Trailer
Why watch this film?
After the success of Ian Fleming's books, former Royal Navy officer Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman joined forces to create EON Productions and make movies based on the character James Bond. They struck a deal with United Artists for distribution and the movie was mostly shot in Jamaica, where Fleming liked to spend his holidays writing books. Scotsman Sean Connery was chosen for the lead role, who would become iconic as the character. However, production was quite troubled, missing deadlines and going over budget, while the final result was not well received by critics at the time. What matters is that the audience loved 'Dr. No', be it for the action scenes, aesthetics, rhythm or Bond's charm. Today, the movie is considered a classic (albeit a bit dull for the younger ones) and laid the foundations for the longest-running franchise in the seventh art.

From Russia With Love
After the box office success of the inaugural James Bond franchise film, Eon Productions invested much more in a sequel and an annual production model for the character. 'From Russia With Love' arrives in this climate, expanding the action sequences and taking the secret agent even closer to the Cold War atmosphere of those times. The story also has the merit of citing for the first time in cinema the Soviet organization SMERSH (the main antagonist of the 007 books) and introduces SPECTRE, which would gain even greater prominence in the following films. Another novelty, which would become the hallmark of the series, is the arrival of John Barry as the main composer - and the introduction of a musical opening, accompanied by the song 'From Russia With Love', sung by Matt Monro. The script may seem a bit innocent to those accustomed to current films, but it's good fun.
Thunderball
One of the great (and most controversial) films in the James Bond 007 franchise. After all, the movie is based on the book 'Thunderball' - which, in turn, was written from elements of an unused screenplay by Kevin McClory. After a legal dispute, Eon managed to get the rights to the story with McClory and released the movie that introduces the most famous villain of the secret agent: Ernst Stavro Blofeld, with his face never revealed, the white cat in his lap and the aesthetics that became the villain cliché in cinemas. It is also here that the franchise begins to appeal to more spectacular situations, gadgets out of reality and much more - something that would be further deepened in the following feature films. A mixture of melodrama, action and espionage at the right point, in a portrait of the culture of the late 1960s.
