My fave has gotta be John Terry's first line:

What're you trying to do, 007? Start World War III?!?

:tup: So classic. Terry was an amazing Felix.

NOT!!!!

:tup:

Anyway, I used to really like Hedison's little moment in LTK, when he fills Della in on why Bond's not playing along with the garter thing. I felt like he showed some real compassion for this close friend of his who was robbed of the experience of a long, joyful marriage like the one he'd now got. And it was all the more tragic when I knew what would be happening in the very next scene.

But Wright's Felix was really a revelation...the best Felix since Jack Lord, to say the least, and QOS may propel him firmly into first place. He only had a few great moments in CR, but they were really memorable, and I can't see QOS not living up to what was begun. This moment that tdalton mentioned is as close as I can get to calling my fave:

My favorite Felix Leiter moment is when he orders the martini in CASINO ROYALE. Wright's delivery of the line "My friend, bring me one as well, keep the fruit" is classic, and his reaction when he sees how annoyed Le Chiffre has become is also great.


Couldn't agree more.
