Ah Goldfinger, the Bond movie where they finally cracked the formula for decades afterward. Cold open mission, big musical intro, briefing with M, flirting with Moneypenny, gadget briefing with "Q", taunting the villains through multiple encounters, villain henchman.

It was only the 3rd film. But it was a phenomenon within the phenomenon. Good story, theme song, dialogue, villains, girls, action, sexiness, etc. 007 was a much bigger number than before. This was when it truly became a franchise. Blockbuster-wise, theaters stayed open 24 hrs just to keep the crowds pleased. Product-wise; clothes, cars, cologne or anything that was connected to Bond was being sold like crazy. For the James Bond establishment on film, it set the bar even higher.

[@gildavis8266]

The thing about "Goldfinger", unlike "Dr. No" or "From Russia with Love" that you have to understand is the is where the foundation was set establishing the standard for every Bond film that was to follow. It was the formula that made the franchise successful. All movies start with the completion of his former mission, or the fallout of the same. Then there's the plot established by the villain, the assignment by M, the banter between Bond and Moneypenny, the gadgets offered via Q Branch, the location where the story takes place, the first meeting between Bond and the arch villain, (who is always a rich megalomaniac), the sacrificial lamb, who dies, the situation where Bond meets the Fin Fatal who is caught up in the plot, the chief hitch man who traps Bond, followed by the tense moments where Bond defeats the evil plan. Has his way with the girl and moves on.

[@sabrecatsmiladon7380]

I like my reactions shaken....not stirred! This movie is generally rated as the most "favorite" Bond movie on polls over the years.

You'd make a fantastic Moneypenny. Your cute glasses and mischievous smile are perfect for the part. 🤭🥰

[@robertstephenson9760]

Two of my all time favourite movies are Goldfinger and Bullitt with Steve McQueen. I just love the style and fashions of the period, and I don't think any other lead actors ever looked cooler on screen. Both have killer soundtracks too.

[@chucksmash1]

Hell Yeah, i totally agree! Bullitt is a badass flick with a truly killer soundtrack!

[@Tempest_Elixir]

I agree Lalo Schifrin knocked it out the park!

[@TheWebcrafter]

9:00 - Auric Goldfinger was played by Gert Fröbe. Fröbe, who spoke little English, said his lines phonetically, but was too slow. To redub him, he had to double the speed of his performance to get the right tempo. The only time his real voice is heard is during his meeting with members of the Mafia. Bond is hidden below the model of Fort Knox whilst Fröbe's natural voice can be heard above. However, he was redubbed for the rest of the film by TV actor Michael Collins. The match is widely praised as one of the most successful dubs in cinema history.

[@stephengabriel7216]

I grew up in New York city. I was 10 when Goldfinger came out and I remember the line at the movie theater was 2 blocks long. After the move came there were action figures. There was an Odd Job figure that could throw his hat and an Aston Martin DB5 model with an ejector seat, machine guns and the bullet proof shield. The car cost $4 dollars and My allowance was 50 cents a week. I didn’t get candy, soda or comic books and just saved my money for the toy car. I went to a catholic school and the boys were required to wear ties, which we hated. After Goldfinger, we got rid our clip on ties for real ones and wore blazers to school so we could look like 007.

[@dan_hitchman007]

It's interesting to note that No. 1, the head of SPECTRE, is never played by the same actor twice until the Daniel Craig films. I always thought that Max Von Sydow was the most iconic of the villainous, cat loving, leaders. My favorite henchman has always been Jaws. You'll see him later in the Roger Moore era, Jen. He was in two Bond films since he was very popular at the time. It's too bad that they stopped having such memorable and unique henchpeople in the later Bonds. They were always a staple of the classic films.

[@jackprescott9652]

Yes, i think Jaws is the top Bond Villain henchman of the Franchise. My best Bond Villain could be Hugo Drax or Stronberg, both wanted to literaily destroy the world.

I think I like Thunderball the best of Connery Bond films. It has a cool opening sequence and, if memory serves, a lot of interesting underwater sequences.

[@Crolis]

I like Thunderball because the Bond is constantly having to catch up to what the bad guys are doing... for most of the movie he's a step behind trying to figure out what's going on which makes it a good adventure for me. I also like Luciana Paluzzi as the femme fatale, Fiona Volpe.

[@stern12akachris32]

This is the movie that set the formula !!!!!! The car , the story of the car is almost as fun as the Movies. Years later a collector with not the best background bought it. They stored it in a airport hanger . One night someone got past security and stole one of the most famous movie cars ever. It has never been seen again. All kinds of rumors on where it is but the car that is probably worth 10 Million Dollars today, has been lost and may never be found.

[@jorluo]

There was an Aston Martin DB Mark III car in Ian Fleming's Goldfinger novel, but the Aston Martin company was by no means particularly enthusiastic about the Bond film. John Stears, a two-time Academy Award-winning special effects expert, went to Aston Martin to try and make a deal with them. Among the cars he saw a beautiful prototype DB5 and fell in love with it. It was not easy but John Stears eventually charmed Aston Martin's general manager and they got the car. With the success of the Goldfinger, the sales of Aston Martin went up by 60 percent and after that they never had any more problems getting cars from manufacturers for Bond films. The first so called Bond car (DB5) in Goldfinger made such an impression that it has since appeared in six more Bond films.

