Somehow I've made it through life without ever owning a single piece of Bond memorabilia. I've never even bought a film. They're always on TV. Why would you ever feel the need to own one?

Everyone always says the fight between Red Grant (Robert Shaw) and Bond (Connery) in From Russia With Love is the best of the franchise and yes, it's vicious and visceral stuff but I've always had a soft spot for the one from Goldfinger where Bond takes on Oddjob (Harold Sakata) in the Fort Knox vault as a nuclear bomb counts down beside them. It's one of the few times where Bond is genuinely in trouble, facing an opponent who would snap him in two and who wields the most brilliantly silly weapon in the entire franchise. Knowing he can't match him physically means Bond has to go another direction and we get a wicked scrap and a hell of a memorable death scene as a result.
