I always loved this movie. It was the 3rd James Bond Movie after Dr. No and To Russian with Love. In fact, I was taking Army Basic Training at Fort Knox, KY when we were told just to fall down when coached. Never knew some of our shots would be in the movie but I cannot be sure our clip was in the film. Anyway, this is probably my number 1 James Bond movie of all times.

To me this is THE James Bond film! Pussy Galore!?! Are you kidding!?! The single most famous name in film history! Sean Connery is outstanding! He IS James Bond! Ask any woman who is James Bond and they will tell you Sean Connery! My wife creams her jeans every time she sees him in these films. And she's 57! I have seven(7) )of these films and they're all Sean Connery! The other guys just don't measure up. This guy was COOL! SMOOTH! and deadly! This film was the best. Not just Bond but Goldfinger, Oddjob, Jill Masterson (Shirley Eaton - would you?), Tilly Masterson and on and on! The scenery throughout is great - Switzerland, Kentucky, Miami! I suppose someone will disagree with me here but if they do they don't know anything about film. The other guys films were too dependant on special effects and too many gadgets. If you can seriously tell me Roger Moore, Geaorge Lazenby, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig are cooler and smoother and more believable than Mr. Connery than I can recommend a good mental hospital for you to reside in!Read full review
If you can see only one of the two-dozen-or-so James Bond movies, this would have to be the one. (If you can see two, catch "Diamonds are Forever" too.) "Goldfinger" features 007 Sean Connery at his suave best, chasing a memorable villain (with the best evil henchman ever) in the original gadget-laden spy car, while never even wrinkling the tuxedo under his wetsuit. Although released in 1964, it seems less dated (not to mention corny) as many of Roger Moore's 1970s Bod flicks. Certainly not as gritty or realistic as the most recent Bond, but the movie was made to be entertaining, not educational, and it serves up the fun generously. One thing about this movie that (as a pilot) drives me nuts: this is where everyone got the idea that you'll get sucked out like playdough if there's a little hole in the side of a plane. This theme has been endlessly repeated ever since Auric Goldfinger met his demise; once Hollywood gets an image like that in its writers' heads, a little thing like reality isn't going to stand in the way.Read full review
By far the best Bond film of them all. Its all been said up to this point, but many forget, or do not know, that Bond, for the 2nd time, displays the classic Rolex Explorer watch with the now famous NATO strap, that commands huge bucks if you can find one. (you can...) A model 5513 Rolex will fit the bill quite nicely, and can be had for as little as 5k, and the strap can be bought here on eBay for as little as 10 bucks. Rolex was with Bond until Brosnan openly touted Omega watches, both quartz and automatic, and that association continues today with the latest actor as well, with the Planet Ocean line by Omega. Nobody can top the Rolex worn by Connery however, a classic timeless look that is still offered new today via the Submariner and Explorer line. I just bought one, and I always think of Bond when looking at it, as I wear the exact strap he did in Goldfinger. Some things ARE timeless......Read full review
This is one of my best favorite James Bond movie. Love, love, love.
