The best Bond film, period. The plot is terrific, the execution of the story is superb, the romanticism is coupled with right amount of grit, and the villain ensemble is perfect.
Indeed, without this masterpiece, setting the bar so high, doubt the franchise would have lasted as long. Seems unfair that we hear so much about DR. NO, without acknowledging that this is the film that truly made Bond an international phenomenal blockbuster. The music was part of that too as well.
Goldfinger might be the quintessential Bond film, but From Russia With Love is the most quintessential spy film ever. It's terrific from beginning to end.
Sean Connery will always be our #1 Bond (From Russia With Love / Goldfinger / Thunderball our favorites)! Our #2 James Bond is Roger Moore & #3 Pierce Brosnan (I worked with Pierce for years on a TV show in Hollywood) REMINGTON STEELE! Pierce was not accepted as James Bond on his first try > being cast as Bond came later with 'age & maturity'!
The "climax" for me in that film is the fight scene between Bond and Grant in the Orient Express, probably one of the best fight scenes in cinema history. Brutal, realistic, and ages well to this day.
@@losrajvosa0078but it is still realistic and brutal. You forgot about the fact that Grant and Bond are efficient killers. They are not flashy martial artists who tend to focus on techniques. They are in for a kill. It is just a matter of who is tired or not.
Before he became famous as Quint in Jaws, Robert Shaw had an impressive run of playing villains. He was perfect for his roles in Battle of the Bulge, The Sting, and the original Taking of Pelham One Two Three
One of my top five favourite Bond films. Connery has never been better, the plot is brilliant, and the pacing is fast and interesting. The set pieces in the gypsy camp and the one on the Orient Express are superb. Also Kerim Bay (played by the great Pedro Armendariz) is, along with Mathis. possibly the best Bond ally in the series to date.
I was a young teenager when these films premiered and made it a point to see them all and read all the Ian Fleming novels. From Russia with Love is my favorite Bond film and Fleming novel.
@@BarryWardUK While I really adore Goldeneye I don't think that fight is anywhere near as amazingly brutal as this one and Spectre was just a thinly veiled knock off of this one.
This bond movie is my favorite. No over the top gadgets, interesting and exotic characters, the classic 007 charm, and a bad guy that I would say rivals Bond better than any villain seen elsewhere in the franchise.
I’m going with Goldfinger as my favorite James Bond’s movie followed by From Russia With Love, Dr. No, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Thunderball and You Only Live Twice Goldfinger for me is perfection tho
You overlook completely the great cinematography on-location shots capturing early 60s Istanbul - filming inside the real historically famed Orient Express Sirkeci Station, Grand Bazaar, the ancient Hague Sophia & Basilica Cistern, and the Bosporus cruise scene with the Dolmabahçe Palace and Maiden Castle landmarks in the scene. Visually, this film is an absolute gem of the Connery Bond movies.
There is something missing in every critique of the Connery Bond films, and that's a broader view from Britain at the time. Even as late as 1970, traveling to another country was beyond the reach of most people. Much of life, even in the countryside, seemed to be in monochrome, like the TV's we watched way into the 1970s. The Bond films weren't the fights, the action and adventure of the situations, but they took us to exotic foreign locations with beautiful people, and had stunning cinematography. For us, the adventure was to vicariously go to these places, as if it were a commonplace thing to do... "Bond, go to Istanbul." 'Ah yesh, there'sh a little reshtaurant I wouldn't mind going back to...' The nightclubs, the girls, the sophistication..! It was heady stuff besides what modern audiences see. The nearest I can describe it is like in Blade Runner, the adverts on the blimps to Go Offworld hint at the yearning for something new and better and different in the masses of the movie's world. Enjoyable video, though: but remember... These movies, up to The Man With The Golden Gun gave many their first glimpse of a world beyond grey old Britain... The action, girls and gadgets were just the icing on the cake. And THAT wide-eyed wonder at the World is what's been missing for years. That is the difference. That feeling is in the fabric of those earlier films. See them through those lenses, and you get a different, deeper insight, I suggest.
Jpof Gwynedd .... agree! ... I was born in 1950, so when these movies came out my parents & their friends were all a buzz about them ... and I thought it was one was supposed to aspire to ... as I fantasized being a female bond ... (and later a female Deckard) ... being sophisticated for me was someone who could handle any situation with class ... but now I see that this class was to only belong to the cabal illuminati
Dude. You should do a video yourself from POV of Brits. As a fellow Brit I'd like that. You seem to have an insightful way of analysing this film at least. I watch a lot of movie channels and reviews and your insight was different, refreshing and interesting.
