The 5 most underestimated James Bond films that can be viewed on MGM+

It was once, with far too much time in my hands, I lived in a beach town in a beach town in a beach town. No special mega fan of the franchise, I had seen some of the James Bond films over the years, especially from the time of Pierce Brosnan, but I hadn't seen most.

And so I decided to survive the winter by surviving every 007 film chronologically. It was not that difficult to save the world. It wasn't that easy either, because sometimes I had to wait for the next one to be available.

You can skip this whole song and dance from June 1, when the entire collection of 25 James Bond films produced by Eon is available in the network. Yes, yes, it is another service for which you have to register. Compared to the rest, however, it is not particularly expensive, at $ 7 per month or 59 US dollars a year if you register for an annual plan.

Nothing stops her from subscribing to subscribe for a month or two to enforce the best films and then cancel.

MGM+ adds the entire James Bond collection. Here are 5 that you should see first.

Be that I am highlighted underestimated Films for this more beautiful half of the article, I exclude fantastic entries in the franchise that are already highly praised, such as: Gold finger And Casino Royale (2006).

1. Diamonds are forever

After Sean Connery had thrown the role of James Bond that he had to hate, he was covered in 1971 for a last 007 film, a break in continuity after George Lazenby published a single performance as a Bond in 1969 At the secret service of her majesty.

In this film, most of the franchise is missing, since it is mainly in and around Las Vegas. But Bond works in the glittering dirt of the early 1970s Vegas, and Connery's global hire attitude to Bond, who may be real and not acting, lasts well after more than 50 years. Don't skip this.

2. Donnerball

Here things got really strange with the bond franchise. It was just the fourth film and yes, the previous year Gold finger introduced the murder laser and a man with metal teeth who killed people with a hat, but the core of this film was based on a rather believable story of the theft of the gold government.

Everything is just a little crazier for Thunderbillin which large parts of the film are rotated under water. The scope feels bigger, the set expansive and it doesn't get the love it deserves. It is purely 1965.

3. License for killing

Timothy Dalton only played as a bond in two films, but they are both great (the other is The living daylight). In License for killingBond is suspended by MI6 and goes villain. It is a dark, dirty film that I find a refreshing change from the crazy, often speaking Roger bog films, although Moore has some hidden bangers in his seven films.

More than any other bond actor (at least in front of Daniel Craig) approached Dalton to every scene, as if he were absolutely angry with the world, which always seemed to me for a man whose world of lies, betrayed lies and cooperation with Allies, who can be as bad as the thorns.

4. From Russia with love

Only the second film in the franchise, the follow-up until 1962s Dr. No. In the line -up a unique niche. His story is a bit bigger than Dr. No.But it is without all the word games of devices and bond girls in which MGM started to pepper in 1964 Gold finger.

From Russia with love Feel only a little darker and more serious in the 1960s than any of the follow -up films.

5. Goldeneye

If you are a thousand year old like me, you would probably not count it from 1995 as underestimated. We all grew up that it is quite great and partly helped with the equally sweet Nintendo 64 game. But it doesn't seem to get the awards that it deserves since Daniel Craig was taken over.

You can also get the best of Brosnan's four Bond films. You will also receive Sean Bean as an excellent film. MGM has nailed the mood with it, because although Bond saves the world again, the missions are more personal, with the topics of trust and reveal, the two men are pursuing because they are unable to escape their past.