Goldfinger was played by German actor Gert Fröbe. However, he spoke little English and it was felt that he was too difficult to be understood as he had to speak his lines phonetically, so, actually, his voice was dubbed for virtually the entire movie by English actor Michael Collins

[@steriopticon2687]

Fun fact: Sean Connery and Gert Frobe were both in the D-Day movie The Longest Day.

[@user-ky6vw5up9m]

Moneypenny was Canadian Actress Lois Maxwell. Many “American” parts and voiceovers were done by Canadians at the time, as it was easier for them to get work visas for U.K.

[@machfront]

Goldfinger is the film that established the Bond movie ‘formula’ that exists to this day: gun barrel walk, pre-credits sequence, sultry movie theme song with the racy credits, meeting with M, Q, Moneypenny and the villain, gadgets, amazing set designs for the villain’s lair, etc.

[@aharonwilliams7195]

Great reaction, Jen! I love that you named the music low key MVP. This is the Bond movie that first incorporates the music and imagery in the title sequence that continue for every Bond movie since. An epic title song featured with silhouetted women and themed imagery become just as iconic as anything the character says or does. Seven Bond theme songs would go on to become top ten hits on the Billboard Hot 100 (including Shirley Bassey’s Goldfinger).

[@jenmurrayxo]

Thanks Aharon! 😊👍

[@LuisOrtiz-xo5kc]

Maurice Binder was the creator of the title sequences of the Bond films until the 80's. My favorite theme songs are You Only Live Twice (Nancy Sinatra), Her Majesty's Secret Service (which is instrumental), Live and Let Die (Paul McCartney & The Wings), A View to a Kill (Duran Duran) and Goldeneye (Tina Turner ft. U2).

I first saw 'Goldfinger' 60 yrs ago, during the summer between my sophomore and junior yrs in high school. I snuck into the theater through the rear exit with my buddy, Jackie. It was a smash hit then, and I enjoyed the Bond mystique. But now it just seems like a giddy, cheesy romp. The best part of the experience is the 007 Goldfinger theme song, sung with power and beauty by Miss Shirley Bassey. Her story about the recording is captivating - see Wikipedia for the funny details.

[@Frogberto]

Love that you’re viewing all the classic “Bondy” films! I think you’ll have fun. But when you are done, you have to - have to - watch the Austin Powers movies. They hilariously parody all the scenes you’ll recognize even in the films so far.

Very glad that you've easily caught up with tropes and archetypes in Bond movies that quick! Goldfinger is the only Connery Bond movie that takes a breather from SPECTRE.

In the book, Goldfinger does have a hand in SPECTRE. I forget exactly in what capacity.

One of my favorites. Honestly, there's just such a good nostalgia for the older Bond movies that aren't so damn serious or trying to push bizarre agendas and narratives these days. These were just fun, at times outlandish, cool, sexy, action-y movies that never took themselves too seriously and certainly didn't patronize the audience.

This is THE bond movie. Its the 1st movie that has everything - The gadgets, the bondgirls with the most outragous names the Aston Martin, the original theme and the best Bond theme of them all (although Live & Let Die comes a close 2nd). Some fun facts - Pussy Galore was played by Honnor Blackman, who played Kathy Gayle, the 1st woman partner of John Steed in the UK TV series The Avengers (not the marvel stuff) from the 1960s, When she left Diana Rigg replaced her as Mrs Peel. This is very much a cult series, that was ressurected in the 1970s as The New Avengers and appeared in the late 1990s as a movie with Uma Thurman as Mrs Peel. The Theme song Goldfinger was sung by Dame Shirley Bassey who did 2 further Bond Themes (Diamonds are Forever and Moonraker) and is the only singer to do more than 1 Bond Theme.

I was 8 years old in 1964, and I did not see any of the early Bond films until around 1968. It was a double feature at one of our local theaters that I was lucky enough to go see. First Bond feature was "From Russia With Love" and the second one was "Thunderball" which that is my all time favorite Bond film. Everyone's favorite is "Goldfinger" back in 1964 and to this very day. And during the Bond films there were many other spy films, some good and some very, very bad, and even at that time as well some very popular TV spy shows. Also I do remember as a kid there were a lot of spy toys including James Bond; James Bond game boards, several type of James Bond slot car racing sets, James Bond Attache Case, I even had the Corgi James Bond Aston Martin DB5 that had the ejector seat with the front passenger holding a gun, the Bullet Proof Shield, and pop out Machine Guns. Corgi car toys made of all metal are from England and equivalent to USA's Match Box Cars. For me Sean Connery was the best James Bond, Daniel Craig is the second best. What I like about Daniel Craig as James Bond he is much darker. Excellent reaction to the James Bond films. I'll be waiting for your reaction on "Thunderball" and "You Only Live Twice" with Sean Connery.

