Wow, put me on the spot, Som..
I'm actually quite partial to the boat chase/crash/explosion in the beginning of World Is Not Enough, but for real human stuff, the one on one fight early on in On Her Majesty's Secret Service still makes me gasp.
I don't remember the one from Her Majesty's Secret Service. Now I'm going to have to try and watch it to see what you're refering to.
I always liked the one on the cable car in 'Moonraker' (yeah I know) plus the car roll from Man with the Golden Gun.
However the Hercules, jeep, raft thing from Living Daylights is probably my fav....

Could be. I hazard a guess and suggest that it was probably the same stunt men working on both anyway... Still good :D

I really enjoyed the villan(Robert Shaw).
Very well crafted Bond movie. Although Bond doesn't have too many action scenes throughout. 'Mostly he's just being a bad ass with good taste in Woman.
Here are my favorites...so far.
-The Spy Who Loved Me
-Moonraker(what can I say, Roger Moore rocks)
-From Russia with Love
I really hated Live, and let Die. My only disappointing Bond film so far.
What are your favorites?
Now For Your Eyes Only, which followed Moonraker, was pretty good for Moore, but the best Bond films, by and large, are the Connery films and of them Goldfinger, From Russia With Love and of course Thunderball are the most preeminent of all Bond. Nothing yet compares to them, although a few have gotten close.

Objectively, I thought Goldeneye was easily up there with the Connery Bonds.
Subjectively, Tomorrow Never Dies has my favourite Bond girl of all time in Wai Lin (Though, Domino in Thunderball blows me the **** away
).Double D'oh! Chrisisall

Don't be so hard on Moonraker. When it played in the theaters in 1979 it looked pretty awesome. This was 2 years before the actual first Space Shuttle flight in 1981. Although not my favorite Bond movie, it ranks high on my list mainly due to the special effects, sultry Lois Chiles, and the opening free-fall scene.

Yeah man, what the hell?
Roger Moore IS Bond!!! Where's the love? I aint feelin it. At least most of his Bond flicks had a really good fun factor. Of all other Bond movies a current quote from another popular movie:
"Why so serious?"

Best line of the movie....final scene....Bond is on top of Dr. Goodhead under the sheets inside the shuttle....M asks Q what's Bond doing? Q replies it appears he's attempting re-entry....pretty risque for 1979!

One of my favorites is DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER. Even though DR. NO was the one that started it all, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE is now rightfully considered one of the best, and GOLDFINGER perfected the formula, DIAMONDS is my favorite of the Connery Bonds, since it has my all time favorite stunt, where he shoots some grappling hooks onto the ledge of the hotel and then leaps off. Sounds incredibly simple, but it always takes my breath away. Plus it has the narrator from ROCKY HORROR as Blofeld, and two duo henchmen (Bambi and Thumper and Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd) that are iconic.
And I'm surprised that DIE ANOTHER DAY was the Bond film that made them consider doing a reboot. Especially since it came after THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH, which is IMHO the WORST Bond film ever made. I heard even Pierce Brosnan couldn't understand the plot of the film. If they wanted to do the reboot after WORLD, I would have gotten it, but not after DIE ANOTHER DAY which was highly entertaining.
