Bond: Daniel Craig
Ever wondered why and how Bond became the way that we know him? How does one become a cold-blooded, sarcastic and emotionally cut-off assassin? "Casino Royale" answers all those questions in one of the smartest prequels ever put together. Daniel Craig brings the rough and toughness back to the Bond character that had been lacking for so long. "Casino Royale" is not just a great Bond movie, but also a great film in general.
"Goldfinger"
Bond: Sean Connery
In the words of Connery's best turn as Bond, "Shocking! Positively shocking!" This movie is the epitome of what makes a great Bond movie. Whether it is the ridiculous names for Bond girls (Pussy Galore) or the large-scale action sequences, this film has it all. Connery is arguably at his best and the villains are truly bone-chilling. This was the first Bond movie to have a famous artist sing the opening song for the movie, a trend that has continued to this day. One of the most famous lines of dialogue is also present in this film: "A martini, shaken, not stirred." "Goldfinger" still remains one of the best and most iconic spy movies of our time.
