Octopussy (1983)

Octopussy (1983)

In one of his best movies as James Bond, Roger Moore is at the top of his game as he dodges bad guys and charms beautiful women in the country of India. And that is the highlight of Octopussy, the abundance of beautiful women and equally gorgeous cinematography. When 009 is killed after slipping a fake Faberge egg into the hands of two murdering knife throwers,...

Goldfinger (1964)

Ask any James Bond fan about their top 5 movies and you will be hard pressed to find one who doesn’t have Goldfinger in his/her list.

Once off the mountain...

A cocky, super nerd with...

Quantum of Solace

Quantum of Solace

The suave, womanizing spy of yesteryear has been replaced with a reckless, free-running bad-ass and that in itself leads to mixed emotions. Daniel Craig’s version of James Bond seems...
