There is no longer and more amazing movie franchise in history than the James Bond one. Starting in 1962 and still chugging along with its latest release in 2008, this 22-movie series has changed considerably over time, but has always remained a very deep personal favorite of mine.
If you haven't heard of James Bond before, shame on you. Unless you've been living under a rock or something.
If you haven't seen a James Bond movie before, that's understandable enough. Perhaps the reason you haven't is only because you've never gotten around to it. Or maybe it's because it's never really appealed to you. Both are pretty legitimate reasons, and I hope to convince you that there are some pretty classic James Bond movies out there, even amidst some pretty terrible ones. And this is a huge fan talking.
So, I figured I would take a break from all these random, artsy-fartsy movies for a little while and review some of the more classic James Bond movies, as well as some of the more shameful ones perhaps. My goal is to convince those of you who have never seen a movie to try and see at least one of the twenty-two James Bond movies out there. If nothing else, do it for cultural literacy!
So, in a few days, I will begin this effort. But in the meantime, enjoy this little warm-up trailer:
