Thoroughly enjoyed writing this over the last few weeks..! 1. Goldfinger My absolute favourite. The coolest, most iconic, most entertaining Bond film of them all. Connery is matchless in a film of so many highs. The PTS, Bond catching Goldfinger…

Very pleased with this announcement. He's successfully worked in various genres. It seems Bond is in safe hands. Now we just need a James Bond...

Good news. Have enjoyed all his work to varying degrees. Loved his Dune films. Bond seems to be in safe hands. Definitely means Hans Zimmer could return...

Some great posts on here. All i can add is that he's a very creepy Bond villain. I liked his back story and Remi Malek plays him just right. I love that intense meeting between him and Bond. Outstanding scene. Another worthy villain to add to the…
