I'll even forgive her lack of trigger discipline.

Halle Berry as Jinx in “Die Another Day” (2002) Bond women aren’t usually appreciated for their acting assets, but Halle Berry brings something to the role that no other Bond girl ever has — Oscar, acting Oscar. Like Michelle Yeoh in “Tomorrow Never Dies,” Jinx is Bond’s equal. Bond first glimpses Jinx, who is an agent for the NSA, emerging from the ocean, skimpy bathing suit and all. It’s an obvious homage to Ursula Andress in “Dr.No” that works. To whatever effect, Berry rises above what may be one of the worst Bond films ever made. C’mon, it has an invisible car. Fortunately, Berry is anything but invisible.
MGM Famke Janssen as Xenia Onatopp in “Goldeneye” (1995) Perhaps her name should have been Xenia Overdatopp? What else can one say about a woman who gets aroused by murder, especially squeezing men to death between her vice-like thighs? Still, given Bond’s skill at seduction, driving a wedge in Xenia’s evil plan requires great care. They first meet on a mountain road with dueling cars, then in a casino with dueling wit, then in a sauna, with dueling libido. If anyone could get the best of James, it’s Xenia. With her, his manhood is at stake in more ways than one.

Oh my.
Mack The Knife
Honor Blackman as Ms. Pussy. IMHO tied with Diana Rigg for No. 1.
"I'd put Pussy Galore in the top five...for the name alone."
How did they ever get away with that name in the early 60s?
for those who don't know, Lotte Lenya was married to composer Kurt Weill who wrote songs and plays, including the Three Penny Opera, which proved to be Lenya's breakthrough part. He wrote the song Mack the Knife and, years later, Louis Armstrong recorded a version of it where he improvised and included Lotte Lenya's name as one of Mack's victims. Bobby Darin also included that line in his version of the song and Sinatra did occassionally, as well.
Magda, hands down.
James Bond was born in 1919 and fought for His Majesty in WWII. Given his age of 87 I think that Estelle Getty might be the girl of his dreams. Then again Helen Thomas might be "too much" women for him to handle!
"Mack the Knife" right?
I agree the brit who played the evil agent outclassed her.
Wow, what an image to contemplate!
Do you know what they have in common besides both being Bond girls? Both were the femme fatales in the UK TV series, The Avengers, opposite Patrick Macnee.
And remember, as if we could forget, Honor Blackman and Diana Riggs were both stars of The Avengers.

Teri Hatcher and Denise Richards..without a doubt..
Of course maybe I am biased because I like well-endowed women..8-)
Did you know those legs belong to a transvestite?
The "problem" with Diana Rigg as the top Bond girl of all time is that she's far better known as Mrs. Emma Peel from the Avengers...who, BTW, did wonders for leather..
Wasn't she the widow of Kurt Weill, the author of "Mack the KNife" / "Threepenny Opera"?
