1963 Bond movie
Rating: 15/20
Plot: James Bond tries to get his hands on a decoding device while Spectre tries their best to kill him.
It starts with chess and bellydancing and still somehow isn't my favorite James Bond movie? That doesn't seem possible. This spy adventure takes 007 to Turkey and eventually aboard the Orient Express. There are a few too many times when James Bond probably should have died in this one for my liking, but there's a really fun shoot-out, some fisticuffs in a confined train car, and a gnarly boat chase. Bond girl Daniela Bianchi is really cute, too.
I don't think it's as good as Connery's best Bond films, but it's still upper-echelon Bond.
