The third installment in the JamesBond series sees Sean Connery reprises his role as James Bond. While vacationing in Miami Beach, Bond is directed by the MI6 n CIA to keep an eye on a bullion dealer Auric Goldfinger at the hotel there. During the investigation, Bond uncovers the gold magnate's sinister plan involving the United States Bullion Depository at Fort Knox.
This movie was the first to start with the gadgets and give us that most notable line "You expect me to talk? No Mr. Bond I expect you to die!". During a very memorable scene if you know why !It also starts a good performance from Gert Fröbe as Auric Goldfinger himself and Honor Blackman as the non nonsense Pussy Galore as well of couerse the icon baddie Oddjob played by Harold Sakata!
From Shirley bassey's belting title song of the same name to the story, gadgets and stunt this remains in my top 5, if not top3 even of my favourite Bond films ever since I was a kid. The score as well especially during the final scenes in Fort Knox. For me this is one of the top iconic James Bond films.
