I concede my list was incorrectly done. I have corrected it to include the first four movies and OHMSS as my top 5 movies. But I won't list them in order. Goldfinger is #1 and after that it depends on my mood. But those are the 5 movies that will always be essential to me.
RJJB, please don't be mean to AVTAK, it's not very nice. X-(
I try not to be, JFF. I try to hold back on saying too many negative things, but sometimes, I just can't. FYI, AVTAK was a movie I saw many times--here in the US, twice in Germany (Tanya Roberts was much better when she was dubbed) and even on a cruise ship. So you can take heart that I paid my respects.
1) From Russia With Love [34](+)
2) Goldfinger [23]
3) Thunderball [18]

Why would I want an apology from someone who lists the dreadful TND as a number 4 pick??
I don't think his list is accurate-- you will notice that many of the best movies aren't even on it.
