Dr No (1962) - Joseph Wiseman played the eponymous mad scientist in the first Bond movie. His fate? He falls into a nuclear reactor pool.
From Russia With Love (1963) - Loaded with villains this one but best two are a peroxide Robert Shaw and a diminutive Lotte Lenya (masquerading as a chambermaid with that lethal knife in her shoe).
Goldfinger (1964) - Gert Frobe as the obese rogue with his digit on the carets and Harold Sakata as his Odd Job henchman.
Thunderball (1965) - Bond goes swimming with the fishies to fight Adolfo Celi.
You Only Live Twice (1967) - Donald Pleasance is the man with the wee white cat as Bond gets big in Japan.
Diamonds Are Forever (1971) - Two Amazons called Bambi and Thumper almost get the measure of Mr Bond mark III (mark IV if you count David Niven in Casino Royale) but the real villain is Jimmy Dean as a Howard Hughes-type recluse holed up in a Las Vegas penthouse.
The Man With The Golden Gun (1974) - Bond heads east (again) to tackle Christopher Lee as arch assassin Scaramanga.
Moonraker (1979) - Michael Lonsdale leads our hero up the Amazon as Bond goes ever so slightly sci-fi.
A View To a Kill (1985) - One-time hero Christopher Walken slips comfortably
into villain mode as ruthless
international industrialist.
GoldenEye (1995) - Likewise, heart-throb Sean Bean turns nasty as renegade MI5 agent - with two Scots (Robbie Coltrane and Alan Cumming) providing villainous laughs and Famke Janssen getting to grips with her role as Onatopp, who proves to be the ultimate thigh master.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
