For me, it's "From Russia With Love". I base that on the fact that it is the most believable Bond movie. By that I mean that the events depicted could actually happen!

Look, "Dr.No" takes place in a city-sized underwater laboratory run by an insane Chinese doctor with resources as large as major goverments. In "Goldfinger" we again have an insane industrialist who plans to nuke Ft.Knox to corner the gold market. I ask you: Is this, at all, believable?

In "From Russia With Love" we have a scenario in which a government agent breaks into an embassy to steal a typewriter-sized gadget. I propose that this is alot more real than any other Bond film before or since.

Besides, the film is thankfully lacking in stupid James Bond gadgets. The "loaded" attache is as far-out as it gets. And then we have Daniella Bianchi, the most underated Bond girl ever!

Anyone agree this me?
