Goldfinger (1964)

[Movie 72 / Day 43]


This is another of my favourite Bond movies. Sean Connery has relaxed into the role and is looking ultra-cool. It introduces THE Bond car, the Aston Martin DB5, along with its gadgets and tricks. It shows us the inside of Q's workshop for the first time, and reveals some of the tests undertaken there. Auric Goldfinger is an excellent baddie with one of the best lines ever ("Do you expect me to talk?" "No, Mr Bond, I expect you to die!") and Oddjob is probably the best sidekick ever - I mean, the guy throws a hat. All of this and Honor Blackman's husky voiced Pussy Galore?

It's ace.

My rating: 7.2 / 10
IMDB rating: 7.9 / 10
Running time: 110 mins
