Indy at his best
Advantages: Harrison Ford and Sean Connery
Disadvantages: none
Fans of the Indiana Jones films will love the third in the series. The film is called Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and was released in 1989.
This film is set in 1938 and sees the archaeologist, Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford), searching for his missing father, Professor Henry Jones (Sean Connery), who has gone missing while on his life long search for the Holy Grail. Indiana uses a Grail diary sent to him by his father from Italy, which has ...
...his father. Indiana receives assistance from wealthy collector, Walter Donavan (Julian Glover) who was funding Professor Jones search. Indiana and Marcus Brody (Denholm Elliott) begin adventure as they are drawn into the search for the Grail along with Indiana’s father, as they race against the Nazis who want the Grail for their own evil purposes.
This is an excellent film with a fantastic story that has some wonderful scenes and plenty of action ...

Best James Bond Movie
Advantages: Sean Connery, Outstanding perfomances, Good story.
Disadvantages: One bad perfomance.
From Russia with Love is one of the greatest movie of Sean Connery aka James Bond. Brilliant perfomance by Sean Connery. This movie is great because every character in this movie is strong that means perfomance by every individual is superb with an exception of Rosa Klebb(movie cast) coz her performance wasn't that good compared to others.
James bond travels through Russia and resolves his case with his cool attitude, perfect style and attire. And ...

Connery lives twice again after this
Advantages: Great atmospheric and artistic Bond film
Disadvantages: Nothing really
...in 1967 with this offering, You Only Live Twice, once again starring the charismatic Sean Connery, but with Lewis Gilbert in the director's chair for this one.
The Plot
With the Cold War ever intense, criminal organisation S.P.E.C.T.R.E. tries another tack. American and Russian spacecraft have disappeared in outer space, and they are blaming each other. Anxious to avoid all out war, Bond is dispatched to Japan to seek out the perpetrators. This ...
...enter into a relationship.
You Only Live Twice was filmed almost entirely on location in Japan, and the filming is done marvellously, capturing the beauty of the countryside and the mountains and castles. The Japanese music employed in the film also sets the scene and the mood in all sequences. The acting and directing is also done very well, and I found myself enjoying this film from an angle different to that of a Bond film, more from a critical ...

Thunderous Balls!
Advantages: Great Bond film
Disadvantages: Behind the scenes tension apparent in the film
...performances.
My Opinion
Thunderball was originally the film that Bond producer Cubby Broccoli wanted to film first. The team were not so interested in going in chronological order as they already did not have the rights to the very first of Ian Fleming's Bond books, Casino Royale. I am personally glad that they have gone with the option of chronology with the Bond films, because it means that each film learns from the last, and I am not sure if ...
...had Bond not already made a 3-film impact. As it is, there is tension in the film that does not seem due to the plot itself, and is maybe a measure of the ongoing rights dispute to the story, with Ian Fleming and writers Kevin McClory and Jack Whittingham contesting who actually conceived the idea.
In the heart of the Cold War, tensions running high regarding nuclear and ballistic missiles mean that this film was very topical at the time, and Young ...
