Your Favourite Last Five Minutes In Bond Movies?

Forget the overall quality (or lack therof), which movie's last five minutes rocked?

My top five fivers:
QOS (What a great final line)
DAF (Bombe surprise)
LALD (That laugh!)
GF (Undercover)
YOLT (Scooped up by a sub)
Dalton & Connery rule. Brozz was cool.

    My favorite would be CR. It truly marked Daniel Craig's arrival as James Bond.

    OHMSS would be a close second.

    I also liked the finale of QoS quite a bit, and agree about the last line.

    Daniel Craig's Bonds seem to have very good endings.

    Hmmm, would 'last five minutes' include the underwater kiss? If so I must revise my own list.

    Wow, great thread. I agree that the D Craig endings are fab.
    Noone has mentioned Moonraker - attempting re-entry.
    Or how about Mrs Thatcher in FYEO? Hehehe.

    Overall, I loved Skyfall. Awesome.

    Got to add TLD. Love Kara finding him in her room and the whole thing segueing into John Barry's music. Finishes the film off nicely.

    Let's hear some love for the last five minutes of Goldfinger--one last fight, Goldfinger sucked out of a window, an airplane crash, and an avoidance of a rescue. All great stuff!

    The ending of OHMSS probably had the biggest impact on me of any Bond film. As painful as it is, I had to put it on the list because it's such a standout.

    OHMSS - Humor (St. Bernard), happiness (wedding), tragedy (Tracy's death) -- it's all there.
    CR - The last 60 seconds are all you need. Surprise gunshot, Bond standing over his prey, Bond theme kicks in.
    FRWL - Klebb's shoe, Bond looking worn out after the fight, then gorgeous Venice backdrop.
    SF - The padded door and new/old Mallory/Messervy M. Gave me goosebumps when I first saw it.
    GE - Pierce and Isabella are having so much fun, it almost feels like they're ad-libbing.
    Hilly...you old devil!

    FRWL.- Rosa Klebb fight, then the gondola.
    OHMSS.- Bond's wedding,then Tracy's murder.Very emotional,very well played by Lazenby.I always felt this closed the first chapter in Bond series.
    FYEO.- Throwing the Attack off Meteora, and Thatcher call.
    TLD.-Fight with Whittaker,then Kara's concert.Bond showing true affection for the Bond girl. Key in Dalton's Bond.
    CR.- The job is done and the bitch is dead, then shooting Mr.White.

    Very true, many of us seem to like it. Proves that Lazenby was not such a disaster after all. That's possibly one of the most difficult scenes to pull off in any Bond movie.

    my favourite ending is Craig saying your Canadian secret service you have a leak ect ect
    M says come back to me Bond ,and he says I never left ,gets me every time ,the best ending of all Bond films
    No witty remarks, no sexual inuendos, no look at me ive just saved the world ,just good old fashioned intelligence work, :v
    By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?
  • AlphaOmegaSinAlphaOmegaSin EnglandPosts: 10,926MI6 Agent
    Concerning Tracy's Death, I've always held this Scene in high Regard. It shows us that bond is not a Superhero, and can also be affected by loss -{

    Well, I have to disagree. Although I like TB, I think the ending is a mess--obvious back-screen projection, the death of Largo a near repeat of the death of Klebb, the action so sped up it's like watching a 1915 Keystone Kops comedy. . .and while Bond refused to get rescued in Goldfinger to spend some time with Pussy Galore, he sacrifices his time with Domino to catch a ride with a plane!

    As a kid I used to wonder how the hell was Bond supposed

    End of Thunderball ! :D
