50 Greatest James Bond Moments Of All Time

Spectre peaked in its first five minutes and the rest of the film, despite being two and a half hours long, never managed to top this stunning opening.

The film begins with a visually outstanding 'single-take' tracking shot that lasts for four minutes and follows Bond through the Day of the Dead festival, into a lift, through a hotel room and even along some rooftops, before it ends with him setting up a sniper rifle opposite a window.

When it ends, you'll probably want to clap.

Spectre, an entertaining but disappointing entry in the franchise, does have its share of issues but at least it has one of the franchise's most brilliant shots in there. Perhaps this scene was what landed Sam Mendes the gig of directing 1917?
