What is the best secret agent movie of all time? Well, Bond is clearly the best secret agent - stylish, smooth, and dangerous. His license to kill pairs with his license to thrill, and to me, Bond surpasses Bourne and 24‘s Jack Bauer. While Bourne is as deadly as can be, he lacks the British suavity of the classic Connery. Similarly at fault, Bauer needs to improve his work-life balance - and he’s not a movie star (but he may be in the future).
Bond is the best in espionage, but which film is the best? I’m going to avoid the debate on “the best Bond” and state up front that Connery is my pick, and furthermore, Goldfinger is the best Bond flick. Goldfinger presents the best villain (Auric Goldfinger), the best henchman (Oddjob), the best Bond girl (Pussy Galore), and for me is likely the best secret agent flick of all time. Check out the Aston Martin with the ejector seat. Oh yeah, the song is awesome too!
