Directed with consummate skill by Terence Young, the second James Bond spy thriller is considered by many fans to be the best of them all. Certainly Sean Connery was never better as the dashing Agent 007, whose latest mission takes him to Istanbul to retrieve a top-secret Russian decoding machine. His efforts are thwarted when he gets romantically distracted by a sexy Russian double agent (Daniela Bianchi), and is tracked by a lovely assassin (Lotte Lenya) with switchblade shoes, and by a crazed killer (Robert Shaw), who clashes with Bond during the film's dazzling climax aboard the Orient Express. From Russia with Love is classic James Bond, before the gadgets, pyrotechnics, and Roger Moore steered the movies away from the more realistic tone of the books by Ian Fleming. --Jeff Shannon

Recently watched it. Two down. Great stuff, especially the ending "There's a saying in England: Where there's smoke, there's fire."

I'd rank this one slightly higher than Dr. No due to the great ending. So far my ranking is:

From Russia with Love
Dr. No

Too bad. Only Goldfinger compares to this one. Hard to believe you hadn't seen this until now. My #1 Bond movie ever.

Yeah, for some reason I never got into the Bond films. I did see the Casino Royale remake, but I'm not ranking it until I see all the previous films. Goldfinger is up next.
