Kids will love his manservant Oddjob, who can crush a golf ball with one hand and has a bowler hat complete with a deadly metal brim, and they’ll be on the edge of their seats during the scene in which Goldfinger attempts to cut Bond in half with a laser. The third James Bond movie is also one of the most memorable, with Sean Connery at his suave best (this is the one where he removes a wetsuit to reveal his tux underneath) as 007 and Gert Fröbe unforgettable as baddie Auric Goldfinger, who is best known, of course, for covering poor Jill (Shirley Eaton) in suffocating gold paint.

After all, the movies are aimed at adults, and some of them are pretty raunchy (Famke Janssen as Xenia Onatopp, who crushes men with her thighs in GoldenEye for example) and sometimes violent (most of the Timothy Dalton outings, for starters). More than five decades later and we have had 24 ‘official’ Bond movies (1967’s parody Casino Royale, and 1983’s Thunderball remake Never Say Never Again aren’t counted as proper Bonds by fans), with the latest, Spectre, now out in cinemas.
