50 Greatest Action Movies Of All Time

9. Goldfinger (1964)

The third Bond movie is still regarded as arguably the greatest entry in the long-running series over 50 years later, perfecting the formula that would go on to define the franchise over the next several decades.

The pre-credits sequence, the shaken-not-stirred martini and the array of implausible gadgets came to the fore in Goldfinger, with Sean Connery giving his best performance as the character in a movie that deftly blends action, espionage, humour and romance.
