12 Things You Learn Rewatching For Your Eyes Only

She isn't often mentioned in lists of the best Bond girls, but Melina Havelock (Carole Bouquet) is definitely a top-tier femme fatale for the series.

Her family is murdered at the very beginning of the movie and this underlines her entire arc throughout the adventure. She's a fiery, vengeful Greek who doesn't just give herself to Bond within moments of meeting him, and even when he tries to coddle her, she has none of it.

It's almost a shame she eventually gives up and shags Bond at the very end of the movie, but considering how she maintained her integrity for the first 95%, she ticks a lot of boxes as an agreeably smart, resourceful foil to Bond who's also stunningly beautiful to boot.
