You Only Live Twice
One of the very best of the Bonds, boasting a jaw-dropping pace and impeccable action sequences amid stunning scenery. Sean Connery, in slyly macho mode as 007, goes on a mission to Japan to take on crime syndicate Spectre and its evil boss Blofeld (Donald Pleasence). Director Lewis Gilbert ensures no expense is spared (no wonder Blofeld's cat is a luxurious Persian) and designer Ken Adam puts that production money where his volcano is. As a bonus, one of the writers is Roald Dahl. Eat your bargain-basement heart out, Pierce Brosnan!
