4. The plane of glass under the spider.
3. "There's a dragon!"
2. Gunbarrel sequence wackiness
1. Bond theme overuse
5. "Full steam ahead!" - From Dr No's guards; even though he's dropped his microphone, the dubbing sounds like he's talking through said microphone
4. "Fetch my shoes" - uncomfortable by todays standards.
3. Car chase backprojection -
2. In particular; watch Connery's hands he's turning the steering wheel when he's going straight!
1. Monty Norman's music is that of 30's style stage show
Good one, that, @royale65! :D
4. Bad voice dubbing in certain spots.
3. Fetch My Shoes.
2. Dragged out scenes.
1. Monty Norman's score. sans the Bond theme.
4. Overuse of the Bond theme
3. Every other piece of Normans very dated score
2. Back projection
1. The audio syncing of the guy in the boat with the megaphone. Can't stand that!
It was tricky to come up with those five, I must admit.
I can't think of any. The only thing I hate is that Quarrel dies, but I can hardly blame the film for that since it made me love the character in the first place.
001 Monty Norman score (specially the theme at the end; even so, I missed his Dr No's fantasy because that was an interesting song)
002 M saying MI7
003 Having a Q that isn't played by Desmond Llewelyn
004 The rear projection in the car chase
005 The death of Strangways secretary (it looks very cheap and bad performed)
I don't get all the hate for the projection during Bond's chase with the Three Blind Mice. Those screens are all a part of the charm of the films at the time, in and outside of Bond.

Yes I love that scene too. It's extremely effective in it's creepiness. Didn't make my top five but definitely an honorable mention.
Best moments
#1 Introduction of James Bond to the cinema screen
#2 Ursula Andress comes out of the ocean
#3 Dinner date with Dr No and the discussion
#4 Spider in the bed
#5 Fight with Dr No at Crab Key near the very end
2) Dr. No orders Dent to kill Bond with the spider :-SS
3) Dinner with Dr. No
4) "I admire your luck, Mr...?"
5) Honey Rider exits the water and enters our hearts 8->
and then we had our hearts broken by that awful Berry appearance 40 years later in Die Another Day in a direct reference to the legendary Andress appearance. If that wasn't enough harm done, even Bond himself got in on it in Casino Royale. That's twice it's been spoiled now. You do have to wonder, who, or what, will be up next for this
"Come on in, Mr. Bond- the water's fine... MWAHAHAHA!"
And I, for one, am quite relieved I did not see Silva in a Speedo!

5) The gypsy sub-plot is perhaps a bit stretched out in places.
4) The wall mine special effects, which is mostly a strange coloured light spectacle.
3) "Spectre Island" I think this could have been a great concept but it's too underused.
2) The cue from Norman's DN score that invaded Barry's score when the helicopter comes down (and also during the boat climax: see '1)')
1) The boat climax: a bit of an afterthought, not really required.
Again, I'm forcing myself into coming up with a selection. This is really tough. ;-)
