Top 10 Bond movies

The 23rd installment of the James Bond saga clearly pushes toward all the "top 10" lists. So far one of my favorites is the Top 10 Bond theme songs, where Adele's "Skyfall" is pretty high, somewhere around Tina Turner's "Goldeneye" - a total hit of 1990s, not only in terms of a Bond song, and Shirley Bassey's two theme songs (about the resemblance I already wrote in my review of "Skyfall" here). Now I thought of my own very private list of favorite Bond movies, as I've really seen them all, and not so long ago to forget.

First impressions on Skyfall

"Skyfall" is truly really great, exciting, impressive, wonderful! After such an intro no further comments should be necessary, but in this case, few remarks are nevertheless in order. Well, Bond goes back to his roots, literally. Finally more scenes are shot in Britain, in London and Scotland. James drives an Aston Martin again, and although he has a fling with a certain beer brand, he also drinks a martini. But, as in previous Daniel Craig parts, also here, Bond is more human. A flesh-and-blood agent, although not deprived of his unique and traditional style, class and sense of humor. I was really excited to see blond Javier Bardem as the bad guy, and he is also one of the highlights of the movie, along with a young Q (Ben Whishaw) and old-school M (Judi Dench). The story is less complicated than with "Quantum of Solace," and it is a real advantage. The director Sam Mendes really hits it off with the 50th anniversary! Let's hope the same crew stays for the next, 24th installment of James Bond's adventures. Oh, and one more thing: finally at the end the board with "James Bond will be back" appeared! How I longed to see that!

Bond 50th Anniversary

My favourite secret agent celebrates the 50th anniversary of his first appearance on screen, and he does it with style. James Bond has not only showed up with the Queen during the Olympics in London, but the premiere of the new film "Skyfall" is just around the corner! (October 26th). Can't wait!

Below, my personal choice of best photos with ALL the Bonds... Enjoy!
