Goldfinger is where James Bond as we know him comes into focus - it features one of 007's most famous lines ("A martini. Shaken, not stirred.") and a wide range of gadgets that would become the series' trademark.
But is it the best James Bond? You be the judge!
Released in 1964, GOLDFINGER follows 007 (Sean Connery) as he battles the villainous Auric Goldfinger, who plans to destroy the world economy by contaminating Fort Knox.
With action-packed scenes, unforgettable characters like the iconic henchman Oddjob, and gadgets that would make Q proud, GOLDFINGER was a commercial and critical success, with many critics hailing it as the best Bond film of its time.
