See the list. Title: From Russia with Love James Bond is on the search for a Russian decoding machine, known as "Lektor". Bond needs to find this machine, before the evil S. While being romantically linked with Russian girl, Tatiana Romanova, Bond sneaks his way around Istanbul, while each S. Agent tries to pick him off, including the over powering Donald "Red" Grant and ex K. Agent Rosa Klebb, who knows all of the tricks in the book, and even possesses an incredible poison tipped shoe. Sean Connery never failed to charm as James Bond. His charm,coupled with the terrific story line that you see From Russia with Love: James Bond 007 in from Russia With Love,makes this film second only to Goldfinger in terms of ranking all of Connery's efforts as Nearly stealing the show is a fresh faced Robert Shaw as a trained assassin with his eyes zeroed in on the agent. Sadly,we also see the final performance of Pedro Armendariz,who committed suicide the year of the film's release upon learning he had terminal cancer. Even if you are not a Bond fan,this is a very well done good versus evil story that is carried out very well. If you are a Bond fan,you probably have all the films in your collection,whether they are good or bad,but if you are someone who only collects films you consider good,you'll want to consider this one.
