50 Greatest Action Movies Of All Time

9. Goldfinger (1964)

Crank 2
United Artists

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.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
