The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Moonraker (1979)
While there are other good moments in this movie, there is one that I absolutely have to talk about and officially dub it the best Bond moment of this movie. Bond travels the Amazon river and makes it into Hugo Drax’s secret base. Inside, he’s surrounded by many beautiful women who all smile and wave at him. Bond is then thrown into a small pool in the room. As he tries to escape, a giant python pulls him back into the water and tries to kill him. The struggle lasts until Bond removes a pen knife from his pocket and kills the snake. I chose this moment because it is gleaming with subtext and every psychiatrist in America that has ever seen this film probably died from laughter. Think about it.
For Your Eyes Only (1981)
Now the relationship between Bond and Blofeld is not done a lot of justice in this moment. It’s a very over the top and silly sequence, but given that it’s Roger Moore’s only interaction with the Blofeld character that is to be expected. I just couldn’t bring myself to leave the death of Bond’s archenemy off this list.
