Who do YOU give 11/10? (final appreciation)

They are good. They are all good. Everyone who's ever worked on the Bonds - well, <i>nearly</i> everyone - is good, but some are still better than others. They deserve more than 10/10: you'd give them 11/10 if you could. Well, madam or sir, you <i>can</i>, and this is the thread where you can do it.
So here's the bargain: each day (or two - depending on my agenda ;)) ) we walk though another film in the franchise and you pick that one person - I said <b>one</b> (:| - whom you think deserves the mathematically incorrect privilege of getting an 11/10. Mind you, this isn't a contest, just a matter of getting your special friend from this or that Bond film mentioned once again.

Why is it apparently never enough for people to simply give all they have got, which is 10/10, or 100%? Why 11 out of 10? That is like giving 110%, simply impossible!
... just wondering...
no one, not even himself could imagine the wheels of a franchise that were about to be set into motion - and it became the instant standard bearer for all action adventure films to follow.... other Bond films came along that might be better - but this is where it started, and i believe all the credit in the world goes to Terrence Young for making it happen...
- and he was also helped write the original screenplay for the film as well - but goes uncredited.
for creating the ahead of their time main titles and for coming up with the gunbarrell logo that has endured throughout.
If you have 1 bar of chocolate, the 110% means the complete bar plus an additional 10%.
(Terence Young) Ditto. You hit the nail on the head.
Seriously, Hans Gruber in Die Hard seems like the perfect Bond villain.
On topic,
Gonna go with an 11/10 for Wiseman.
but i think I have to go with Perdo Armendariz as Kerim Bey - he was an overly charismatic character - one that you naturally felt bad when he died (kind of like Mathis in the recent films).. he's definitely one of my favorite Bond allies, not only because of his humor and charm - but because he managed to weave his sons into everything in Instanbul - that's quite a legacy lol...
but the man himself worked through a serious fight with cancer to be a part of this film - sadly though, he couldn't finish all of his scenes and had to quit filming - he later lost his fight with cancer - dying at the age of 51.
Special acknowledgement goes to Robert Shaw and Pedro Armendariz.
Very close : Robert Shaw.
