    Farewell to Arms in LTK (although, given where the scene was filmed, the reference was pretty obvious).

    The Third Man in the TLD fairground scenes. (Credit to TV Tropes for pointing that one out to me.)

    Scaramanga's funhouse is basically Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari meets House of Wax with a hint of Italian horror alla Mario Bava.

    Also LALD reminds me a lot of Italian horror too: voodoo, supernatural, the lighting and the overall weirdness.

    Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari is itself referenced in CR '67, durng the spy school scene.

    I reckon the train banter in CR is actually another reference to NBNW.
    For Hitchcock and From Russia With Love, that would be more Strangers on a Train.
    Don't think that's been mentioned.

    Bond himself references The Lion King in SF.

    And if the Prater and its big wheel is not a reference to The Third Man, it may well be.

    It would've been funny if Barry had implemented a zither for his scoring of the Viennese scenes of TLD.

    "References to other movies in Bond" ? May I comment on this but the other way around? Anyone seen "The Fate of the Furious"? Die Another Day references: The ice chase, Dominic's love child and his mother behind the glass and some scenes in Cuba. Can't remember if there are others. Too much to be a coincidence... Anyway, TFOTF is certainly a better film than DAD.

    never spotted this. kind of pointless really.

    I was hoping SF would have had more of a 39 Steps vibe when they reached Scotland but it didn't really happen and we got Home Alone/Straw Dogs instead

    Surprised Call Me Bwana wasn't mentioned here - it was produced by EON.

    Referenced in both the film and the game!

    Just off the top of my head

    -From Russia with Love, the poster in the sniper scene 'she should have kept her mouth shut'
    -On Her Majesty's Secret Service, references to the prior 007 films 'this never happened to the other fella'
    -Moonraker, the tune from Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the general aesthetic similarity to Star Wars
    -Octopussy, the Tarzan call
    -License to Kill, maybe this is a personal observation but I've always felt the plot bore some similarities to Miami Vice which was a popular show around that time
    -Casino Royale, jab at prior Bond films and their sophisticated manner of torturing Bond 'It's the simplest thing to cause a man more pain than he can possibly endure.'
    =Skyfall, chopper blaring the Animals, 'Apocalypse Now', 'You must be joking', reference to prior Q interactions, 'Don't touch your ear', Casino Royale, 'Were you expecting an exploding pen?', GoldenEye, 'It's the circle of life', maybe not an intentional reference but the phrase was popularized and is commonly associated with Lion King
    -SPECTRE, Day of the Dead opening, similar to Live and Let Die

    The boardroom scene (Blofeld's first appearance) in SPECTRE was clearly influenced by EYES WIDE SHUT, and the opening Day of the Dead tracking shot is a rip-off of a scene from I AM CUBA.

    The eyes in the SPECTRE main title sequence must be a reference to SPELLBOUND.

    Sorry to disagree but every single Fast & Furious movie is utter crap in my book. They are an insult to the word cinema.

    DN: Connery's introduction done like Paul Muni's in JUAREZ (1939)

    DAF: Bambi and Thumper from BAMBI (1942); Bambi, a Life in the Woods was the book on which the movie was based, but Thumper was not a character, so taken as a pair I guess the reference is for the film.

    LALD: Bond using a Smith and Wesson 44 Magnum, like DIRTY HARRY (1971).

    QOS: Guy Haines is one of the main characters from Hitch's STRANGERS ON A TRAIN (1951).

    A possible Never Send Flowers reference there too, of course. It's not a movie though (yet). ;)

    In AVTAK, the music that plays over the panoramic shot of the Eiffel Tower is a short up-tempo variation of the main theme of Until September, a film released the previous year, also set in Paris and also scored by John Barry.

    I love cars! Well, I love stylish cars. I don’t think any of the Fast & Furious cars would qualify as stylish, nor does the testosterone filled crassness of Vin Diesel and other ‘characters’.

    Well now they've gone one better and stolen the film title from another movie.

    Moonraker obviously acknowledges Close Encounters of the Third Kind with the theme being played

    I just hope Skyfall doesn't make reference to Justin Bieber: The Movie ;)

    The Spy Who Loved Me plays the theme to lawrence of arabia and doctor swivago sorry spelt that wrong
