My mind has just exploded. I didn’t know this but there are many other random actor connections in Bond, including: - Bill Tanner in the Craig era is played by the son of Roy Kinnear (Veruca Salt’s dad) - “Moneypenny” in the Craig films is the daughter of George Harris (Kingsley Shacklebolt in Harry Potter) - the guy Bond fights in Osato chemicals in You Only Live Twice is Dwayne Johnson’s grandad

[@hmshood9212]

Alright who’s with me on all the Bond films should be covered over the next two years. Or at least up until License to Kill

[@benedyctechessex2662]

I absolutely second this idea. Yes, I could not have put it better myself; I consider that all James Bond motion pictures that were made until the very end of the 1980s make up their classical era, what with their being produced at the time of the Cold War and everything else.

[@CSSLZT13]

Your idea is solid, however, I will freely admit I would not be a fan of James Bond without the masterpiece that is GoldenEye... the 1997 Nintendo 64 video game. XD

[@andrewklang809]

Excellent cut-off date. Right before the series became self-aware, and when it became torn between embracing the tropes/history and constantly trying to defy them. To nothing but mixed at best results. Casino Royale '06 is the only post-80s film in my viewing rotation. The last Bond film that really had something to say, or that took any chances whatsoever.

[@andrewklang809]

so much respect paid to Sean Connery in the first 3 minutes and 10 seconds with just voice over, that when it finally cuts back to Cinema Snob at 3:11, everyone is like "Oh right, bald guy in a chair, I totally forgot what I was watching"

[@joshslater2426]

Goldfinger is the template classic Bond film and my personal favourite. Great villain, great henchman, great Bond girls, great song, great score, clever villain’s plan and a cool as hell car. The only things that haven’t held up are the special effects (sped up footage) and Bond’s rather harsh treatment of women.

[@astrocitizen]

Surprised that the Snob didn't point out the almost-but-not-quite-edited-out, blink-and-you'll-miss last Korean commando accompanying Goldfinger on board the plane at the end.

[@joshslater2426]

Maybe one day the deleted scenes of Bond fighting him might materialise one day. There’s a deleted scene literally used in the title sequence, so there could be a chance it still exists somewhere.

Michael Caine would be great Bond, so I like his Harry Palmer very much. In the first movie, at least. It has Gordon Jackson in it! But I would like his Bond rendition being more in line with Get Carter.

[@ricardocantoral7672]

You great disservice to The Ipcress File by saying it's a "cash in". That was a brilliant psychological journey into the cold, unforgiving landscape of the Cold War. Palmer was a major presence but he felt like a tool being manipulated by people who couldn't care less if he died. No Bond movie has done better.

_Goldfinger_ was so good that Eon Productions just said "fuck it, we'll remake it" instead of creating new plots for James Bond movies.

[@ricardocantoral7672]

Subsequent Bond movies followed the style of Goldfinger but there were exceptions such as On Her Majesty's Secret Service, For Your Eyes Only, amd the two Dalton era films.

[@joshslater2426]

They lifted elements of Goldfinger, such as the henchman, gadget laden cars, a bombastic title song, gadgets, a 3 Bond girl combo, a pre-title sequence separate from the narrative, but elements of the n story have been swapped out. View to a Kill is the one that comes closest the copying Goldfinger directly, and quite a few are barely anything like it.
