Goldfinger is probably the best known of all the Bond films. The scene with Shirley Eaton covered in gold paint is one of the all time classic moments in cinema.
However, does Goldfinger live up to all they hype? It most certainly does! This is the Bond movie where all the classic elements come together. The cool gadgets, slightly off-beat villans, over the top story, silly names and plenty of women.
*** spoiler alert ***
Of course, the most well known gadget in all the Bond films is in "Goldfinger". Obviously, I'm referring to the Aston Martin DB5 with machine guns, ejection seat, smoke screen, tracking system and many other cool and deadly items. ;)
The story for Goldfinger is also one of the more original Bond stories. Many Bond films fall back on the old formula of a meglomaniac who wants to destroy the world. In this one, the villan (Goldfinger) simply wants to destroy the gold reserve at Fort Knox to cripple the US economy and boost the value of his own gold.
*** end spoilers ***
Although "From Russia With Love" is my favourite Bond movie, I would still have to rate "Goldfinger" equally at 10/10
