Yeah, but you have to admire how Bond’s devastating masculine prowess cured Pussy of her sexual confusion, and changed her character into one of the good guys. 1964. I miss those days of historical normalcy, before the perversions of a very tiny minority became mainstream and spearheaded the movements which led to the degeneracy of our culture.

The editing in the second half is pretty wretched, I noticed that from the first viewing.

We have grown up in an era where we see great works of literature adapted into plays and movies. We have grown so accustomed to this phenomena that we forget that literature unfolds in our minds and is somewhat individualistic as our inner visualizations are unique. Storylines in books and novels are full of details and nuances that ultimately are nearly impossible to translate into a film storyline structure. A filmmaker is in a constant struggle to adapt the written story into a format that the modern movie audience will find not only palatable but also new and engaging and attractive. Such is the dilemma of a movie maker. I would agree that the literary Bond was very boring as compared to his cinematic avatar. Fleming's Bond was a killing machine who dulled the horrific experiences he witnessed as an assassin with the finest indulgences of promiscuity, high stakes gambling, drugs, alcohol, expensive food, automobiles and bespoke clothing. It didn't work. Fleming's Bond was regularly having feelings of regret and anxiety and self doubt regarding his past exploits. This doesn't translate well into a modern cinematic character in an adventure/escapist movie. Liberties and exceptions are taken and storylines are smoothed over and edited into plots that moviegoers can understand and engage in. The Goldfinger story had to be adapted into a scenario that would be relevant to mid 60s audiences. It went from a high wire modern train robbery/extortion/nerve gas caper (as portrayed in the novel) into a nuclear bomb ego maniac who dreams of being the perfect criminal. Combine that with the swinging 60s, Cold War era anxiety and the desire to escape our everyday drudgery in the darkness of a movie theater and you have a recipe for success. Sean Connery, Ken Adams futuristic sets and perhaps the greatest theme song in movie history makes for an ICONIC film. Yeah, it is the best Bond.

I couldn't disagree more about the scenes set in Kentucky. For one thing the background score kept the process of eliminating Solo moving right along. The bailing of his body inside that car further illustrated Goldfinger's conscienceless villainy.

Seagull, not duck! Ducks are tastier.

One of the things that makes LOTR look so good and feel so immersive is the minimal use of CGI and the abundant use of real locations like this, real costumes etc.. Obviously for things like Gollum and the Balrog etc. they have to use CGI... But compared to something like Star Wars -- if this was post 1980s Star Wars that entire landscape would just be a greenscreen, despite real places like this existing. LOTR has such a realistic, cozy feel of a real world because of the care that went into its very real sets like this. Again (not to keep bashing SW) but movies like the SW prequel trilogy can look like such a mismatch with live action characters surrounded by everything else green screen. Like Blues Clues, when it is very obvious the human is real but everything else is animated... then the SW Sequel Trilogy -- same issue except to compensate and make the live action characters blend in better with the CGI, they use this very unrealistic lighting in every scene to sort of CGI-ify the characters and make it all blend together. LOTR could stick with real lighting in scenes like Rohan and it adds to the realistic, immersive feel.

DR NO and Thunder Ball were my favorites.

I don't smoke , and i don't kill people either, but if killing is ok in movies then smoking should be ok too, they should have let bond continue to smoke .

I'm a golf teacher and have never read the book, now i must, the only book i read is "The spy who loved me " it takes place in a cabin in the woods, the whole book is in the cabin in the woods and outside around the cabin, it was not what i expected.

All these mounting reviews are such bad publicity for these actors. How embarrassing.. snyder should get sued

Speaking of felix lieter i always thought they should have found a star and made a series of c.i.a. movies around him.

I still like Thunderball, it’s the best.

My favoriite is the very 1st one DR.NO.

How will he be chosen. I wonder. I feel the agents days are over. But hey could be wrong and it’s a hit. But with todays weak storylines and weak men very very weak men we will have to see.

It is one of those things, you had to be there. In 1964, Goldfinger was a world cultural phenomenon. 007 was everywhere. If you were a high school boy (I was), you wanted to grow up and be a cool spy just like Bond.

15:58 - apparently Connery appeared in public without his toupee.🤔

One should note, in the laser scene, that the laser is going to cut into his crotch, ie. his manhood. There could be nothing more unsettling to Bond than that his favorite organ would be cut off first. Has there ever been a Bond murder attempt so...organized?

I still think From Russia With Love is the best. Dam good story and really good acting by all the cast.❤❤

@12:44 In the movie the door SLAM! edited precisely to cue in the Goldfinger title song. @35:26 A nuclear ‘device’. Nuclear Bombs were big news around that time in the 1960’s (even used in Doctor Who). The mention of a Nuclear Weapon always grabbed the attention or interest of the paying public, as the use of Atomic bombs were still fresh in the memories of the world.

Bond, as laser nears his crotch: *"Don't you want me to talk?"* Goldfinger: *"No, Mr Bond. I expect you to die!"* Some of the greatest lines in the whole Bond series.

From Russia With Love made the franchise. Still the best and most “realistic”

Great call. This is my favorite movie of all time!

Actually I play _Dawn Raid on Fort Knox_ for wakey-wakey in the morning (sometimes).

Dont leave out Gert Frobe's hilarious take on Goldfinger

Vigo actually broke his toe while kicking the helmet

I don't agree with your assessment of the Fort Knox heist ...i thought the large number of shots better conveyed the sheer scope of the operation..

