Best James Bond villain hideouts

as u can see from my name, im a great great fan of james bond 007 franchise , i ve been fascinated by the design of the sets and where the villains have their lairs and hideouts, its gives such a mysterious and intriguing feeling and the revealing of the hideout and quarters adds to the mystery of the film plot.
there've been some phenomenal hideouts, from space stations to abandoned islands and discreet desert digs. Not every Bond movie has had a lair leaving us in envy, but we've They're all pretty sweet.
i m very fond of some of the hideouts or superstructures that were present in the 23 movies, as to mention the most intriguing for me was the hollowed out volcano hideout in you only live twice, i am still fascinated by the atlantis of spy who loved me, its such a great lair for the megalomaniacal, it fitts the bill perfectly and actually having the Liparus tanker as swallowing submarine was a big surprise for me when i first saw the movie.
have your say and give me your best hideouts or superstructures
for me:
1-hollowed volcano
2-atlantis
3-arecibo dish
4-crab key

Atlantis wins by a country mile, how can you compete with a submersible palace?

I like Atlantis too. From my second favourite Bond film as well, after Licence to Kill.

Impeccable taste. Those are my top 2 as well.

Also one could easily argue that Sanchez having his own personal banana republic is more impressive than any outrageous lair.

sanchez as villain the filmmakers went realistic as with the whole film

They definitely took a more "gritty" approach but they did it without abandoning the light escapism that defined the series. There was still plenty of humor and levity, and most of the other elements were there. The girls, the gadgets, Q in his biggest role in the franchise's history, not to mention some of the best one-liners, even if the delivery is usually ice-cold.

A lot of credit goes to the late Richard Maibaum, whose influence is sorely missed, especially in the last 11 years where I feel the tone of the series has become much too somber.

i like license to kill don t get me wrong, i think it has this atmospheric genre i felt the sadness and anger when felix gets shark bitten and be put back in his house on the sofa, it is maybe the most atmospheric bond film with its pacing which got a nodge down this time, i felt timothy dalton is great as an action figure but not good when it comes to romance and witticism..what do think?

I think Dalton's always playing the distaste that Bond has for his occupation. I was thinking about The Living Daylights yesterday and how funny the Kara interaction often is because Bond's sort of recovering his humanity in a way.

Yeah, true.

Robert Davi took on a lot of the traditional humour and the one liners in a very successful way. My favourite Bond quip is "At least someone's on the case" because it's brutally low-key and you almost miss it.

He's not as great at being the debonair ladies-man as say Connery or Brosnan, but does a decent enough job. What he lacks in that area he makes up for with his incredible acting chops. Also both of his female leads, Maryam d'Abo and Carey Lowell had good chemistry with him.

Plus he does a very good job at playing the cultured bon vivant side of Bond, and seems like someone who would be perfectly comfortable in a tux drinking champagne, eating caviar and playing BaccaratThe most memorable line in Licence to Kill for me is Dalton's abrasive delivery of "Shaken! Not stirred" to Pam in the Isthmus City casino. What an actor

Blofeld's day spa in the French Alps was pretty sweet

There was a time in my life when I knew every James Bond film scene by scene - my interest faded in the later Pierce Brosnan years, but Casino Royale and Skyfall are two of the best out of all of them. I adored Timothy Dalton, and if I'm really honest I'd have to admit Dalton was my favourite Bond.

The best villain's lair? For me, that's in one of the worst of all the Bond films. The gigantic ice palace in Die Another Day.
