1963 brought us the second and one of the best James Bond films, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE. It's amazing this film is nearly 50 years old. The photography, writing, music and editing still hold up beautifully. Connery really becomes BOND here, adding his dry wit, style and class to the role. There are so many great sequences here, including the great fight aboard the train between Bond and Grant (Robert Shaw) that still ranks as one of the all-time best fight sequences, Lotte Lenya as one of the strangest and most lethal Bond villians with a wicked pair of shoes, Daniella Bianchi as Tatiana, the girl fight at the gypsy camp and the first appearance of Q. The writing and serious tone were probably never equaled until Daniel Craig's debut in Casino Royale. This is a film classic AND a Bond classic! A
