James Bond Movies watched posted 12-20-22

 It has been over 5 months since I lasted posted any of the movies we have watched, so here goes.


Earlier this year, NPR had a program on the "oldest film franchise" in the world ---- that being James Bond.  As it had been years since we had seen some of them, also there were several we had not seen, we decided to watch the entire series, so away we went!

The family behind the James Bond movies, also have another interesting claim, their family is connected to the vegetable Broccoli.  Visit this link to see the story

I had always like Sean Connery, and Roger Moore, the best, however, in rewatching the series, I had an interesting reaction to the Sean and Roger films, they were the most sexist of all.

I had not thought much regarding Daniel Craig, however, that did change in watching the series.  There was just something about the way he carried himself that seemed more interesting. 


Bond, James Bond!


As you can see there are 24 films in the series, so it did take considerable amount of time to go through the series ---- especially since I had to place holds on the DVDs through the library system.  While we waited for some of them to come in, we watched other movies, which will be in a different post.

By the way, the franchise turned 60 years old this year.  I do remember seeing Goldfinger in the theater when it came out, think I was in 10th grade?

Well, over and out.

Enjoy.  See you at the movies!
