Coolest Movie Poster
For Your Eyes Only (1981)
This iconic poster frames 007 between a Bond girl’s perfect legs. Added bonus: She’s holding a crossbow!

Best Car
Lotus Esprit • The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Yeah, sure, a gadget-laden Aston Martin is the Bond automotive icon, but for fans who came aboard in the Roger Moore era, how do you beat a Lotus that turns into a submarine?

Most Ludicrous Car
Invisible Aston Martin • Die Another Day
With its invisibility button, this Bond car officially passed into the realm of utter make-believe. Does the car also shoot lightning bolts and track unicorns?

Worst Stunt
Bond surfs on a tidal wave created by a melted glacier • Die Another Day (2002)
This scene was so clearly computer-generated it would have looked more at home in an animated kid flick like Ice Age.

Most Meaningless Theme Song
“Thunderball”
“And he strikes like Thu-u-u-u-n­-derball.” Huh? Even composer John Barry admitted the words were absurd. Respect to singer Tom Jones, however.

Best Opening Sequence
Casino Royale (2006)
It might not have had the outrageous stunts of many of its predecessors, but the black-and-white footage of Bond grimly executing his first two kills to obtain his 00 status packed more punch than any quasi-unbelievable action scene.

Hottest Bond Girls of All Time
Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore • Goldfinger (1964)
Evil mastermind Auric Goldfinger’s plan to contaminate all the gold in Fort Knox could never have gotten off the ground without the help of the sexy pilot with the least subtle name in cinematic history.

Ugliest American
Sheriff J.W. Pepper • Live and Let Die (1973)
This redneck lawman enjoys shooting dogs, spitting tobacco, and arresting black people. For some reason that earned him a return cameo in The Man With the Golden Gun, in which he runs into Bond, oddly enough, in Bangkok.

Best Quick Change
Bond peels off a wetsuit to reveal a crisp tuxedo • Goldfinger (1964)
Hot damn, not even the bow tie got damp! Guess nobody could tell Bond that he was “all washed up,” eh? Sorry.

Most Unnecessarily Elaborate Assassination Attempt
Bond lowered slowly into a shark tank • Live and Let Die
We’ll spot you the sharks. But, really, wouldn’t you at least consider tossing the dude in quickly?
