Best Non-Fleming novel: Never read one
Best Connery movie: FRWL
Best Lazenby movie: OHMSS
Best Moore movie: LALD
Best Dalton movie: LTK
Best Brosnan movie: GE
Best Craig movie: CR
Best car: 1964 Ford Country Squire Station Wagon. My grandfather kept a nearly identical car in the same color running until he passed away. His had an AM radio and deluxe hubcaps, though. And a rod and gun rack where the rear seat used to be (he removed it).
Best Bond car: Aston-Martin DB5.
Best gun: MBA Gyrojet Rocket Pistol. World's coolest gadget gun in real life, even if ammo costs $75 a shot (more if you've the 13mm version) and has to be fired in humidity so heavy that it might as well be a downpour.
Best Bond Gun: Walther PP. Doubles for the PPK in DN and is more ergonomic.
Best Tux: DN; introduces us to Bond's character
Best suit: My g/f says I have no taste in suits.
Best Bond girl: Aki
Best Felix: Jack Lord
Best villain: Alec Trevelyan
Best screamer: Stacey Sutton
Best henchman: Rosa Klebb was technically a henchman of Blofeld...
Best sadism: Sophie Marceau in TWINE
Best gadget: The MBA Gyrojet Rocket Guns, since they worked (albeit only with FMJ ammo and couldn't really blow up anything)
Best score: LALD
Best editing: The only Bond film where I was looking for continuity errors and found very few egregious ones was TSWLM (for its time, it really looked like they were trying).
Best direction: I've never really given this thought.
Best miniature FX: TSWLM, gotta agree
Best gag: "He was right, you know..." (Bond, eyes popping out his head looking at the film of him and Tanya in FRWL...subtle, yet hilarious, especially if you think about it...)
Best rat: The second one on the left, third row in FRWL stole the entire scene.
Best genre-savvy line: "[Beat]. No. We're in the middle of a Soviet air base in Afghanistan." (Bond reacting to Kara Milovy's "We're free!" line in TLD; one of the two best lines Dalton delivered during his tenure as Bond...)
Best Aircraft: Little Nellie
Best Unintentionally Funny Moment: Kananga's death in LALD.
Best Non-Fleming novel: Colonel Sun
Best Connery movie: GF
Best Lazenby movie: OHMSS

sorry Minigeff, Moore never went to Rio in FyEO, it went to the Greek Islands. In moonraker he went to Rio, so you must be thinking about Manuela who nearly gets killed by Jaws dressing up as a clown. i would have counted her as more of a Bond girl, because he sleeps with her....

Hello, xboy614. I didn't choose this moment for any rude connotations, which I've noted has been alluded to by other members on separate threads. The scene amuses me because of the sped up action & Connery's reactions - a rare moment of poor acting on his part. It just seems a bit silly, much like the sped-up fight with Largo on the Disco Volante at the end of the same film. It was a toss-up between the two really.
Ironically, ONE PORTION of this scene came in a close second to my own best unintentionally funny moment (Kananga's death in LALD)...the part where Connery shouts "Help! Haaaaaaaaalllllppppp!" is pretty funny.
