Goldfinger should be looked at as the apex of the classical Bond.
Its trully a beautiful work- supremely entertaining, controlled, structured, tastefull, balanced and never straining.

Dr. No, of course would be Goldfinger's ancient classical Greek forbearer, with the Caribean standing in for the bright blue cradle that was the Mediteranian.

You Only Live Twice, is a glorious piece of both Gothic and Baroque excentricity. And although Goldfinger is from a certain perspective the pinacle of Bond movies, You Only Live Twice stands as modern civilization's crowning achievement to date- comparable in my view to the cathedrals of Europe, or The Pieta.
