Die Another Day
I wonder which, my fellow MI6'ers, you would choose? Fleming or Fantasy?
But with your permission I would like to recode your nominal classification into a continuous scale of the degree of fantasy, which is of course correctable according to your kind suggestions:
Degree of fantasy
+Moonraker, You Only Live Twice, Die Another Day
| The Man with the Golden Gun
| Live and Let Die
| Goldfinger
| Diamonds Are Forever
| The Spy Who Loved Me, Octopussy
| Dr No
| A View to a Kill, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough
| Thunderball, GoldenEye
| For Your Eyes Only, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall(?)
| From Russia With Love, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, The Living Daylights
- Casino Royale, Licence to Kill
However, it would be perhaps more appropriate - in methodology terms - to rank them according to pre-define variables like: number of gadgets, larger-than-life villain, plot plausibility, space-elements... etc. Then build and index and we can make the classification of fantasy.
-Diamonds Are Forever
-Live and Let Die
-The Man with the Golden Gun
-The Spy Who Loved Me
-A View to a Kill
-Tomorrow Never Dies
Villain's Hospitality:
-Dr. No
-Goldfinger
-Thunderball
-The Man with the Golden Gun
-Octopussy
-A View to a Kill
-License to Kill
I count four with Lazenby as well (Tracy, three women at Piz Gloria).

Nice list there. You can add add Luigi Ferrara (FYEO) to that
Totally forgot about Luigi in FYEO! Thanks for the reminder!
Perhaps I was thinking in terms of supernatural, voodoo and Samedi, but I think you're right and it deserves a lower fantasy degree.
By the way, Skyfall was temporary placed there because it wasn't released yet. Now I think it deserves this spot:
Degree of fantasy (revisited)
+Moonraker, Die Another Day
| You Only Live Twice
| The Man with the Golden Gun
| The Spy Who Loved Me, Diamonds Are Forever
| Live and Let Die
| Goldfinger
| Dr No, Octopussy

SkyFall Bond girl is difficult as there isn't one as such. Moneypenny would place easily in the Agent group where as Severine would place in the Damsel in Distress category (in my opinion)
I think he has one in OHMSS and I do believe Bond has one on in the climax of Skyfall (as he is preparing for a fight with Silva).

In AVTAK, when he comes in the morning to Zorin's office to select the horse. I believe in SF it maybe is a scarf, though I could be wrong.
Thank you sport!
