No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to dine!

A list, compiled from memory, of all the times the villain had captured Bond but couldn't be bothered to kill him.

• Dr. No
• Captured by: Doctor No (Joseph Wiseman)
• Reason spared: Tried to recruit him into SPECTRE.
• Did he regret it? Yeah, he got dunked in a radioactive swimming pool.
• From Russia With Love
• Captured by: "Red" Grant (Robert Shaw)
• Reason spared: So he could gloat.
• Did he regret it? Bond blew up a suitcase in his face and then strangled him with his own garrote, so I'd say yeah, he regretted it.
• Goldfinger
• Captured by: Auric Goldfinger (Gert Frobe)
• Reason spared: So the British wouldn't send 008 snooping after 007's corpse.
• Did he regret it? Sparing Bond's life brought him directly into contact with Pussy Galore. We all regretted it. Also, Goldfinger wound up sucked out an airplane window.
• Thunderball (first time)
• Captured by: Fiona Volpe (Luciana Paluzzi)
• Reason spared: Um... for kicks and giggles?
• Did she regret it? He got away and led her on a merry chase through a festival.
• Thunderball (second time)
• Captured by: Fiona Volpe (again)
• Reason spared: she wanted to dance with him, apparently.
• Did she regret it? Yeah, somehow he arranged it so her own henchman would shoot her through Bond's fingers. 
• You Only Live Twice (first time)
• Captured by: Helga Brandt (Karin Dor)
• Reason spared: Baffled on this one. She pretended that he'd successfully seduced her into helping him escape, only to try to get him killed in a plane crash.
• Did she regret it? Well, in her next scene, she was fed to mutated ill-tempered sea bass piranha fish, so probably.
• You Only Live Twice (second time)
• Captured by: Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Donald Pleasance)
• Reason spared: He wanted to let Bond watch TV. By "TV" I mean "the start of WWIII on television."
• Did he regret it? It led to the destruction of his secret volcano lair. Blofeld himself managed not to die; he just regenerated into Kojak.
• On Her Majesty's Secret Service
• Captured by: Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Telly Savalas)
• Reason spared: Something about convincing the British that Blofeld's threat was genuine. (It's worth pointing out that this scene isn't in the novel; it's in the film to reveal Blofeld's full scheme earlier so as not to break up the action at the end.)
• Did he regret it? Eh. Who needs a lair disguised as a resort on top of a mountain anyway? Not like you can put your hypnotized dolly-birds in bikinis or anything. And it's worth point out that, losses of resources aside, not only did Blofeld get away scot-free, but he also got his revenge
• Diamonds Are Forever
• See, that would require me to watch this shitshow again. As I recall, Bond got captured twice, both times by Blofeld (Charles Gray) and both times spared for no good reason at all. It ended with Bond wrecking an oil platform and swatting Blofeld around with a crane, or something. Oh yes, he was also nearly incinerated, and would have been if not for a confounding plot.
• Live and Let Die
• Captured by: Mr. Big (Yaphet Kotto)
• Reason spared: Actually, he ordered Bond shot. Bond just happened to get lucky.
• Did he regret it? Bond found his drug farm and his mistress-whose-psychic-powers-were-linked-to-her-virginity, with predictable results.
• Live and Let Die (again)
• Captured by: Mr. Big (again)
• Reason spared: Not so much "spared" as "placed in an easily-escapable situation involving an overly elaborate and exotic death." Bond just happened to get lucky have a crocodile trainer as a stunt double.
• Did he regret it? Yes, as did we, since that scene led to a boat chase that inflicted Sheriff Pepper on the world.
• Live and Let Die (again again)
• Captured by: Mr. Big (again again)
• Reason spared: No so much "spared" as "placed on an unnecessarily-slow-moving dipping mechanism." Bond just happened to get lucky HAVE A GODDAMN BUZZSAW IN HIS WATCH.
• Did he regret it? Mr. Big's death is the most stupid and insulting thing in the entire franchise. Oh yes he regretted it.
• The Man With the Golden Gun 
• Captured by: Hai Fat (yes, really)
• Reason spared: so we could all be subjected to a scene where two schoolgirls beat off a platoon of men in pajamas. And yes, that's the verb I'm going with.
• Did he regret it? Yup. He was shot with the titular golden gun, which at least showed us how the thing is put together.
• The Man With the Golden Gun (again)
• Captured by: Francisco Scaramanga (Christopher Freakin' Lee)
• Reason spared: "Personally I have nothing against you, Mr. Bond," he said to the man who slept with his mistress, causing him to kill her.
• Did he regret it? Not immediately.
• The Man With the Golden Gun (again again)
• Captured by: Scaramanga (again)
• Reason spared: Well, not so much "spared" as "talked into a stupid duel wherein Bond was lured into an inane funhouse."
• Did he regret it? Meh. Scaramanga became progressively less interesting (and more camp) as the film went on. Yes he got fooled by a waxwork that re-grew its fingers, but he still departed the world with more dignity than his immediate predecessor.
