Much was made of the cufflinks on the train moment. I admit having seen it 10,000 times in the trailers, it lost it's touch. What was the standout Bond Moment for you? I'm a huge fan of the novels so my favorites are those parts that seemed to come right out of the books.

1. Bond and Severine standing on the yatch as they sail towards Silva's Island/Bond and Silva walking out towards the Whiskey/Dualing pistols. To me this was as classic Bond as is gets. Bond, not tied up or anything, but walking around on his own, behind him, a half dozen henchmen forcing him into what Bond knows is exactly what he wants. Classsic. Straight out of the books. Strong Dr. No vibe.

2. Bond and Severine talking in the Casino. Totally classic. "Can you kill him?" This exchange is right out of the books, the Bond girl automatically trusting Bond just because he's the S*** and forming plans with him. Totally badass.

3. Bond pointing at the Komodo during his fight in the Casino. To me this captured Bond's character from the books as close to 100% as I've ever seen in a Bond film!

What do you think?

There's a healthy portion of 'Bond moments' in Skyfall.

Kicking up the gun off the floor during the Skyfall battle.
Using the flare to find the exit above in the ice.
Toasting the guards with his martini.
Using the digger to block Patrice's gun fire and enter the carriage.
Hanging from the elevator.
Hiding in the DB5 and using the headlight machine guns on his prey.
Stepping on the komodo dragon.
Jumping on the back of the train after Silva.
The scorpion drink sequence.
Sliding off the escalator ramp and hitting the ground running, Silva falls.
Bond wearing a towel ala Connery in FRWL and getting shaved by Eve.
