Goldfinger (1964)

In this installment, less serious in tone than its predecessor, Bond investigates the titular character, a millionaire suspected of wrongdoing. In one of the most memorable sequences, Goldfinger reveals his sinister scheme - to manipulate the world's economy - to a group of mobsters, complete with huge wall maps and small-scale 3D models. One of the mobsters then has a "pressing engagement". You'll have to see the movie to understand.

The film's locales include Miami, London, Switzerland and then finally Kentucky, where Bond's CIA pal Felix provides assistance. He also stops off for some fried chicken at Kentucky Fried Chicken! I love that product placement!

There are so many memorable scenes that it's hard to pick a favorite. Bond and the laser. Bond golfing with Goldfinger. And there's all the great scenes with Bond and his gadget-laden car.

Bond also makes a quip implying he's not much of a fan of the Beatles, that they're too noisy. Bond not liking the Beatles? Really interesting.
