Dr. No Amazon.com essential video Released in 1962, this first James Bond movie remains one of the best, and serves as an entertaining reminder that the Bond series began (in keeping with Ian Fleming's novels) with a surprising lack of gadgetry and big-budget fireworks. Sean Connery was just 32 years old when he won the role of Agent 007. In his first adventure James Bond is called to Jamaica where a colleague and secretary have been mysteriously killed. With an American CIA agent (Jack Lord, pre-Hawaii Five-O), they discover that the nefarious Dr. No (Joseph Wiseman) is scheming to blackmail the U.S. government with a device capable of deflecting and destroying U.S. rockets launched from Cape Canaveral. Of course, Bond takes time off from his exploits to enjoy the company of a few gorgeous women, including the bikini-clad Ursula Andress. She gloriously kicks off the long-standing tradition of Bond women who know how to please their favorite secret agent. A sexist anachronism? Maybe, but this is Bond at his purest, kicking off a series of movies that shows no sign of slowing down. --Jeff Shannon

Die Another Day Amazon.com The 20th James Bond adventure, Die Another Day succeeds on three important fronts: it avoids comparison to Austin Powers by keeping its cheesy humor in check, allows Halle Berry to be sexy and worthy of a spinoff franchise, and keeps pace with the technical wizardry that modern action films demand. Pierce Brosnan's got style and staying power as James Bond, now bearing little resemblance to Ian Fleming's original British super-spy, but able to hold his own at the box office. He's paired with American agent Jinx (Berry) in chasing a genetically altered North Korean villain (Rick Yune) armed with a satellite capable of destroying just about anything. John Cleese and Judi Dench reprise their recurring roles (as 'Q' and 'M,' respectively); they're accompanied by weapons-laden sports cars, a hokey cameo by Madonna (who sings the techno-pulsed theme song), and enough double-entendres to keep Bond-philes adequately shaken and stirred. With clever nods to 007's cinematic legacy, Die Another Day makes you welcome the familiar end-credits promise: James Bond will return. --Jeff Shannon
Product Description When his top-secret mission is sabotaged, James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) finds himself captured by theenemy, abandoned by MI6 and stripped of his 00-license. Determined to get revenge, Bond goes head-to-head with a sultry spy (OscarÂ(r) winner* Halle Berry), a frosty agent (Rosamund Pike) anda shadowy billionaire (Toby Stephens) whose business is diamonds but whose secret is a diabolical weapon that could bring the world to its knees! Bristling with excitement and bursting with explosivespecial effects, Die Another Day is an adrenaline-pumping thrill-ride with 'stunts and non-stop action [that] will astonish you' (Jeffrey Lyons, WNBC-TV)! *2001: Actress, Monster'sBall
Live and Let Die Amazon.com Roger Moore was introduced as James Bond in this 1973 action movie featuring secret agent 007. More self-consciously suave and formal than predecessor Sean Connery, he immediately reestablished Bond as an uncomplicated and wooden fellow for the feel-good '70s. This film also marks a deviation from the more character-driven stories of the Connery years, a deliberate shift to plastic action (multiple chases, bravura stunts) that made the franchise more of a comic book or machine. If that's not depressing enough, there's even a good British director on board, Guy Hamilton (Force 10 from Navarone). The story finds Bond taking on an international drug dealer (Yaphet Kotto), and while that may be superficially relevant, it isn't exactly the same as fighting supervillains on the order of Goldfinger. --Tom Keogh

