Starting our list from the first sign of Bond in 1962, Ian Fleming’s James Bond character gets a strong start with the help of Sean Connery: who many find to be the best Bond of them all. Starring in 7 Bond films, Connery takes the lead with most Bond movies combined. Connery’s stint as Bond is also unique in the way that not all 7 were chronologic...
In the very first James Bond installment, Dr. No strongly kicks off the saga with style and grace. Though this film was an iconic beginning, the Bond formula was only in it’s beginning stages. Despite this, the regular tropes already began to take shape: the clever quips, the assassination attempts, the fancy spy gadgets, and more importantly: the Bond girl. Played by Ursula Andress, Honey Ryder began the tradition of the Bond girl to play alongside Bond in his exploits.

In the second Bond installment, From Russia with Love capitalizes on the success of Dr. No in a great way. In what some would consider to be a step up from the last film, this film jumps right into the dreaded criminal organization called SPECTRE, which re-appears periodically throughout the 60 years of Bond and was introduced already in Dr. No. Among other things, this is something that helps to make this a strong filim, as well as its references to the Cold War.

Just when audiences thought it couldn’t get any better, Goldfinger hits the screen and blows everyone away. Raved about for being the most Bond of all the Bond films, Goldfinger takes the blueprints of the Bond movie formula and absolutely perfects it. Between the dastardly villain that turns victims into gold and the evil sidekick Oddjob that throws a bladed hat, this was the true beginning of the Bond movie style that became so re-useable. This was also the first Bond film that introduced the ‘Bond Song’ (by Shirley Bassey) and the accompanying intro sequence as well as the legendary performance by Desmond Llewelyn as Q, who would continue this role for decades.

Taking a slight dive in overall quality, Thunderball was not received so well by critics as the first three films were. Despite this, this fourth Bond film in four years still acts as a great addition to the saga. With it’s entertaining action sequences, varying settings, and continuation of the battle between Bond and SPECTRE, this is a logical and enjoyable film that’s a whole lot of fun.

In his fifth and seemingly last Bond film, Connery reprises the role of Bond once again in You Only Live Twice. Though it is not rated as his best Bond film, it still holds up as a fun and worthy classic in the lineup. Set in Japan, we get some creative set designs, costuming, and themes that make this a somewhat unique Bond film.
