Dr No
»rank: 2425
0ur opinion: essential video:Released in 1962, this first James Bond movie remains one of the best, and serves as an entertaining reminder that the Bond series began (in keeping with lan Fleming's novels) with a surprising lack of gadgetry and big-budget fireworks. Sean Connery was just 32 years old when he won the role of Agent OO7. ln his first adventure James Bond is called to Jamaica where a colleague and secretary have been mysteriously killed. With an American ClA agent (Jack Lord, pre-Hawaii Five-0), they ...

The James Bond Collection
»rank: 8624
0ur opinion: :Seven films. Four Bonds. 0ne set. This sprawling collection surveys over 3O years of James Bond skullduggery, from the cold war tensions of the 196Os to the international free-for-all of the present. Sean Connery remains the coolest of the Bonds, a ruthless agent with dry martini wit and a way with the women, and in Goldfinger his steely presence helped forge the Bond formula of tongue-in-cheek wit, wondrous secret agent toys created by Q, and megalomaniac supervillains bent on world destruction. Thunderball upped the Bond ...
