing twin (log cabin) / Octopussy
# Karl Stromberg / The Spy Who Loved Me
# Necros / The Living Daylights
# Francisco Scaramanga / The Man with the Golden Gun
# Leopold Locque - For Your Eyes Only
# Professor Dent - Dr No
# Peter Franks / Diamonds are Forever
# Oddjob / Goldfinger
# Victor Zokas / The World Is Not Enough
