From Russia with Love (1963)
The first truly great bond film!
This is just a great film with or without the bond franchise! Connery is on top form here, he's more settled in the role than Dr no. and doesn't seem bored like his later performances. This film feels exotic and tense with great action set-pieces, the two villains are superb and memorable (red grant is a relentless silent assassin, bad English accent apart! & Rosa Klebb, spectre number 2 and KGB defector who is the mastermind behind spectres plan to steal a lektor). All the classic bond elements are starting to form here, M, Moneypenny, Q are all starting to take on the characterizations that make them such fantastic characters. Also the gadgets in this film are helpful, believable and don't take away from bonds skills as a secret agent!! All in all a fantastic film!
