My favourite Connery Bond film is probably the greatest film in the entire franchise along with Craig's Casino Royale and Brosnan's GoldenEye.
This one has it all. The top-notch cold war plot set in beautiful Istanbul, where the Russians and the British are being played by SPECTRE. It has multiple memorable action set-pieces such as the Gypsy raid, Train fight, Helicopter attack and so on. Red Grant is the perfect henchman and Rosa Klebb is an iconic Bond villain.
Connery is better than he was in Dr No and begins to have fun with the character whilst straying from the silly comedy that would encompass his performance in Diamonds are Forever.
A stellar film in its own right, let alone a superb 007 outing.
