DML Rating: ★★★★★★★★★☆ - near perfect

"World domination. The same old dream. Our asylums are full of people who think they're Naploeon. Or God." - James Bond

Why watch this? Connery is a Man-of-Action, just like my best friend, DQ

Plot Summary: James Bond investigates the disappearance of a fellow agent in Jamaica. His investigation leads him to the mysterious Dr. No and his heavily guarded island base. Bond, alongside allies including the beautiful Honey Ryder, must uncover and thwart Dr. No's sinister plans involving the disruption of the American space program.

Dad's Preview: This is the first Bond film to star Sean Connery. It is easily the most realistic Bond because it's so lean. The super spy survives on his intelligence and deft skills, not so much on the fancy gadgetry (which grew more elaborate with each new Bond movie). Connery is cool as a cucumber, and so suave. He is my favorite Bond, hands down.
