Number 100
"Bond… James Bond."Movie: Dr. No (1962)
Although these iconic words were first uttered in Dr. No, they have become as intrinsic to Bond films as high-speed car chases and sexual innuendos. It’s no wonder the line was recently included in an American Film Institute special celebrating the 100 greatest movie quotes of all time.
Number 99
"Shocking. Positively shocking.
"Movie: Goldfinger (1964)
Unlike those of us who cower in fear at the slightest hint of danger, James Bond generally becomes wittier as his situation becomes more perilous. This particular quote is delivered after agent 007 manages to escape by savagely electrocuting an assailant.
Number 98
"I think he got the point.
"Movie: Thunderball (1965)
Bond’s wit is almost as dry as his martinis. That’s particularly evident in this vivid sequence in which he delivers a first-class quip after shooting a villain with a spear gun.Number 97
"A martini. Shaken, not stirred.
"Movie: Goldfinger (1964)
Although agent 007 may laugh in the face of death, one thing he never takes lightly is his drinking. Then again, if your job involved ventilating bad guys with a Walther P99, you might turn to the bottle as well. Here he shows off his remarkable palate by ordering his signature drink.Number 96
Log cabin girl: "Oh James, I cannot find the words.
"Bond: "Well, let me try and enlarge your vocabulary.
"Movie: The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Whether piloting a jet pack or terminating a henchman, Bond is never at a loss for words. Here he demonstrates his command of his mother tongue yet again while enjoying a tender moment with a woman in a log cabin.Number 95
Sir Donald Munger: "Tell me, Commander, how far does your expertise extend into
the field of diamonds?"James Bond: "Well, hardest substance found in nature, they cut glass, suggest marriages, I suppose it replaced the dog as the girl's best friend. That's about it."Movie:
Diamonds are Forever (1971)
Although he may be an expert in the art of seduction, Bond knows surprisingly little when it comes to the diamond industry. Here he plays up his limited knowledge with a touch of self-deprecating wit.
