    Two things I really liked about the QOS PTS:

    a) when Bond waits for the tractor to pass between himself and the baddie before he surprises him with a machine gun

    b) when the steel bumper(?) on the truck gets stuck in Bond's door and he pulls a 360 degrees turn to get it out, just avoiding an oncoming vehicle.

    Did anyone else see that? ;)

    Yes QOS has great moments, I really like QOS I understand the shaky camera issue but the rest, I really like it.

    Love the bit in OHMSS where Bond rips out his pockets to get some grip on the greasy cable. Very simple touch but very Flemingesque. I only wish they would have used the Rolex knuckleduster scene from the book as well.

    Brilliant Bond = The way a 57 year old Bond gets laid by four different birds in AVTAK.

    Man it sounds insane, but when I was in college there was this girl in my theatre group that I would have KILLED to date-- and she was with this guy that was Roger's age-- and he wasn't even handsome like good ol' Rog! This guy looked like Billy Bob Thornton!!

    Having experienced that made AVTAK at least a little believable, lol

    It couldn't have been creepier than Bond with Mayday...

    In the PTS of Octopussy, when Bond flies the AcroStar through the hangar doors at the last second, causing the heat-seeking missile to hit the closed doors and destroy the hangar. Oh yes, you know it!

    One of the most enthralling teasers of the entire series too, for whatever deficiencies Octopussy has, it at least has a very fine opening that is unparalleled with other Bond releases of the time

    Nobody mentioned the bit in Moonraker where Chiles and Moore are on the ambulance in Brazil and Moore manages to untie himself from the trolley without being detected and setting off the extinguisher was it with his feet, I thought that was quite neat

    @Baltimore_007: Even though Moonraker sits close to rock-bottom in my rankings, I do enjoy that ambulence bit, even though a few parts are kind of cheesy, like when the thug crashes into the billboard lady's mouth.
    Another brilliant Bond moment from OP that I have is when Bond hides himself in the body bags to escape the Monsoon Palace.

    Skyfall-
    When Bond shoots the fire extinguishers to block Silva's view of M. I love his little wink he gives to Mallory as he does it.

    - Bond lures Prof. Dent. This scene might be the greatest in the whole series.

    - Using the whistle to dispatch Whitaker.

    - Bond convincing Grant to open the briefcase.
