Best James Bond pre-credit sequence

Is there one where the following happens:

Bond wears a dinner jacket
Has some kind of sexual dalliance, followed by a swift slap
Has a martini
Beats several swarthy types up
Makes a funny quip or innuendo
Exits with style

Cos that'll be my favourite
 
Nn.. no.

It was Somerset House, which was used for some kind of headquarters in Tomorrow Never Dies.

Is the Divorce Courts still there? Last time I went to Somerset House was to a restaurant there but I can't remember its name.
 
Was that the name of the restaurant, The Divorce Courts? Not the best place to go for a 1st date I'll warrent...

LOL! No the Principle Registry (divorce courts) used to be based there when I was doing my articles but don't know if they are still there. Then separately there is a restaurant as well in the actual building.
 
Is it the Mi5 building, Alex?
MI6 shurely mish moneypenny?

theres one where he skis (several, I think, but one in particular...) He gets to the bottom of the mountain, having offed a few baddies, with more quite far behind. He gets to a lake, which has a floating bit of ice in it. But the floating bit of ice has a hatch (with the union jack on the underside). He climbs in and there's some bird for him to shag (possibly money penny, or did they never actually get it on?), in some luxury bedroom thing. He pulls the hatch down, just as the baddies arrive, so all they see is a floating bit of ice....
 
I'm going to say Goldeneye, unless someone reminds me of a better one.

Bond jumps. off. a. cliff. after a crashing plane, gets in it and then flies away.

The rest of the film is a dull Swedish art film by comparison.

Nah, spy who loves me, also involves a cliff, but the parachute opening is one of THE great moments of kitsch british cinema

View to A Kill. Piss-poor film. GoldenEye clearly has the best pre-credits, with Goldfinger a close second - though Quantum of Solace's car chase is pretty good.
 
Diamonds are Forever...then the film goes down hill.
That may be the least memorable pre-titles sequence in Bond history.

The Spy Who Loved Me for sheer glory, or
The Living Daylights* for bad-arseness

* wargames on Gibraltar

Oh, I don't know, I remember it pretty well...unlike the rest of the film.

Here's a snip from a scene that gets cut by ITV when they show the film:

"Let me get something off your chest
One chance and one chance only, where's Blofeld"?

Besides, Living Daylights and Spy were both Roger Moore films. Everyone knows that Sean Connery was the best Bond. :p
