This thread is simple. It's for cataloging all the moments in this wonderful series that make us think, "Only James Bond could do that!" or "This must be a Bond film!" Lists can be by film, actor, or in no order at all. If I may start the festivities, I shall proceed with a list:

Dr. No: Bond introduces himself, Honey exits the water, Bond and Dr. No eat dinner.

From Russia With Love: SPECTRE island, Bond and Tanya in bed, Bond vs. Grant.

Goldfinger: The entire PTS, the golden girl, the inaugural Q scene (I know he was in FRWL, but this is the first extended scene in the lab). Oddjob decapitates the statue, the car chase, the laser table, Bond vs. Oddjob.

Thunderball: the meeting of SPECTRE higher-ups, the plane hijacking, all things Fiona Volpe, underwater battle.

You Only Live Twice: Bond meets Tanaka, Little Nellie, the volcano lair, Blofeld's reveal, the final battle.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service: Bond investigates the banker's apartment, all things Piz Gloria, especially the escape. I want to put the ending on so badly, but it's not quite Bondian. Still, it's beautiful enough to deserve a mention.

Diamonds are Forever: Bond "kills" Blofeld, Bond vs. Peter Franks, Tiffany Case's first scene, Bond at the Whyte House.

Live and Let Die: Bond steps on the alligators, the boat chase.

The Man with the Golden Gun: "Speak now, or forever hold your piece," the car flip (minus slide whistle).

The Spy Who Loved Me: The Union Jack parachute, "What a helpful chap," Bond vs. Jaws, "Egyptian builders," the Lotus, Bond and Anya discussing her lover's death, the final battle, Jaws vs. shark.

Moonraker: Corinne's death, "I believe he's attempting re-entry."

For Your Eyes Only: Bond kicks Locque's car off the cliff, Bond and Melina are keelhauled, Bond goes rock climbing.

Octopussy: the opening chase, Orlov vs. Gogol, the auction, Bond as a clown.

A View to a Kill: Zorin's estate, Mr. Chang's dropping out.

The Living Daylights: the PTS, Necros vs. agent, Bond vs. Necros.

Licence to Kill: Bond and M at the Hemingway House, Bond kills Sanchez.

GoldenEye: Base jump off the dam, Severnaya's destruction, tank chase, Bond and Alec are reunited, Bond vs. Alec.

Tomorrow Never Dies: PTS, Bond vs. Kaufman, car chase.

Casino Royale: PTS, parkour chase, Bond wins at poker, Bond's car flips, Bond is forcibly sterilized, Vesper's death, ending scene.

Quantum of Solace: Bond on the plane, Bond at the opera, ending scene.

Skyfall: Silva's entrance, Tennyson run, ending scene.

Any other moments that I forgot, or that shouldn't have been included? Each actor's best moments? Comment away!
