Dr. No is kind of silly and overrated (my opinion), but From Russia With Love has been my favorite Bond since I was a kid. Then I think it was partly because it was my introduction to the franchise, but now I appreciate it as a grounded spy flick (that still retains key elements of the Bond formula). It’s a no-nonsense lean and mean adventure thriller (almost Hitchcockian in a way - very North by Northwest). Plus it’s got two of the best villains ever (Grant and Klebb). If you don’t like it then, well, I feel sorry for you. Great fun.
