Amazon.com essential video
Dry as ice, dripping with deadpan witticisms, only Sean Connery's Bond would dare disparage the Beatles, that other 1964 phenomenon. No one but Connery can believably seduce women so effortlessly, kill with almost as much ease, and then pull another bottle of Dom Perignon '53 out of the fridge. Goldfinger contains many of the most memorable scenes in the Bond series: gorgeous Shirley Eaton (as Jill Masterson) coated in gold paint by evil Auric Goldfinger and deposited in Bond's bed; silent Oddjob, flipping a razor-sharp derby like a Frisbee to sever heads; our hero spread-eagle on a table while a laser beam moves threateningly toward his crotch. Honor Blackman's Pussy Galore is the prototype for the series' rash of man-hating supermodels. And Desmond Llewelyn reprises his role as Q, giving Bond what is still his most impressive car, a snazzy little number that fires off smoke screens, punctures the tires of vehicles on the chase, and boasts a handy ejector seat. Goldfinger's two climaxes, inside Fort Knox and aboard a private plane, have to be seen to be believed. --Raphael Shargel

To own Goldfinger (1964) on digital video disc is to have at your fingertips the proof that Sean Connery is the definitive James Bond. Dry as ice, dripping with deadpan witticisms, only Connery's Bond would dare disparage the Beatles, that other 1964 phenomenon.

 Bond , James Bond , and this is the one movie that made him the Coolest February 9, 2010
Thomas J. Scalise
What man doesn't want to be him. And what woman doesn't want to be with him. He is the COOLEST. I've seen every bond film made, more than once. And this one still remains his best. Who doesn't remember Odd Job , and that deadly derby he wore and tossed. Or Goldfinger, who's named perfectly, for his love of gold. And than you have Shirley Eaton in that Black Bikini. Now that's memorable. But the Car steals the movie. The Aston Martin DB5. With it's Ejector Seat , Bullit proof shield , Machine Guns , Tire Slashers, and revolving license plate. Even today, that is the Best movie car of all time. And Sean Connery , the Best Bond. Now with all these bests, how can this not be the Best Bond Film.
review of Goldfinger January 30, 2010
Edmund W. Peaslee Jr. (PLANO,TX, USA)
Agood James Bond film with Sean Connery as 007. Goldfinger plans to sabotage the gold supply at Fort Knox
An Awesome Bond Movie January 3, 2010
One of my favorite movies of all! The whole movie I was thinking, "How will James get out of this one?". Oddjob was a realy cool villain and I had no clue how Bond could kill him. Overall, an excellent movie as are the other Bond movies. You have got to see this amazing movie.
Pierce Brosnan and I have one thing in common November 16, 2009

Brosnan, star of later Bond film "Goldeneye", told an interviewer that this movie was the first Bond flick he saw as a teenager in Dublin. With me it was the Stoneridge Theater in the Rochester NY suburb of Greece. My brother and I, along with two neighbor friends traveled to this early strip mall movie house in my old Chevy (I was the only one old enough to drive). One thing about Bond flicks that was true even back when this film was released during the mid-1960s was that they were FUN. Even the action stuff where bad guys died were at least partly funny. The viewer was free to crack jokes without getting a dirty look from a fellow viewer. One example was Goldfinger's bodyguard Oddjob, who suffered from a speech impediment (when the burly actor Harold Sakata later played one of Steve's detectives on "Hawaii Five-O", my first reaction was surprise that he could talk). Oddjob's only speech in this film was "Ah. Ah-ah". A later scene showed Bond arriving at Goldfinger's estate and is met out front by Goldfinger with an "ah". He then says "Mr. Bond!", but before he got to Bond's name, my brother whispered a quick wisecrack aside; "He must be the one who taught Oddjob to talk." Later Bond movies hae tried to maintain this fun aspect, with mixed result. This contrasts with most adventure films nowadays, which dazzle, confuse and bury you in mindless videogame-ish action. So if you don't like to blown away by blurred action that would send an epilepsy sufferer into a seizure, or grossed-out by the gory stuff, come on back to good old 007, the franchise that has lasted so long that no one actor could star in them all. I keep coming back, starting with doubling back to the first two the very next week. The old Stoneridge knew their audience, me and the guys attended a double feature of "Dr. No" and "From Russia With Love" that they ran for guys like us.

Not the best, but it was good. I learned Goldfinger was a big fat cheater.