Damn the chick's are so hot in this movie, would love for them to bring back that 60s look for a while, so good.

I agree.

I hope you don't actually discriminate against people who don't like the same things in a movie as you. Someone who doesn't laugh at Bond as a duck might still be the best friend you ever had. Anyway, I think Dr. No sets up pretty well what a Bond film is. I'm not so sure that Goldfinger deserves as much credit as it receives on this front (or any front for that matter).

Still better than the new SW trilogy though.

I like when he asks for the feel of a suit. And when Nick says I'm Stanley Goodspeed, bond says of course you are 😂😂😂

This makes an amazing movie even better for me. So ill take it

My favoite movies are set in WWS Dont care too much for Tarantions fill and took me 5 tries to finsishe the Basterds. and has turned into one of my favorite movies.

Ideas for new James Bond: James Bond meets all his girlfriends. “I thought you were going to marry me?” James Bond is played by a different actor in each scene, Jim Cary, Cary Grant, Clint Eastwood, Jackie Chan, Jim Belusie, Harrison Ford, Domhnall Gleeson, and Richard Dreyfus.

14:03 The next Bond song should be “Secert Agent Man” by DEVO … “Boys” by The Beatles … or “Date to Church” by The Replacements … or “Born to Run” by Bruce Springsteen … or “Built for Speed” by The Stray Cats … or “What Do I Get” by Buzzcocks … or “Girl Front” by Odd Eye Circle … or “Luv Me” by AOA … or “Super Moon” by WJSN The Cosmic Girls … or “Aitai-tai” by Red Velvet or “Banana Allergy Monkey” by Oh My Girl.

Yes, Spy certainly did reignite the Bond box office success, but it's hardly original. Spy is a remake of You Only Live Twice. Instead of kidnapped space capsules, it's kidnapped submarines, the villain (Blofeld/Stromberg) wants to start a war between two super powers to create new world otder, Bond teams up with a female foreign agent (Aki & Kissy/Anya), Q delivers on location a gadget filled vehicle with last name Nellie, long battle sequence inside the villain's lair or adjacent lair, final fight with large formidable henchman (Hans/Jaws), romantic ending on the sea interrupted by M, etc. Many of the same elemsnts are repeated in Tomorrow Never Dies which, in my opinion, is the better remake with villain wanting to start WW3 for high tv ratings for his new cable news station; brilliant! In my opinion, For Your Eyes Only is Moore's best Bond. It thankfully returned Bond back to earth and back to the original Ian Fleming source material. As far as originality and Best Bond film, my choice remains OHMSS, probably the best adaptation of any Fleming novel.

Who's the youngster narrating this? He thinks Ian Fleming's original novel had . . . shortcomings?

12:24 there are people that use ppl the I would like to go James Bond on - if it means throwing them into a bathtub and throwing a still plugged in electric device in with them.

That Carly Simon and Carolyn Munro weren't mentioned gets this otherwise good vid a thumbs down.

1964, The Beatles and Beatle mania and James Bond, it was the decade of British music and movie culture.

It is well known & DOCUMENTED....that Roger Christian (set decorator/designer '77 A New Hope) designed & created the Lightsaber for the '77 original Star Wars......NOT Stears. ALSO.......James Earl Jones was not credited (he didn't ask to be credited) for the original '77 Star Wars release. It was only after the success of SW & James Earl Jones' recognition that he was credited in the end credits.

Sean Connery was literally the gold!

🙄And just to think Orson Welles and James Cagey turned down the role of Goldfinger

When judging Bond films and their relative importance to the EON franchise, one must consider the producers’ intent. Once spy gadgets were introduced by way of Goldfinger, pretty much any semblance of realism was lost as the series came up with increasingly silly contraptions. Roger Moore’s outings, while they had their serious moments, were campy. For overall approximating realism, there have been perhaps four outings: From Russia With Love, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, For Your Eyes Only, and Casino Royale.

Oppenheimer is unwatchable. I've tried multiple times but I find it infuriating. 1. Characters appear without introduction 2. The editing is nauseatingly fast like scrolling through Tik-Tok 3. There are a ridiculously large number of locations which makes me feel lost 4. Why do we need to keep following everyone walking around? Stand still! 5. The dialogue is too quite, out of context nonsense 6. The music is too loud 7. The scenes in New Mexico have so much wind noise in the microphone, it sounds like an amateur student film 8. We never get a break from dialogue. It's a movie not a radio play so "show don't tell". 9. And is it too much to ask for a movie to start at the beginning and conclude at the end? I have a head ache.

Of course, Roger was also made famous in The Persuaders. That's where I originally caught up with him. Lord Sinclair along with Danny Wilde in The Persuaders was my favourite show, when I was allowed to sit up and watch it.

422 to be exact

In 1994 Creation Entertainment hosted what was supposed to be the first annual James Bond convention (turned out to be the only one) in Los Angles. They also had a screening of the 30th anniversary of Goldfinger with a brand new print. John Stears was the special guest and before the movie screened, a clip introducing Pierce Brosnan as the new Bond. I got to meet Peter Hunt, Richard Kiel, John Stears and Martine Beswick to name a few. It was where I also got to meet Lee Pfeiffer whom I purchased my one sheets of Goldfinger and Thunderball. They still hang in my office. Great commentary on the films successes and flaws.

Wonderful job! So much better than boring Streaming series. Can you do other StarWars series too? Thankyou!!

I fell in love with Tania Mallet (Tiffany) when I first saw this film, and I have never loved another Bond girl more. She was just electric on screen!
