    For me, the best looking modern Bond film.

    Great choices. Nice angle in the hotel, and I was gonna use that last one of Bond driving away from Greene, but picked the oil can throw instead just to have a bit of fun.

    Despite my lack of love for QOS, it has a plethora of great shots to choose from.
    After my most recent viewing (last night) I feel it could jump considerably up my overall rankings. When I've finished the Craig era, I'll re-evaluate.

    Unfinished business.

    So many great ones had already been chosen, yet it was still difficult to limit my choices to five.

    It's very difficult. Lots of gorgeous frames. I'd put it out there that QoS probably has the best selection of establishing shots in the series. The way we are introduced to each location is beautiful. It's a shame they slapped on those (admittedly not ugly) title cards for some of them.

    Anyway, like yourself @GoldenGun, I tried to pick the "best of the rest" and still ended up with about seven shots. Here's my five:

    Quantum is a gorgeous looking film, it was tough to pick just 5.

    Edited. Thanks @QBranch and cheers for the tips @CraigMooreOHMSS

    I really love Craig's rugged casual look throughout the film. His hair was great, too.

    Sorry about the quality of the last two pictures, screenmusings.org is great but the quality of the images isn't perfect.

    When you've got the page of the image you want from ScreenMusings open, click on the link at the bottom of the image (the one that has the resolution included in it). It will open up the image in a new window, in full resolution for you.

    I'm kicking myself for not participating in this thread way earlier. Too many great shots to pick from in QoS but I think my favorite will be one you posted, @CraigMooreOHMSS.

    Thanks for waiting. This movie is a feast for my eyes (at least when my brain can send the signal before the next cut...)

    I would have loved to add some more pictures of the fire in the end. It looks so dangerous and beautiful at the same time. I somehow really feel the heat there. I wonder how much of the fire was CGI? It looks great, in my opinion and definitely increases the tension.

    I'd love to pick my own selections but not about to hold up the game another day considering I haven't participated before. Love the idea though!

    +1. One of the best shots of the series, just for aesthetics but also its deeper meaning.

    QOS got a lot of hate from some, when it really brought a lot of love.
