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.

  The first and still one of the Best Bond Movies!
  
  As with most movies the first ones take some beating and though Sean Connery went on to make a set of excellent Bond Movies, Dr No certainly stands out.
