James Bond fans I thought that instead of producing another Review of a James Bond I would instead do something a little bit different. That being I would list my top 6 official Sean Connery James Bond films simply because this really hasn't been done as for ground rules i will only be covering films that Sean has starred in that belong to the off EON Productions produced James Bond films and so enjoy the post everyone.
6) Diamonds Are Forever
Now I have a kind of love hate relationship with this film since it was the first Sean Connery James Bond film I ever saw. On the flip side of that this is easily his worst official James Bond film in my opinion because everything that can go wrong does go wrong and while thus film might be more entertaining then Thunderball it's characters aren't memorable and how the film Blofeld is beyond laughable in my opinion.
5) Thunderball
Now I know that thus might be seen as controversial but in my opinion Thunderball is better then Diamonds Are Forever. Since Thunderball for all it's many faults is still memorable even if it is for all of the wrong reasons and to the films credit is doesn't treat it's main villain Emilio Largo (played by Adolfo Celi who was dubbed in the film by Robert Rietty) plus the film did give us the wonderful Fiona Volpe who was played by Luciana Paluzzi and the reason i'm not going into that much detail about this film is because i'm thinking about taking another look at the film and re-reviewing it in a few days time and so I don't want to be repeating myself should I do the review.
4) You Only Live Twice
The third to last James Bond film that Sean Connery starred in at least when it comes to the official James Bond film series that is anyways. I have very recently re-reviewed this film and so I won't go into that much detail here since I would just be repeating myself but this is a really fun Sean Connery James Bond film and while it's not the one that I think of when I think of good Sean Connery James Bond film it is the one that I think of if I just want to watch a James Bond film that's pure fun to watch or at least I think it's fun to watch.
3) Dr. No
Now this might seem wrong putting the very first James Bond film here but that's only because there are two Sean Connery James Bond films that I think are better and i've you've been working this out you'll know exactly what those two remaining James Bond films are. Dr. No deserves all of the love and attention that it gets because without it we wouldn't be waiting for No Time To Die to hopefully be released next year and this very blog and thus this very post wouldn't exist bottom line with Dr. No there is no James Bond film franchise either from EON Productions or from some other film company , Dr. No is placed here because everything that this film does is done ten times better in future James Bond films and not just Sean Connery James Bond films.
2) From Russia With Love
While I do have alot of love and respect for Dr. No if I was pushed I would say that From Russia With Love is the better film of the two. Since this film is shockingly well written and the film does a good job of not only setting up SPECTRE , Red Grant and Rosa Klebb but it also does a semi good job of handling the very freaking complex story and while like with all films this film does have it's fair share problems for me the things that the film does good far outweigh the thing it does bad.
1) Goldfinger
Goldfinger for me is the Bond film to beat all Bond films some people think that that honour goes to Skyfall and that's fine but nothing beats Goldfinger in my eyes. This film started so much of what we love and take for granted in the James Bond films like having the pre-title sequence be it's own mini mission or the fact that there are alot of gadgets both of these things started with this film and on top of that Honor Blackman is perfectly cast as Pussy Galore and the villain Auric Goldfinger is a classic and memorable James Bond villain there are many reasons as to why this film is the best Sean Connery James Bond film but if I listed them all then i'd be here all day.
All and in this case I truly mean all of the images that I used in this post were gathered from the official James Bond fandom wiki page. Since I only went to one website for the images that I used in this post I have no choice but to recommend that you guys use the official James Bond fandom wiki page if you want images from and of the James Bond films be they from the official EON Productions James Bond film franchise or from another indepandently produced James Bond film.
