Goldfinger

Top 10 James Bond Movies

Sean Connery and Shirley Eaton in Goldfinger

Goldfinger (1964)
Plot: Sean Connery's Bond must stop the titular character's crazy scheme to irradiate the American gold depository at Fort Knox.
Perks: Although it was the third Bond film, this is the movie that established the so-called "Bond Formula": Exotic locales, beautiful women, outlandish plot, spectacular sets, over-the-top villain, bizarre henchmen (Oddjob), teaser opening, title song over the credits, gadgets and cars (the famous Aston Martin DB5). After Goldfinger all movies bearing that iconic number had to live up to this formula. This was also the film that made 007 a worldwide phenomena that continues to this very day. Never mind Bond films, this is one of the Top 10 Action Movies of all time simply because of its tremendous significance.
