10 Best Bond Films

[007]

6. Dr. No

Sean Connery became an international star in his debut as James Bond. What's most interesting about the first Bond film is how low-key it is. Dr. No is essentially a hardboiled detective film with 007 investigating the slaying of a British operative. Even the title character is relatively subdued, despite his metal hands and elaborate plot. The combination of Connery's 007 and the breathtaking Ursula Andress as the ultimate Bond girl Honey Ryder imbue Dr. No with a sexual chemistry that all subsequent Bond films have tried (with varying degrees of success) to recapture.

5. Goldeneye

This is the film that relaunched the 007 franchise for the 1990s and introduced audiences to the fifth big-screen Bond, Pierce Brosnan. Bond is finding his footing in the post-Cold War era and dealing with a new, female and disdainful M (Dame Judi Dench). He also faces perhaps his most personal foe, former 00 agent Alec Trevelyan (Sean Bean) who was thought dead but is back to get his revenge on England. The cast includes future X-Men Famke Janssen and Alan Cumming, as well as The Living Daylights' Joe Don Baker (now cast as a good guy).

4. You Only Live Twice

Bond finds himself in Japan in this outlandish but beloved entry. In order to determine who is behind the theft of U.S. and Russian spacecraft, Bond fakes his own death, disguises himself as Japanese, and woos both Kissy Suziki and Helga Brandt. 007 soon discovers that his nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Donald Pleasance, in a Dr. Evil-inspiring performance) is behind the diabolical plot. Roald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) adapted Ian Fleming's book for the screen.

3. The Spy Who Loved Me

Hands down, this was Roger Moore's best Bond film. It has it all: spectacle, romance, exotic locales, memorable action scenes, good characters and a classic theme song ("Nobody Does It Better," by Carly Simon). Although this sequel (like so many Bond films) runs a wee bit too long, it was just the creative and commercial hit that the Bond franchise and Moore needed after the nadir of The Man With the Golden Gun.

2. From Russia With Love

Sean Connery's second outing as 007 has the suave British secret agent on the trail of a Russian decoding device, a dangerous mission that pits Bond against SPECTRE. Along the way, Bond falls for cipher clerk Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi) and does battle with SPECTRE's Red Grant (Robert Shaw). Pedro Armendariz, Bernard Lee, Desmond Llewelyn and Walter Gotell co-star.

1. Goldfinger

Although not the first Bond film, Goldfinger was the model from which all subsequent Bond movies have been based. The first 007 film to make use of elaborate gadgets (most notably 007's tricked-out Aston Martin), this entry also included some of the series' most memorable death scenes, villains (Gert Frobe as Auric Goldfinger) and Bond girls (Honor Blackman as the infamously named Pussy Galore). Goldfinger has everything any Bond fan or casual viewer would expect from a 007 movie experience.

The above two lists are not necessarily what I think is the best order. When I actually find the time to sit down and write it out I will put them in the order that I think is the best.
