    All alone or late at night would be my only two picks. At the cinema during release weekend is great too (the best) but only comes around once every so often.

    2) Alone, on a rainy day
    3) At a theatre, in the best seat in the house, with a quiet (meaning no cell phones, no talking), appreciative audience (appropriate cheering is ok!)

    6) On an airplane with headphones firmly on (makes any flight better)

    Glad to see that creativity is alive and well here on MI6.

    6) In the theater seeing it for the second time.
    5) Privacy please. I just want to be alone and escape for a bit.
    4) With my favorite friend of the female variety.
    3) Include a couple of adult beverages. Not too much. I don't want to get drunk and lose my focus.
    2) In the theater seeing it for the first time.
    1) With Christopher Walken.

    6 - DAD imprisonment, Bond's release was negotiated.

    5 - Tiger helicopter self-destruct protocol.

    4 - GF's laser table.

    3 - Bullet from Moneypenny, somehow survived. Close one no doubt.

    2 - Fire rampage in the Dunes hotel, big luck the gas tank revealed itself.

    1 - Torture by LeChiffre, unexpected rescue from White.

    7. Bond in the coffin in DAF. Instead of 2.

    Inevitably these will involve times when Bond is only saved by someone else's intervention. Here are six I think would definitely otherwise have killed him:

    CR - Torture by Le Chiffre

    LTK - Dangling over shredder which just ate Dario.

    DAF - The cremation

    QOS - Death by fire within a few seconds if the gas tank hadn't blown.

    CR - The poisoning by Valenka. Dead within seconds if not rescued.

    MR - The centrifuge. Chang was fully intent on killing him, just barely saved by a Q gadget.

    6. Stuck in the plane - GE

    6. Escaping Piz Gloria (OHMSS) #perhaps not the closest but certainly reflects threat
    5. Laser (GF) #the most classic
    4. The shredder (LTK) #the most painful
    3. Dirty Martini (CR) #no matter how many times I watch it, it still makes me afraid of losing 007
    2. Three (or seven?) more tics (GF) #imagine the fire of the nuclear devise
    1. The coffin (DAF) #there was no way to escape from that

    1. The coffin (DAF)
    2. The torture scene (CR)
    3. Bond being poisoned (CR)
    4. The lazer table (GF)
    5. Almost being killed by Largo on the Disco Valante (TB)
    6. The torture scene (TWINE)

    There are several more though.

    6- M dies. Silva accomplished his mission. Bond failed to do so despite killing Silva (we are talking about defeat, not "certain death", am I right?)

    5- Bond about to be drugged and taken to London to be court martialed and likely imprisoned for almost causing a MI6 mission to fail. Sanchez and his men knew about the mission, though, and thus, they unwillingly saved the man who would defeat them.

    4- A truck passed by when the 3 Blind Mice had Bond in target for an easy shot.

    3- Domino killed Largo when he was about to stab Bond. I think the mission was accomplished anyway, though, and so was when Columbo saved Bond from Kristatos. A kind of reversal from number 6.

    2- Bond and Holly have the great luck to see Jaws and Dolly passing by and willing to help. Otherwise, all four of them would have been killed.

    1- Blofeld shoot Osato instead of Bond. I still wonder why, but maybe for SPECTRE, like Fleming states in the novels, its honor as an evil society is over anything.

    1. One more screw in the torture chair.
    2. So how do we get back home, and by home, I mean Earth.
    3. Quit clowning around and remove that detonator.
    4. Le Chiffre: "Testes, testes, one, two ... three?"
    5. This laser should remove that bump Sean.
    6. If you're going to be eaten by a shark, may as well be tied to Caroline Bouquet.

    1. Patrice just missing hitting Bond full on with his killer bullets (SF)
    2. Bond on the lazer table (GF)
    3. Bond hanging over the grinding machine vs Dario (LTK)
    4. Tania luckily choosing to shoot Klebb instead of Bond (FRWL)
    5. Domino saving Bond from Largo harpooning him (TB)
    6. Pushkin and his men shooting Whitakers guard just when he was about to sneakily shoot Bond (TLD).

    Hmmm Brosnan didnt seem to have any major near death,needing to be saved,moments.
