Iconic Bond moments

Post by carl stromberg »

What are the most iconic Bond moments for you:

When I think of Bond, I think of:

Oddjob's hat;
The underwater lotus;
Connery's car on Goldfinger
Sir Roger's TSWLM ski-jump
Bring back Bond!

The PCS of Goldfinger where he unzips the wetsuit to reveal a tux underneath.

Blofeld's lair in YOLT.

The classic line `Bond, James Bond.'
The now infamous line `Do you expect me to talk...'
The ejector seat
Moore's ski jump


Notice we've all picked 60's and 70's moments. Do you think in years to come, the 80's, 90's and 00's will have iconic moments that stood the test of time?

As much as I like the Dalton films, I cannot recall any iconic moments from them, nor can I from the 80's Moore flicks, the 90's Brosnan flicks, or CR (bit too early to judge Brosnan's and Craig's right now, as they are too recent).

I think when you say "James Bond" to most people, they think of the Connery and, to a lesser extent, Moore eras. The 60's really defined the Bond formula, and even the most popular 70's Bond film, TSWLM, has been called a "greatest hits" package. It's possible that a future Bond film may create images as instantly recognisable as the ones we've mentioned, but the way things stand at the moment, they would probably be vetoed as "unrealistic".

It simply has to be Goldfinger with the laser. Along with Pleasance as Blofeld.

This two, together with TSWLM ski jump and line "all this feathers and he still can't fly". I would also exchange Ursula's sea scene for Halle Berry's one.
