Well it's Thanksgiving and here in the states that can only mean one thing. It's Bond marathon time. Thank you spike TV for creating that tradition. 
With that in mind, it is time to hear your favorite scenes from Goldfinger.
1) I love the whole scene when Bond meets Jill Masterson and catches Goldfinger cheating at cards. Just classic. First he taps into his earpiece ( just priceless ) Then forces him to lose. Of course this all leads to Jill getting covered in gold paint
2) When Bond is on the laser table. first the slow movement of the laser through the gold then one of the greatest lines in the entire franchise ( IMHO ) " Do you expect me to talk " " No Mr Bond, I expect you to die "
3) The fight scene with Odd Job in Fort Knox. Bond Can't out muscle Odd Job so he has to out smart him. The electrocution was classic Bond
Once again Happy Thanksgiving -{

It would be a quiet scene, when Bond is standing, overlooking Goldfinger's Rolls in the Swiss Alps. Camera pans back, and we see Bond is being watched also. I love the quiet, with the sound of the cow bells. Very atmospheric.
Plenty of good scenes, the intro of the Aston Martin is a corker, and Q branch looks its best (it was blink and miss it seen in DAF, then unconvincingly on location in TSWLM and MR but only looked its grimy self again in NSNA ironically).
And "Colonel Smithers is giving the lecture 007" as the poor bloke the Beatles mocked on the train in A Hard Day's Night explains how the price of gold varies from place to place, as the brandy moves around to sort mirror his point.

Love the Aston - not the gadgets so much as the screen time it gets just driving.
To be honest Hardyboy sums it up perfectly - the death scenes are rubbish at Fort Knox, and I don't like Felix Leiter. Also the girl pilots look daft in their uniforms... Otherwise, perfect...

Reflections in a double bourbon...
As usual TP, you hit all the spots....
And TSA is right....the DB5 is beautiful without the gadgets....
One of my favourite scenes which may not be as memorable to others is this,
Colonel Smithers: Have a little more of this rather disappointing brandy.
M: What's the matter with it?
James Bond: I'd say it was a 30-year-old fine, indifferently blended, sir... with an overdose of bon-bois.
M: Colonel Smithers is giving the lecture, 007.
I mainly drink brandy, and have always wanted to use that line :007)
The laser table scenes!
The way how Goldfinger presents his plan to his investors!
The South Beach Fontauinebleau scenes!
The Kentucky scenes!
But what gets me really excited is when he enters the DB5 in Switzerland. The probaly most breathtaking car (together with the Miura) in the Swiss Alps - Nothing can go wrong for me!
So far, I did not find a Brandy, which I like. I find it acceptable in Whisky Sour but purely, I prefer Single Malts :v
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
I have one more little problem with GF - the duck on Bond's head in the otherwise brilliant PTS. I also agree with all the highlights mentioned in this thread.
I could imagine her as a guard at one of the death camps in ww2.
In regards to Felix, Goldfinger was the first Bond movie I saw and so, I had no idea who the character was. He was OK until I saw Dr. No later that year on a re-release. Then I wondered "what were they thinking?"
1. The laser table
2. The golf game
3. The PTS
For me the best scenes are the golf game between Connery and Goldfinger.
" I own the club Mr Bond " Just classic
2. For some reason I just love the scene where M was giving Bond a dressing down for "borrowing" Goldfinger's girlfriend
This one is easy to pick. The DB5 scenes. To this day the DB5 is my favorite car. It just looks perfect driving through the mountains. Aston Martin has yet to make a modern version of this car in terms of looks and dimensions.
The golf game.
The scene with M and Colonel Smithers.
Can't leave out the 'laser table scene' as it gives us one of the most famous lines in a Bond movie.
The scene with Q, really the first 'Q lab scene' in Bond history.
The drive in Switzerland ("Discipline 007, discipline")
But my favourite scene is a very small one.... Bond in his cell at Goldfinger's ranch.
"It means I'm damned good secretary!"
"I'm so glad..."
Brilliant stuff.
