Goldfinger ... sigh:
1) Bond does not do much of anything. (And he's BOND for goodness' sakes!!)
2) Goldfinger gets sucked out of the plane (looks like a rubber chicken ...)
3) Bond's ridiculous face at the guard
4) Beatles sans earmuffs remark
5) Bond's decidedly unattractive terry cloth pool outfit
6) Slapping Dink and saying "man talk" (I think I am quoting it right) - annoying, even the first time I saw the film
And thelivingroyale, good mention of Live and Let Die (Paul rocks!)

Nice one, @Soundofthesinners . But I expected it to be Roger's cocked eyebrow! :P
Seriously, 0Brady, we are just having fun with you because of course people's music tastes are just personal. You and I will always disagree about The Beatles influence, quality, etc. Cest la vie. ("Try to see it my way, only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong ...") :D
If I could have one ability, it would be to do that with my eyebrow.
I agree they have had immense musical influence, I am just arguing that so many do it better for me.
Don't worry Brady, I understand compeletely. I am not fond of The Beatles either! Give me their counterpart, The Rolling Stones, anyday!
This list should be easy for me! It'll be finding its good moments that will be the impossible task!
5 Worst Moments in Goldfinger
1. Miss Galore's introduction on the plane (granted, any scene she's in, but especially her introduction. Ehhhhhllggg.....why would Bond ever try for her?)
2. Driving through Switzerland (this sequence drags terribly, and I find nothing exceptionally impressive about the Swiss mountains. They look rather drab to me!)
3. Oddjob getting the car demolished at the junk yard (again, this sequence drags tremendously, and really adds nothing to the movie whatsoever, except to establish the fact that Mr. Solo is indeed dead, and that Goldfinger double-crosses his partners, which obviously, we already knew!)
4. The barn romance scene (I already despise Miss Galore, so this scene was already doomed to make the list!)
5. The ending on Air Force One with Goldfinger (personally, this scene could have been extended and better played out- it ends much too quickly, and Goldfinger's death is just LAME)
Now you've gone and done it. http://mrselwyn.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/the-saint.jpg
Challenge.......ACCEPTED! It will be done! 20 is child's play for me, hahaha! ;)
Hahahaha, I see you find my tastes disturbing!
You might even be able to rack up at least 15 by the time Bond meets Draco. =))
It will most definitely be 15 by that time, if not more! Hahaha!

5 - The grape joke - not funny.
4 - (Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang should have been used either for the OT or the CT)
3 - A little too much coincidence involved in the SPA scenes.
2 - Water shooting out of the AM in the PTS and the poor transition to the OT sequence.
1 - PTS thugs just shoot randomly in the air instead of actually aiming at Bond.
5. The quirky cat and mouse game at the Spa.
4. The padding out where Bond just waits in the rocky cliff for Felix to pick him up.
3. The underwater climax being a little bit too long.
2. Felix's voice changed for a moment! (When they find the area where the Jet was camouflaged.)
1. Largo showing Bond around his house. (Oh come on, Largo know's who Bond is, why didn't he kill him as soon as he got to his house!?! The shotgun was pointed right at his face! this isn't Goldfinger.)
2. The tedious underwater scenes of SPECTRE removing the bombs from the plane and boarding them on the Disco Volante- could speed it up a little bit!
3. The jet pack- quite contraversial, I know, but I never have liked this; honestly, it seems a bit unlikely that he'd have a jet pack on reserve at an enemy's chateau, or even less likely that he'd know one was out there available and that he knew how to use it! It's unexplained and kind of stupid, I think. I'd have rather seen Bond fight his way out of the chateau like any normal 007 circumstance.
4. Count Lippe's poor assasination attempt- I mean really? One shot from a small revolver while cruising down the highway? Yeah, that'll get 007. Great thinking! Seeing TB for the first time years ago, I thought there was a terrific car chase ahead, and then I figure out that some chick on a motorcycle blows that hope away. I mean yeah, she's a looker, but we'll see enough of her in the movie. I want a car chase!
5. The underwater scene of SPECTRE moving the bomb into the secluded underwater cave- again, this is much too tedious; we already many a scene similiar to this in the beginning of the movie! Besides, after seeing such good plot advancement (Fiona and Vargas getting killed), this really brings things to a grinding halt.
2. Spa hijinks and padding.
3. Inexplicable jet pack! Cool and all, but too out of left field "Oh, no! Bond is being chased! Jet pack nevermind!"
4. Violence against women
5. Bond only rarely feeling "in danger" throughout the movie. Seriously, he runs roughshod over the villains with one brief exception.
