It may be old, but the agents first mission is still the blue print of all modern action films.

Dr. No
on DVD
(1962)
Starring: Sean Connery, Ursula Andress, Jack Lord
Director: Terence Young
Certificate: 
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 Ian 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 ..read more »

A far better movie than Doctor No, a great tight script and the iconic fight on the train between Connery and Robert Shaw is a thing of legend. This is still one of the better Bonds.

Goldfinger
on DVD
(1964)
Starring: Sean Connery, Gert Frobe, Honor Blackman
Director: Guy Hamilton
Certificate: 
Dry as ice, dripping with deadpan witticisms, only Sean Connery's Bond would dare to disparage the Beatles, that other 1964 phenomenon. No one but Connery can believably seduce women so effortlessly, kill with almost as much ease, and then pull another bottle of Dom Perignon 53 out of the fridge. ..read more »

The underwater sequences are still brilliant, and so are the locations, it's fast paced, but some how lacks the sheen of Goldfinger and tight plot of From Russia with Love. Good Tom Jones Theme tune add sheen to what could have been Bonds first water logged adventure.

At the time this was the biggest Bond adventure, but as we all know bigger is not always better!
The Volcano base is great, and the hijacking of space probes is a good, if silly touch. Great action sequences, including the Girocopter sequence, make this film great bloated fun, but since Doctor Evil in Austin Powers you can't help the odd unintentional snigger!

A very underrated Bond film, this is one of the best of the series, not sure of Bond in a kilt, but the ending is brilliant and bleak, also a fantastic theme tune!

Director: Peter R. Hunt
Certificate: 
James Bond is pitted against Blofeld again, this time infiltrating his installation high in the Swiss Alps. Austalian-born George Lazenby amply fills Connery's shoes here, briefly, as he finds himself kilted and surrounded by a gorgeous and sex-starved gaggle of women on retreat. Diana Rigg plays ..read more »

Connery's wig does the acting, as Connery only seems to be back for the money. A silly plot, and uninspired script don't help, but some great action sequences save Connery's swan song.

Brilliant theme song by Wings, this first outing for Moore is a silly Voodoo escapade, that has it's tongue fermly in it's cheek, and feals like a white verion of Shaft. It's silly but entertaining enough.

A poor theme song by LuLu sets up this pretty average adventure, that starts to show signs that the series is loosing grip with it's self mocking, but is saved by an amazing barrel roll car stunt.

A Jaw dropping stunt at the start and one of the best theme songs bring this adventure back on target. Although the plot is the same as You Only Live Twice, and the comedy element some times feels like a parody. This adventure is Moor's best, Brilliant fun!