Even after nearly 60 years, From Russia with Love is STILL the best James Bond movie and the first movie I reached for after hearing the sad news of Sir Sean Connery’s passing.
I like this film because to me, it's the most"realistic" Bond film. The scenario is one which might have actually happened, lol! The Cold War paranoia of trying to pit the two super powers against each other, Bond's low/ no tech approach to solving the mystery and getting the decoder, and Bond himself being played by SPECTRE. Let's not even mention that brutal fight on the train with Robert Shaw! One of the best, most visceral, hand to hand fight sequences ever filmed, imo. They really looked like they were trying to kill each other. This is the film where Bond shows that he's more than just his gadgets and cars. He's just cool, lol.
From Russia With Love is a great cold war film. One of my favourite films and in my opinion this is Sean Connery's best performance as James Bond. 10/10
This Bond entry focused a bit more on the story, something that would be missing from most other entries during the Connery Era, and was all the better for it.
It depends on the day, but From Russia With Love and Goldfinger are my favorite Bond movies. Both are great for complety different reasons and both are successful.
Today, the stereotype is to have a woman acting more like a man. I'll take the original stereotypes any day of the week over the crap they give us today.
Well said. Well said, indeed. FROM RUSSIA, WITH LOVE is one of my top favorite Bond 007 movies. Hell, any of Sean Connery's Bond movies is up there on my list. Can't wait for the next installment in the series.
My favourite Bond film for many decades and still in my Top 3. I'm enjoying your survey and look forward to the next instalment. Keep up the good work!
Half way through video and I'm tired of the errors. Spectre don't attack the gypsy camp, it's the Bulgars who work for the Russians, and Kerim doesn't assassinate a traitor, he kills Krilenco the leader of the Bulgar's who raid the gypsy camp.
My most favourite Bond flick of them all🙂! Thanks for a wonderful short video that captured the best of the moments, and of course, your comments alongside 🙏
This is my favorite Bond film because it feels the most real. There are not a bunch of 1 in a million saves. He does win the train fight, but it comes across as realistic and only just winning because his adversary makes a mistake. Perhaps the only part of the film that seems a little cutesy are the couple of one liners, but they aren't over done.
I disagree. I think it's the story for From Russia With Love that makes it seem inferior. It's not an epic exactly and yet, it is. Goldfinger is probably the best 3rd movie in a franchise ever made and that's quite an accomplishment.
Perfect Bond movie, the best of the entire series. Not a cartoonish, it´s a great thriller starred by a great cast and the perfect Bond, Sean Connery and the cast and the characters are fantastic. It´s is in my opinion the only Bond movie that the audience feels that he is in danger. Not centered on stupid gadgets bot in Bond himself.
There is nothing "problematic" with this film. It is one of the best 007 films and the "gypsy" scene is nothing too controversial. This is fiction, this is fantasy.
Honestly, I wish this guy would stop harping on about "Not being PC".A movie or piece of media from the sixties not reflecting our sensitivity? WHAT A SHOCK!
Bond was able to get himself a very good place to hide on that hillside, that outcrop of rock was perfect from which to finish assembly of his rifle and return fire.
Still my favorite Bond movie. Very much a British film (like Dr. No, which was more "spy vs. spy" in style) Goldfinger Americanized the series, and because of its success, served as the turning point for the franchise.
Arguably the BEST Bond film ever... followed closely by Goldfinger of course. This is the Bond film Alfred Hitchcock would've made. Whenever you hear about great movie sequels, hardly anyone ever mentions From Russia With Love. But it really is one of the top 10 best sequels.
My favorite Bond film. It is much more low key than other entries. It's the only Bond film that is a real spy film, with cold war staples such as code machines, defectors, and trying to escape the Soviets. One thing I liked about Bond films was that they never did the obvious USSR is the enemy. Instead, the enemy is SPECTRE, who often pose as Soviet agents, as they do here, but are not. Tatiana thinks she is working for SMERSH, which is a real Soviet agency, but she's being played by SPECTRE to get to Bond. I also really like how Grant saves Bond's life in the gypsy battle. It's not SPECTRE attacking here, it's the Soviets - which is why Grant saves Bond because he doesn't want the Soviets to get him. This is why Kerim assassinates the Soviet agent, to get revenge for the gypsy camp attack. Imagine being Pedro Armendariz, dying of cancer, but determined to finish the movie. That is work ethic. Everyone in this film is perfect.
Bond's imitation of Noel Coward whilst flirting with Miss Moneypenny. Brilliant. They should remake From Russia With Love, just film the novel as movie didn't do full justice to the book which is absolutely great. Old fashioned movie but good.
