Goldfinger (1964) 10/10 - Classic Bond. My second favorite. In fact, the only other Bond I've even contemplated as possibly my favorite. But it's not. But it is classic. There's so much I could say, but I feel like everything's been said already. Great villain, great score, great Bond girl, great car, great action. It's just so classic! There's not much else to say. The movie's awesome. Unfortunately (or fortunately), it set the comic-book-y trend for the rest of the series. I mean, there's a lot in this movie that's ridiculous. But that's okay. What's not okay is some of the ridiculous stuff in the later movies. And while I love every Bond movie, and their cheesy tones, I can't help but wonder if the world would be a better place if the rest of the Bond films were more like FRWL. After this, Bond wasn't a spy anymore. Seriously, why would a British agent be in charge of stopping a guy steal gold from Fort Knox (this is a rhetorical question, I know they explain why in the film). After this, Bond was a superhero. But, whatever. This movie's still amazing.
