In no particular order:

1. 'Keeping the British end up sir.'
2. 'Fill her up please.'
3. Dropping the fish out of the Lotus window.
4. 'But James I need you.'
'So does England.'
5. I just love the way he says 'thank you' when Mr Bigs goons throw him into the alley.

#5 is such a favorite of mine! Pure legendary Roger Moore!

"I don't suppose you'd care for a night cap?"

Jones_The_Bond

"All those feathers and he still can't fly!" and the smile/wink exchange with Naomi.

Rog was often so courteous to villains and henchmen out to annihilate him. He seemed to follow the Winston Churchill quote: "When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

Some alternative suggestions

5) 007 being taunted by German teenagers and Roger giving them a rude gesture in Octopussy
4) The cards "stacked in his favour" in Live and Let Die
3) "California Girls" ski scene in A View To A Kill
2) "Alright, keep your hair on" *cheeky pat on Blofeld's bald head in For Your Eyes Only
1) the Gondola/Hovercraft scene in Moonraker. Cinema's greatest moment? =))

St_George

These are very difficult for me to choose (as many may assume ;) ). Anyhoo, deep breath, here we go...

In reverse order, folks...

5. Kicking the goon in the chest outside Mr Big's HQ from The 'Die ~ basically because it's cool as hell; not only is the move superhuman-cool, but Bond is by far the best dressed guy in New York as he does it

4. In the escape pod from The Spy ~ including the marvellous "Maybe I misjudged Stromberg..." line, the sudden fear Anya may actually go through with her threat, the trademark surrender of a frosty hotty to 007's charms and perhaps the greatest pun-closer of any Bond film

3. The uncovering-of-Holly (as it were) scene from MR ~ utterly ridiculous, full of (slightly dubious) one-liners, especially the oustanding "I have friends in low places", this one's 24-carat Sir Rog

2. The Lovers scenes from The 'Die (seduction and bed) ~ obviously, just obviously, because they're simply awesome

1. The Spy pre-title sequence (including the Union Jack parachute jump) ~ yes, with "But James I need you!"/ "So does England!" and everything else, what else could you choose as #1 on St. George's Day...? ;)

5 Random Legendary 007 Rogerisms

"Well, I'm sure we can lick you into shape!"

"You do know what the Queen of Cups means in an upside down position, don't you? I deceitful, perverse woman; a liar, a cheat, and I'd like some answers NOW!"

"I'm tempted to say yes immediately! But I think I better have a look around first."

"You go put your clothes back on, and I'll buy you an ice cream."

"Sir Godfrey, on a mission I am expected to sacrifice myself."

The backgammon scene in OP is Rog on fire:

The way he clocks whats going on then just slips into the Majors Chair cool as you like, the look he gives Gobinda when he pulls out the Faberge egg, the uber smug delivery of - 'Its all in the wrist' and the icing on the cake - the so wrong but oh so right 'That'll keep you in curry for a few weeks wont it?'

The whole scene is utter Moore perfection.

Honestly :\"> :\">

1 Bond looking extremely nervous on the small island surrounded by crocodiles. Roger Moores look of fear is not acting, its a great moment.

2 Bond when he rejects assistance from Dr Goodhead when he exits the centrifuge.

3 Bond kicks Locke and his car of the cliff.

4 Bond confronts Rosie Carver 'Make your choice'

5 Bond fights off Russian agents at the Valley of the Kings, Roger Moores reaction after the fight is brilliant.

I never quite understood the furore of that. It's as when Bond asks Quarrel to 'fetch his shoes' in Doctor No. It's no big deal ? Moore delivers the line almost to perfection but quite how some get worked up about it, I don't know

Five more top Roger Moore moments worthy of inclusion, although doubtless mentioned

#1 Bond 'attempting re-entry' with Goodhead - MR, although I think it's the late Desmond Llewelyn who should really be in the spotlight there

#2 'No ma'am, I'm with the economy tour' - OP

#3 The killing of the knife throwing twin in Octopussy - 'and that's for 009'

#4 Amasova - 'Where's Fekkesh ?'. Bond - 'With the pharaohs'

#5 Realizing JW Pepper is back and in the car with him in Golden Gun - "Oh no.."

Murdock

1. Kicking Loque over the Cliff
2. "fill her up please."
3. Speech about killing in TMWTGG
4. Unloading on Stromburg
5. Centrifuge scene

Batman23

5. When he says, 'Bond James Bond', for the first time in live and let die
4. When he flies the plane in in the pre-credits of Octopussy
3. When the Lotus turns into a submarine in The Spy Who Loved Me
2. When he is pushed out of a plane in Moonraker
1. When he escapes from the alligators/ the parachute jump

Baltimore_007

There you go ! Roger Moore Bond moments...

Only what I said before, in the above, but will add -

When Vijay is found dead by Q.

Q - 'He was alive when I found him'

Moore - 'Did he say anything ?'

Q - 'Only that it was Kamals Men'

Moore - 'No more problems'

Trying to hitch a lift from the road in Germany and the kids in the car stop, and then drive off when Moore goes to get in

'Put your clothes on and I'll buy you an Ice-cream'
