The Bond movies that have the licence to thrill<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The man that men want to be and women want to be with – that is right, we said it. James Bond has been setting the bar high for men for over four decades, thanks to his debonair demeanor, combat skills and clever one-liners, we can never get enough.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There have been over 20 movies bringing in over $5.5 billion worldwide. It is clear that Bond is a brand that everyone around the world can relate to and celebrate – he certainly is Britain\u2019s best export!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With Skyfall<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span> due to be released soon we thought we would look back at how Bond has developed over the years. Our Top 5 James Bond Movies:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5: Diamonds are Forever<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bond:<\/strong> Sean Connery<\/p>\n

Favourite One Liner:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tiffany Case: \u201cI\u2019ll finish dressing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

James Bond: \u201cOh please don\u2019t, not on my account.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Sean Connery returned for Diamonds are Forever, 007 as he investigates a diamond-smuggling plot which involves action thrills and the obvious highlight being a car chase that winds up on the streets of Las Vegas. Bond\u2019s revenge-fueled chase to end Blofeld\u2019s reign makes for great viewing. The end result being a fitting send-off for Connery\u2019s run as James Bond!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4: For Your Eyes Only<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nBond:<\/strong> Roger Moore
\nFavourite one liner:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

James Bond:<\/span> “Now put your clothes back on, and I’ll buy you an ice cream”<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After the undeniable excess of predecessors The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only bolted Bond back to the mainstream. Increasingly over-the-top gadgets and set-pieces are put aside in favor of a more realistic and real feel. And while the storyline is nothing too left-field, For Your Eyes Only certainly benefits from the inclusion of increasingly thrilling action sequences, including a fast-paced chase on a ski slope – you remember, don’t you?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3: GoldenEye<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nBond:<\/strong> Pierce Brosnan
\nFavourite one-liner:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Xenia Onatopp: \u201cYou don’t need the gun, Commander\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

James Bond: \u201cWell, that depends on your definition of safe sex\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After the disappointment of Timothy Dalton\u2019s two-movie run, GoldenEye — featuring Pierce Brosnan\u2019s first go-around as 007 — certainly comes off as a welcome return to the Connery days as 007. The story line follows Bond as he attempts to stop a agent from crippling the world via computers and technology! A insightful storyline for the time.\u00a0 It was also memorable for Famke Janssen\u2019s star-making work as Onatopp and has secured her place within the hall of fame of great Bond girls.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2: Goldfinger<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nBond:<\/strong> Sean Connery
\nFavourite one-liner:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pussy Galore: \u201cMy name is Pussy Galore\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

James Bond: \u201cI must be dreaming\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There\u2019s little doubt that Goldfinger has come to set-out what a perfect James Bond adventure looks like, as the film boasts a whole host of iconic elements: memorable characters (Pussy Galore, Oddjob) and quotable dialogue \u201cNo, Mr. Bond; I expect you to die!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The film subsequently remains a favorite for fans around the globe, with Sean Connery at his charismatic best!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The movie also hosts Twitter\u2019s favorite one-liner: after tossing a lamp into a bathtub holding a bad guy, Bond exclaims: \u201cShocking! Positively Shocking!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1: Casino Royale<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bond:<\/strong> Daniel Craig
\nFavourite one-liner:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vesper Lynd: “Am I going to have a problem with you, Mr. Bond?”<\/p>\n

James Bond: “No, don’t worry, you’re not my type”<\/p>\n

Vesper Lynd: “Smart?”<\/p>\n

James Bond: “Single”
\nThe James Bond series got a hard and fast reboot with Casino Royale, as 007\u2019s origins are explored in a film that details his first field assignment and his first encounter with a dastardly villain (Mads Mikkelsen\u2019s Le Chiffre).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Daniel Craig put in a great proformance as Bond and actually made 007 more human, with the character\u2019s ill-fated romance with Eva Green\u2019s Vesper Lynd proving instrumental in his transformation from mild-mannered spy to calculating killer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Though it does drag on a little too long, Casino Royale ultimately satisfies both long-time fans of the series and younger viewers who\u2019ve never seen Bond in action before. Craig\u2019s first run at Bond proved successful and the movie making Bond the killer the country needs in a time of plight, was a cold and calculated move.<\/p>\n
