Dr No

The first film in the series that has stood the test of the time.
More than 50 years since it graced the big screen, Dr No can still entertain fans. It is where we first meet the film version of Ian Fleming's super spy (Bond,) James Bond, the man with 007 status with a license to kill.
It is here we are first introduced to his ability to get information or access secret locations by any means necessary - and yes, that does involve seducing and potentially sleeping with multiple, attractive women.
Dr Julius No is the first villain in the series, and his plot to disrupt a United States' mission to the moon using a radio beam.
The first car chase in Bond history is a simple but effective one, but the magic of this film began with the first scene. It follows three blind men as they travel in a conga line of sorts through a city, with the timeless "Three Blind Mice" playing as they do so. Very simple, yet effective.
Sean Connery does a great job int he role, so much so that many believe his version (being the original) is the best. His turn as Bond also launched Connery's career.

Dr No (1962): 114 minutes.
Bond song: The James Bond Theme and Under the Mango Tree (Diana Coupland).
