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. Goldfinger contains many of the ..

    The third in the series featuring Ian Fleming's suave superspy is one of the slickest of all the Bond movies. Endlessly entertaining and effortlessly performed, it's packed with classic moments. There's Shirley Eaton's legendary gold-plated death; the best name for any Bond girl in Pussy Galore (played to the hilt by ex-Avenger Honor Blackman); a brilliantly bizarre villain in Gert Fröbe, who plans to irradiate Fort Knox to boost the value of his own gold supplies; Ken Adam's hilariously OTT weapon and gadget designs; and that Shirley Bassey theme song. Oh yes: Sean Connery's not bad as 007, either.

    Probably the liveliest and most amusing of the Bond spy spoofs, with a fairly taut plot between the numerous highlights. The big budget is well used.

    Best Bond movie

    The best Bond movie ever made. It was the first of the James Bond films to feature a plethora of gadgets, most of which are fitted to his Aston Martin DB5 which he uses in a spectacular car chase scene.

    On top of that, who can forget the remarkable Honor Blackman as 'Pussy Galore' and Oddjob with his lethal bowler hat?

    And then there are those classic lines that stick with you forever...

    "You expect me to talk?"

    "No Mr.Bond...I expect you to die!"

    Classic stuff.

    The film with the midas touch!

    in 1964 fresh from the success of ' From Russia With Love' it was producers Albert R ' Cubby' Broccoli & Harry Saltzman who decided to make this their follow up to 1963's ' From Russia With Love'. 1964's ' Goldfinger' is probably the most memorable bond film of them all with such classic villains like Auric Goldfinger{Gert Frobe}& Oddjob. this movie has Honor Blackman { Jason And The Argonauts, The Avengers television series}play the love interest Sean Connery's 007 is the best bond film AFTER Pierce Brosnan. such classic scenes like a decapitated statue, some killer poison rimmed hats, some lethal lasers and a plot involving taking gold bullion from Fort Knox. i recommend anyone see this.

    One of my sons used this for his A' Level Film Studies and found the special features really helpful. Director's and cast commentaries especially useful.
