FILM: Favourite film moment, ever?

That isn't even the best Bond moment. The best is in "A View to a Kill" when Christopher Walken's character starts gunning down all of his employees in the mine with an Uzi while laughing maniacally.

No, the best moment is in Dr. No. when Bond is questioning the scientist who just shot the bed of the female enemy agent, where he had been sleeping, full of holes. The scientist is sprawled on the rug not too far from the gun he dropped. Bond puts his own gun down on the table next to him while he casually messes around with a cigarette. The murderous scientist's hand slowly creeps toward the gun as he speaks, while Bond seems to have stopped paying attention, and then he lunges for it, brings it up to bear on Bond, and the gun clicks -- empty. Bond, never interrupting his own relaxed business, with utterly cool coldness, leisurely reaches for his gun after finishing lighting his cigarette, points it at the scientist, and says, "That's a Smith & Wesson. Your six are up." And fires.

Obviously Bond could have killed him in the beginning, but was just setting him up to screw himself over and doom himself. And to pay him back, Bond, after being a smartass and letting the terror sink in to the guy, took a methodical and completely unnecessary revenge on him. Why? Because he could. Because he didn't like the guy. Because he enjoyed the cruelty of the trap. And because he didn't like people f*cking with him. Screw either the morality or the utility of keeping the guy alive.

Now THAT was a Bond!