Never understood the Goldfinger praise. To my mind, it set the franchise tone for with all the wrong things with goofy gadgets (Bond and the famed DB5 Aston are defeated by...an apparently psychically placed mirror), dumb villians (slow motion laser on a table...why? Overcooked roast beef?) and wildly silly physics (A 2.5 ton Lincoln miraculously loses all its weight when squished into a cube and put in the bed of a Falcon mini-pickup) .
@@devonmask5192 Goldfinger is so ridiculous, I cannot believe some people prefer it. A bunch of beautiful female pilots spray nerve gas over Fort Knox to kill it's inhabitants (made even more ridiculous by the fact that they all fell over and pretended to be dead) and then Goldfinger detonates a nuke to irradiate the gold. FRWL felt like a proper spy movie. Stealing a top secret device from the enemy, in a foreign country and then escaping cross continent with danger and double crossing not far behind.
Ahhhh... I Love this series!!!! Yes 'From Russia with Love' is a great Bond Movie, I do like it very much! So just for Fun I'll start a List from all the Bond-Movies, with one I like best so far! 1. From Russia with Love 2. Dr. No ...to be continued ;-)
The fight scene in the train is one if the most brutal hand to hand fights ever filmed. The helicopter scenes are classic bond as well as the boat chase
As a viewer, I do not give much importance to commercial success. To me, From Russia With Love is the best Bond film in the 1960s. It gives more importance to the story, the characters and the emotions and uses glamour only to add spice. I felt in Goldfinger, it was the opposite as glamour and tech dominated over the story.
Who did the script on this? There are sooo many mistakes! It's not SPECTRE that attacks the gypsy camp. Krilenko is not a "traitor" etc... In fact through this whole Bond revisited series there are constant little mistakes like this that let the series down. Otherwise its a good series.
The best Bond film, and like Thunderball, not overloaded with gimmicks. This is the kind of Bond film I wish Brosnan got to play, straightforward and nicely paced.
I can't believe at one point in my life I had the audacity to think From Russia With Love is the worst James Bond film of all time? Yeah I'm an idiot. Now I give From Russia With Love a 7 out of 10.
I remember watching this movie with my buddies when we were like 15 or 16 and my parents walked past the room and said ‘you do realise that the blonde dude is Quint from Jaws? That blew my freaking mind
This is the prototypical classic Bond spy-thriller. Goldfinger for me is a tad overrated although I understand why it's generally considered the best or the template for all other Bond movies to follow.
I also did the same recently and I honestly had a hard time to get through the Moore films. Some are just to campy for me and I just couldn't get over his age. I kept thinking that's like my grandfather playing bond. I love from Russia with love, one of my favorites in the series. Dalton most underrated bond
@@oliverrichetti3736 You know, I will agree with you about Dalton... I felt that he was a better Bond than Moore. But I feel that Connery is the perfect Bond in regards to how the Bond character was written in the books. But Daniel Craig is my favorite Bond... that dude can act. His range of emotions with the character far surpasses that of Connery and all other Bonds combined.
@@dredwick yes agreed. Craig took it to the next level but I have to admit also that Dr. No is a guilty pleasure for me . I just love the introduction to James bond and that it set in Jamaica. The music from that movie is Kool too
My favourite James Bond film: "Dr. No" My favourite Bond actor: Sean Connery Connery's first four are all classics, the first two are the best in the entire series. But Timothy Dalton is a close second favourite actor, as I love both of his films. "Licence to Kill" I regard as one of the best Bonds.
@6:36- while the number of crew mishaps on the Bond film You Only Live Twice (1967) is legend - e.g., cameraman John Jordan's foot was so badly injured by a helicopter blade that he later had to have it amputated - in From Russia with Love, Walter Gotell's eyebrows were badly singed by the special effects flame thrower.
Cinderella: From Fabletown with Love was an American comic book limited series published by Vertigo Comics in 2009 and 2010, and set in the world of Fables. The story portrays Cinderella as a secret agent, performing missions on behalf of Fabletown. Its title is an allusion to the James Bond novel From Russia, with Love.
My god man. You failed to mention the best one liner that ever came out of a Bond film. Even the writers of all the Bruce Willis films ("yippy eye oh chiaye")could only dream of a line like this: "Red wine with fish. Now THAT should have told me SOMETHING." ruclips.net/video/g8S3WduxpZ0/видео.html
The best Bond film, period. The plot is terrific, the execution of the story is superb, the romanticism is coupled with right amount of grit, and the villain ensemble is perfect.
