Dr. No

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: Certificate: PG
    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 »

From Russia With Love

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.
  • From Russia With Love on DVD (1963)
    Starring: Sean Connery,  Robert Shaw,  Lotte Lenya
    Director: Terence Young
    Certificate: Certificate: PG
    Secret agent James Bond battles the all-enveloping tentacles of an international crime syndicate called SPECTRE. The organization's mad plan for world supremacy unfolds with the icy efficiency of a chessmaster's complex strategy, and if they succeed, the antagonism of the cold war will be pushed ..read more »

Goldfinger

This is a much loved Bond film, fans say it's the best of the series, but to be honest I don't think it is, but is still one of the better ones. the film is a gold plated classic!
  • Goldfinger on DVD (1964)
    Starring: Sean Connery,  Gert Frobe,  Honor Blackman
    Director: Guy Hamilton
    Certificate: Certificate: PG
    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 »

Thunderball

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.
  • Thunderball on DVD (1965)
    Starring: Sean Connery,  Claudine Auger,  Adolfo Celi
    Director: Terence Young
    Certificate: Certificate: PG
    James Bond's fourth adventure takes him to the Bahamas, where a NATO warplane with a nuclear payload has disappeared into the sea. Bond (Sean Connery) travels from a health spa (where he tangles with a mechanised masseuse run amuck) to the casinos of Nassau and soon picks up the trail of SPECTRE's ..read more »

You Only Live Twice

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!

On Her Majesty's Secret Service

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!

Diamonds Are Forever

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.
  • Diamonds Are Forever on DVD (1971)
    Starring: Sean Connery,  Jill St. John,  Lana Wood
    Director: Guy Hamilton
    Certificate: Certificate: PG
    Superspy James Bond (Sean Connery) gets tangled up in the wild world of international diamond smuggling. But hold on--the mission is not quite so simple as it seems; his chase of the jewel thieves leads him to conspirators with plans for unleashing a nuclear armageddon on an unsuspecting planet. ..read more »

Live And Let Die

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.

The Man With The Golden Gun

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.

The Spy Who Loved Me

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!