• The Spy Who Loved Me
• Captured by: Karl Stromberg (Curt Jurgens)
• Reason spared: None given, he just was.
• Did he regret it? Stromberg lost two nuclear submarines, his gigantic sub-swallowing tanker, his underwater laboratory and, ultimately, his life. Oh, and Bond swigs his Dom Perignon '52, the scalawag. 
• Moonraker
• Captured by: Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale)
• Reason spared: Again with the overly-elaborate death; Bond was left in a rocket launch bay to be incinerated by the launch. Surprisingly, it didn't work.
• Did he regret it? He did take a giant leap for mankind.
• For Your Eyes Only
• Captured by: Columbo (Topol)
• Reason spared: Because Topol was actually the good guy.
• Did he regret it? No. Because Topol was actually the good guy.
• For Your Eyes Only (again)
• Captured by: Locque (Michael Gothard)
• Reason spared: So some blond guy could shoot him during a ski jump. Weirdly, Tywin Lannister got in the way.
• Did he regret it? He eventually got himself kicked off a cliff. Do the math.
• For Your Eyes Only (again again)
• Captured by: Kristatos (Julian Glover)
• Reason spared: So he could keel-haul him.
• Did he regret it? Pretty sure Topol could have knifed him in the back without Bond's help, eventually. 
• Octopussy
• Captured by: Kamal Khan (Louis Jordan)
• Reason spared: A woman said so
• Did he regret it? Yes, but we did get to see Roger Moore in clownface. 
• A View to a Kill (twice)
• Captured by: Christopher Walken (Christopher Walken)
• Reason spared: to engineer a death-by-drowning scenario. And then later a death-by-fire scenario.
• Did he regret it? He turned into an unconvincing dummy and was dropped off a bridge.
• The Living Daylights
• Captured by: General Koskov (Jeroen Krabbe)
• Reason spared: Long story. Koskov had tried to trick Bond into killing the head of the KGB, something that, for a British spy, Bond was oddly reluctant to do. Bond and the head of the KGB eventually conspired to fake the KGB chief's death. Koskov then captured Bond and turned him over to Soviet forces for the murder of the KGB chief, apparently in order to increase his own standing.
• Did he regret it? The KGB chief booked him on the next plane to Moscow. In the diplomatic bag.
• Licence to Kill
• Captured by: Hong Kong Narcotics agents
• Reason spared: Timely intervention of the villain.
• Did they regret it? They didn't have time; they were all dead by the end of the scene.
• Licence to Kill (again)
• Captured by: Franz Sanchez (Robert Davi)
• Reason spared: Left to die in a meat grinder. Not sure on what planet that's called "spared." Yes, he could have just shot him, but the film had already gone to considerable lengths to establish Sanchez as totally unhinged.
• Did he regret it? First he was set on fire. Then he exploded. Yeah, he regretted it.
• GoldenEye
• Captured by: Alec Travelyan (Sean Bean)
• Reason spared: To blame him for the theft of a prototype helicopter.
• Did he regret it? Not this time. It wasn't his library Bond shot up escaping.
• GoldenEye (again)
• Captured by Alec Travelyan (again)
• Reason spared: so he could gloat. 
• Did he regret it? First he was dropped off a satellite dish. Then the dish was dropped onto him.
• Tomorrow Never Dies
• Captured by: Dr. Kaufman (Vincent Schiavelli)
• Reason spared: gloating
• Did he regret it? He was electrocuted. And then shot. And if he survived that long enough to bleed out, he witnessed Bond sniff a dead woman (not a euphemism).
• Tomorrow Never Dies (again)
• Captured by: Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce)
• Reason spared: so his henchman could torture Bond for lulz.
• Did he regret it? He got fed face-first to a nasty grinding machine.
• The World is Not Enough
• Captured by: Elektra King (Sophie Marceau)
• Reason spared: "One last screw." His words, not mine. (Context matters.)
• Did she regret it? Basically she's the only woman in the entire franchise whom Bond has murdered in cold blood. What do you think, genius?
• Die Another Day
• Haha fuckit no (3 captures as memory recalls. The villains played for keeps the first two times but resorted to gloating the third.)
• Casino Royale
• Captured by: Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen)
• Reason spared: "Spared" is really not the word to use here.
• Did he regret it? Not as much as he regretted losing that card game.
• Casino Royale (again) (really just a continuation of the above)
• Captured by: Mr. White (Jesper Christensen)
• Reason spared: Vesper apparently made some sort of deal for Bond's life. Somehow. Despite the fact that she was an unwilling accomplice. Remind me why people like this movie again?
• Did he regret it? Bond shot him in the leg and then locked him in a trunk for one of the franchise's most brutal chase sequences.
• Quantum of Solace
• Could have missed it in the jittercam, but I'm reasonably sure Bond was never captured in this one.
• Skyfall
• Captured by: Freaky McFreakface (Javier Bardem)
• Reason spared: So he could rip off the middle act of The Dark Knight.
• Did he regret it? Hard to tell, honestly. He did manage to get M killed, which I think was his goal, but he also died. Which also might have been his goal.
