From Russia with Love
I love this one... surprise, surprise, surprise. Everyone loves this one. I think if there were a true point of contest amongst die hard Bond fans it is From Russia With Love v Goldfinger for the best Bond film. Clearly I'm in the From Russia With Love camp, because it works as a serious spy thriller, it works as a Bond movie, it works as a dramatic thriller and it works as an action movie. It has enough character to be an extremely well made Bond film, and, for a second outing, nobody has done it better.
