1. Come on! From Russia with Love!
Sun Oct 25, 2015, 11:00 AM

First, filmed in Istanbul. Second, Pedro Armendariz last film. He committed suicide upon learning he had terminal cancer. Third, Robert Shaw. No better bad guy. Fourth, Lotte Lenya as the ultra bad guy. Fifth (and one can tell that the order here is not important), is Daniela Bianchi who is one of the top Bond women ever.

But more than all, From Russia with Love has everything that any suspense flick needs. Plus, it has the advantage of Bond not having to do obviously staged impossible tasks, for instance, like riding cellos down a ski slope.

Plus, it is a beautifully filmed flick, in Istanbul.

The iconic Bond flick, IMHO.

Best regards!
