11 Things You Learn Rewatching Dr. No

1. Sean Connery Is The Quintessential Bond

Everyone's got their own, passionate opinion about who the very best James Bond is, but almost six decades on, it's easy to see why so many still prefer the original, Sean Connery.

With his insane handsomeness, dashing suits and thorough ruthlessness, Connery's portrayal is responsible for the series enduring as it has, and without his work, who can say where the franchise would be now?

It's easy for those who haven't seen his Bond films in a while to forget just how pivotal his choices and contributions to the character were, and while subsequent portrayals have strayed from his version, the fact that Daniel Craig's Bond often feels like an homage to the spirit of Connery's performance is likely no coincidence.

He's beautiful, he's strong and he doesn't take s*** from anyone but he's also not a Superman. What more could you possibly want from the super-spy?