For Your Eyes Only Amazon.com After a ship sunk off the coast of Albania, the world's superpowers begin a feverish search for its valuable lost cargo: the powerful ATAC system, which will give its bearer unlimited control over Polaris nuclear submarines. As Bond joins the search, he suspects the suave Kristatos (Julian Glover) of seizing the device. The competition between nations grows more deadly by the moment, but Bond finds an ally in the beautiful Melina Havelock (Caroline Bouquet), who blames Kristatos for the death of her parents. The non-stop action includes automobile chases, thrilling underwater battles, and even a breathtaking tour over razor-sharp coral reefs. But all of this is merely a prelude to 007's cliffhanging assault of a magnificent mountaintop fortress. -- Robert Lynch
Product Description James Bond is thrust into one of his most riveting adventures in this jam-packed free-for-all of outrageous stunts, passionate encounters and exciting confrontations. Roger Moore portrays Agent 007 with lethal determination in a plot that finds him racing
From Russia With Love Amazon.com essential video 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
Product Description James Bond 007 is sent on a mission to Istanbul to try and acquire a Russian cypher machine known as Lektor from a defecting Russian agent. However the Russians have no knowledge of this as it is a S.P.E.C.T.R.E. ploy to lure James Bond into a trap - a fitting tribute to their now- dead agent Dr. No.Run Time: 111 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: PG UPC: 027616066176 Manufacturer No: M106619
Thunderball Amazon.com James Bond's fourth adventure takes him to the Bahamas, where a NATO warplane with a nuclear payload has disappeared into the sea. Bond (Sean Connery) travels from a tiny health spa (where he tangles with a mechanized masseuse run amuck) to the casinos of Nassau and soon picks up the trail of SPECTRE's number-two man, Emilio Largo (Adolfo Celi), and his beautiful mistress, Domino (Claudine Auger), whom Bond soon seduces to his side. Equipped with more gadgets than ever, courtesy of the resourceful 'Q' (Desmond Llewelyn), agent 007 escapes an ambush with a personal-size jet pack and takes to the water as he searches for the undersea plane, battles Largo's pet sharks, and finally leads the battle against Largo's scuba-equipped henchmen in a spectacular underwater climax. This thrilling Bond entry became Connery's most successful outing in the series and was remade in 1983 as Never Say Never Again, with Connery returning to the role after a 12-year hiatus. Tom Jones belts out the bold theme song to another classic Maurice Binder title sequence. --Sean Axmaker
Product Description The thrills never let up as James Bond dives into this riveting adventure filled with explosive confrontations and amazing underwater action sequences! Sean Connery brings his characteristic style, humor and magnetism to Agent 007 as he travels to Nassau

Rating: - Firmware update needed for Panasonic DMP-BD10A
I recently rurchased this James Bond Box Set package. When I received it I was disappointed when instead of watching Bond's adventures on the screen - all I received was a message " now reading ". I then tried the box set on my playstation 3 ... and it worked !! Sony keeps the PS3 updated with Blue-ray changes so this is a good test. After contacting Panasonic ( which were friendly & helpful ) I found out that the Panasonic DMP-BD10A required an upgrade to the player firmware. my set had Version 2.4 - I upgraded to Ver 2.5 ( fairly complicated to upgrade ) - Now everything is fine & I'm really enjoying this box set !!
Rating: - Almost perfect!!!
I'm an audiophile and videophile and my review is based on watching this collection on an ISF calibrated Pioneer Kuro. I'm not old enough to have seen many of these in the theater but this collection sure does give you the feeling that this is what it might have been like to see them when they were new. The video quality is impressive on all, with Live and Let Die being the worst in the set and Die Another Day the best. The color on the older films is ever so slightly over done (a bit too much red) but again this reminds me of what it might have been like to see these in a theater in the 1960s.
The only disappointment is the soundtrack on ALL of them (compressed DTS as I can't currently decode uncompressed). The sound quality is excellent (again Live and Let Die the worst). My issue with the soundtrack is the fault of whomever remastered the audio. The effects are unbelievably loud (on a properly calibrated home theater) and the voices are quiet. You cannot solve the issue by turning up the center channel since much of the effect sounds are also present in the center channel information. I noticed the same sound issues when watching the HD broadcast of Die Another Day on SpikeTV today.
Gripes aside. I love this collection and hope the rest of the Bond films are released on Blu-Ray in the near future.

I have two blue ray players.
I have had problems getting these to work on my Sony BDP-s1 player even though I've updated the firmware four times.
On the other hand, they play just fine and look great on Sony's latest and greatest BDP-S5000 player. So, far the BDP-s5000 has played everything I've put into it.
Rating: - CURIOSITY ALSO COST MONEY.NOT WORTH THE CHANGE
About 1 year ago, I bought the Ultimate bond collection on DVD & they looked great, 5 stars!!!
So when the BD came out, I bought them, thinking how much better will they look?
When I put that BD disc of DR.NO in my PS3, witch they all work fine BTW,& the menu came on that screen my face dropped of dissapointment.It was the same menu as the regular DVD's the only difference is that the special features are on the same disc,The video quality was the same as the regular DVD's.
I was thinking those cheap S.O.B at MGM OR FOX !!!
I'm sure all they did was a transfer from DVD to BD, just like the old days LASERDISCS TO DVD, sound familiar guys? The reviews from all those websites were great, but I guess they never compared them to the DVD's.
I also have some issues with the boxes but whatever.
Don't get me wrong they do look great, and if you never had the DVD's, sure go for the BD,but it will cost you,a lot more.

Just received the discs yesterday finished watching volume 1 image is incredible at least 10 times sharper than the ultimate set that was released in 2006. Dr No is 46 years old (!) and it looks as if it was released today. Now I gave it 4 stars because of the load time issue that many people is experiencing is due to the BD-J coding that is in these discs check out [...] for a full explanation of what J-coding is. The load time issues are correctable just keep writing to the studios & manufacturers to remedy the problem.
