Top 3 Best Bond Film Endings

How about discussing the top Bond film endings/final acts?

The discussion isn't about the any other part of the film EXCEPT the ending/final act. As such, an ending by itself could be on the other spectrum of 'satisfaction' when comparing it to the rest of the movie.

Skyfall in my opinion has somewhat of a weak ending/final act. So i don't rate in my top three endings.

Saw LTK again last night, and i must say, that is the BEST ending out all the Bond films imo.
I think the film took in into overdrive in the last act, with Bond's laser like focus on revenge and didn't let go. The ending had heroic moments, ghastly moments (cocaine shredder anyone??), hilarious moments totally out of left field (car on fire barely missing Pam's plane in midair) and the most apt demise for a villian (mixed feelings here as Sanchez is my fave villian in the entire series.)

all of this on a rather boring backdrop of a two lane mountain road in a dessert, the action and acting out of necessity has to deliver and doesnt dissapoint as it leaves you totally pumped up and thoroughly entertained imo.

In other words, LTK has the perfect final act.

Casino Royale comes in 2nd.

    my personal favourite ending is where M says to Bond (DC) come back to me Bond, and he stops, turns round
    and says I never left (oh some one pass me the box of Kleenex)
    By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?

    In terms of the final scene, not the whole last third of the movie:

    1) On Her Majesty's Secret Service
    2) You Only Live Twice
    3) Goldfinger
