I Love All the James Bond Movies
1. Goldfinger – Classic (Intense in every way) Storyline and memorable (Oddball, played by Harold Sakata, remember fans – his mere existence alone was unforgettable, and he did all this without saying not one word!) characters – My all time favorite 007 Movie! Honor Blackman was great as ***** Galore – a very determined and sexy Bond Girl. Lots and lots of action in this movie. Well scripted movie and the laser scene of which Bond and Auric Goldfinger (as Gert Frobe) was classic because of the memorable dialogue between them. Very fast paced movie. An awesome Movie, a must see! Grade A+
2. Thunderball – Good Plot and lots of action and very (four of them) sexy Bond girls. Filled with action, drama, and suspense. The underwater fight scene considered one of the best action scenes in any Bond movie ever. The movie was fast paced and never a dull moment. Very intense film and very original. Connery was fantastic from start to finish, music score was unforgettable, and superb aquatic and tropical photography. Great Cast and well written. You’ll be glued to your favorite chair – because you do not want to miss any minute of it. I was tempted to make this (It is the highest grossing 007 movie of all time) movie #1. Grade A+
3. The Spy who loved Me – Barbara Bach was sensational as Triple X. That scene where she wore that black (she looked so unbelievably glamorous) gown was unforgettable. This movie marked the first appearance of Richard Kiel as Jaws – a 7 foot monster with killer teeth made of cold steel. This is the best 007 movie that Roger Moore made as 007. The movie song “Nobody does it Better” is (Sung by Carly Simon) my all-time favorite. Great Opening (ski jump, world record attempt) sequence; and when 007 played by Moore right after his fight scene with Jaws in Egypt; when he said “Egyptian Builders” really cracks me up! I’ve loved that punch line, good humor, and loaded with good fast paced action. Great action scenes, dialogue, and excitement! Grade A+
4. From Russia with Love – Classic (great spy thriller) Bond Movie. Connery was superb and the overall acting was fantastic in this movie. Great scenes, marvelously paced, and special effects. The cat fight scene with the two beautiful gypsies was brutal and intense. Robert Shaw as Donovan “Red” Grant did a masterful job acting in this movie. Great Photography too. I’ve loved the closing scene of where Bond threw away the film (reel) clips of where he and Tatiana Romanova making love earlier in the movie were so extremely romantic. That’s why I loved this movie from start to finish! Excellent supporting cast, strong plot and wonderfully directed as well. Grade A
5. Dr No – Sean Connery splash as 007 was harbinger of things to come. Best 007. He was simply was the best. Jack Lord of the Hawaii Five-0 fame was fabulous as CIA Agent (He and Connery had great chemistry together) Felix Leiter and Ursula Andress as Honey Rider set the tone for all Bond girls to follow. Great Photography and quite fast (action-wise) paced. Good (the scene of the deadly tarantula crawling up on 007 still haunts me) storyline and Joseph Wiseman as Dr. No did a marvelous job playing a reclusive member of SPECTRE out to destroy the American rocket launches at nearby Cape Canaveral. Nice music and lovely settings throughout this movie. Grade A