Fun fact! Honor Blackman playing Pussy Galore is wearing a Rolex GMT Master ref. 6542 (First woman btw featured with a man's sportswatch on film). Today this highly soughtafter Rolex collectible has been named "The Pussy Galore" !

[@countgeekula9143]

Connery in that grey suit... The peak of male coolness!

[@fredmarinovich5477]

When I saw this in the movies in 1965 it was so far ahead of it’s time. Enjoyed watching your reaction, especially your facial expression when Pussy Galores character was introduced. She was played by Honor Blackman a well respected English actor who I believe was older than Sean Connery

I saw it when released and noticed the same thing you did. Of course, back in the day, it was very edgy. It's hard for people today to realize the sensation this movie caused when it came out. Everyone was talking about it and of course we went back to the theater to see it multiple times. I think we paid $1.50 to see the movie.

[@fredmarinovich5477]

@@aaaht3810 yeah….I was 15 and had never seen anything like it. But now looking back,I think the music was a big part of it.

[@aaaht3810]

@@fredmarinovich5477 I was 15 as well. My older brother had seen it and could not stop talking about it. He had the soundtrack album. I remember my mother did not approve of the album cover and some of the photos on the back (I believe one was the woman in the tub). Different times. But great memories.

Fun fact: Oddjob's actor Harold Sakata burned his hand when getting electrocuted, but still wouldn't let go of the hat since Guy Hamilton didn't say 'cut'.

Thunderball YES! The Goldfinger theme, sung br Shirley Bassey, is the best Bond theme song IMO. Followed closely by “Golden Eye” sung by Tina Turner. The Thunderball theme song is sung by Tom Jones, and is another banger.

I was allowed to go to one of the downtown theaters in San Diego at young mature age of 11. It definitely made a lasting impression on this very young man.

GOLDFINGER in my opinion is the Best Bond Film ever!!!The opening is the best opening to any movie I've seen!!!The musical soundtrack to this one in particular was Astounding!!And Shirley Bassey doing the theme song!!!The best gadgets too!!!Aston Martin DB5 with modifications!!!The Best Villian!!!!

Whilst they become a mixed bag, it is probably worth doing them all because they are all entertaining, The Bond franchise swings between the perfect blend of action and wit, through to too jokey or too poe-faced, but I doubt any of them would feel like a waste of time and they are all worthy of reactions.

My favorite Bond film is 3 films in the series away, but it's a good idea to watch the series development even though they don't follow the novels' chronology. But please be sure to watch ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE.

[@cboscari]

Hands down the best Bond story, I think.

[@jollyrodgers7272]

Really love that one, too! That was the first one I was able to see in the theater due to the age restriction. Dianna Rigg played the short-lived Mrs. Bond and Telly Savalas as Blofeld. Olympic Gold Medal skier Jean-Claude Killy did the stunt skiing. The mountaintop fortress Schilthorn was still under construction, but provided the iconic lair.

[@michaelkonig530]

Goldfinger is the prototypical Bond film, with the pre-title sequence that doesn‘t necessarily have to be connected with the main plot, the title song, the cool gadgets, and over-the-top villains. The producers saw Gerd Fröbe in a German movie where he played a child murderer, and his agent claimed that he knew English. Unfortunately, he didn‘t, so he had to learn his lines phonetically and was latter overdubbed, but the voice is very close to the original. Even with these difficulties he is probably one of the best Bond villains ever. BTW, the plot on Iain Flemming‘s book was actually less practical, because in it they tried to steal the gold with the use of a train. So this was changed to increasing the gold value by using a dirty bomb on Fort Knox. The music sequence that starts with the planes taking off is one of the best in the Bond movies and probably one of the best works of composer John Barry. Unfortunately, his later music sounded a lot similar. Starting with his Oscar win for „Out of Africa“ he began to use the same arrangements and orchestrations over and over again. Even „Dances with Wolves“ sounds almost exactly like „Out of Africa“.

I had Bond's car as a Corgi car in the 1970s. I'd guess was about 3x2". It was made of metal. It included 2 machine guns that popped out the front, a (metal) shield that popped up the back, two tire choppers that came out the back 2 tires, and a working ejection seat!!!

@@chrismeulen8108 I agree some of the stuff maybe dated but I still love watching it. Some people see old and can't get past it.

Goldfinger set the tone for future Bond films with use of gadgets, Bond women especially more then one at times in films, Bond villains with plans of world domination or other motives, over the top sets, music etc.

[@jaygould2816]

Definitely keep going! There’s no such thing as a bad Bond film (just some “less good” ones…). Always fun and good entertainment value in the suave spy-guns-cars-girls-villains-explosions ratio.

[@adamblackwelder5863]

Fun fact: Goldfinger is the only James Bond movie soundtrack album that went to #1 (so far). That happened in 1965, temporarily knocking out the Mary Poppins movie soundtrack album from the top spot!

This is arguably the best of all the Bond movies. It consistently rates in the top 3 according to fan polls.

The criminal with the "pressing engagement" was called Napoleon Solo, a name that Bond author Ian Fleming also gave to the producers of the TV series _The Man from U.N.C.L.E._ for its lead character.