Indeed, without this masterpiece, setting the bar so high, doubt the franchise would have lasted as long. Seems unfair that we hear so much about DR. NO, without acknowledging that this is the film that truly made Bond an international phenomenal blockbuster. The music was part of that too as well.

One of the best action movies of all time, and essential to the James Bond franchise. Red Grant is quite possibly the perfect Bond villain.

The train fight is STILL the most brutal close quarters fight I’ve ever seen.
Like everything about the movie that fight is just perfect.
It’s great. But I can think of two other Bond fights that come close at least - Goldeneye climactic fight, and Spectre train fight.
It makes the fight in Spectre make more sense

Ahhhh... I Love this series!!!! Yes 'From Russia with Love' is a great Bond Movie, I do like it very much!
So just for Fun I'll start a List from all the Bond-Movies, with one I like best so far!
1. From Russia with Love
2. Dr. No
...to be continued ;-)
The timing of this series is uncanny.
The fight scene in the train is one if the most brutal hand to hand fights ever filmed. The helicopter scenes are classic bond as well as the boat chase
As a viewer, I do not give much importance to commercial success. To me, From Russia With Love is the best Bond film in the 1960s. It gives more importance to the story, the characters and the emotions and uses glamour only to add spice. I felt in Goldfinger, it was the opposite as glamour and tech dominated over the story.
Between the two films I prefer
Dr. NO. Maybe because of the location, the originality, or just nostalgia. It's one of my favourite films.
From Russia With Love is my favorite Bond film as well as the book. It's a real spy story.
This film was the last for
Pedro Armendáriz (1912-1963) as Ali Kerim Bay
and
Eunice Gayson (1928-2018) as Sylvia Trench
Who did the script on this? There are sooo many mistakes! It's not SPECTRE that attacks the gypsy camp. Krilenko is not a "traitor" etc... In fact through this whole Bond revisited series there are constant little mistakes like this that let the series down. Otherwise its a good series.
FRWL is the _Empire Strikes Back_ of the series.
Like Wrath of Khan in start trek
My feeling exactly. This is one of the best sequels ever made and yet, it's hardly ever recognized on any list
I wasn't a huge fan of the 60's and 70's Bond films but this was was probably my favorite Connery one.
And I will return to watch the video on Godlfinger... Thanx, Chris!!!
The genius behind many of the Bond opening titles was Maurice Binder....that's BIN..Der...not Bind..er.
The best Bond film, and like Thunderball, not overloaded with gimmicks. This is the kind of Bond film I wish Brosnan got to play, straightforward and nicely paced.
I can't believe at one point in my life I had the audacity to think From Russia With Love is the worst James Bond film of all time? Yeah I'm an idiot.
Now I give From Russia With Love a 7 out of 10.
One of the very best 007 movies, also probably the most realistic.
I remember watching this movie with my buddies when we were like 15 or 16 and my parents walked past the room and said ‘you do realise that the blonde dude is Quint from Jaws? That blew my freaking mind
The villain, Red Grant looks like Daniel Craig. The irony.
Correction: The Bond Theme was introduced in Dr. No. It WAS the theme intro for that movie.
I have all the film collection of James bond 007.but I loved the sixties bond films
My favourite Bond film, partly due to the fight and gypsy camp scenes alone.
My favourite Bond Girl
Rosa Kleb
Nice video old man. Aside from the ending I really love this film.
I Loved From Russia With Love!!
its the best pure spy film in the series
My fav Bond Film👍👍👍👍
Loved your rendition of the 007 theme 😆😆
This is the prototypical classic Bond spy-thriller. Goldfinger for me is a tad overrated although I understand why it's generally considered the best or the template for all other Bond movies to follow.
this is my second favourite bond movie after goldfinger
Keep coming with all these movies bro
I love how you sang the 007 theme
Yep, I played the PS2 game before the movie, so when I watched it I was expecting the Rocketeer scene XD
My favorite Bond. Casino Royale next.
I just recently watched all the Bond films so I'm definitely digging this series. Thanks!
You're very welcome! We're re-visiting the entire franchise.
I also did the same recently and I honestly had a hard time to get through the Moore films. Some are just to campy for me and I just couldn't get over his age. I kept thinking that's like my grandfather playing bond. I love from Russia with love, one of my favorites in the series. Dalton most underrated bond
@@oliverrichetti3736 You know, I will agree with you about Dalton... I felt that he was a better Bond than Moore. But I feel that Connery is the perfect Bond in regards to how the Bond character was written in the books. But Daniel Craig is my favorite Bond... that dude can act. His range of emotions with the character far surpasses that of Connery and all other Bonds combined.
@@dredwick yes agreed. Craig took it to the next level but I have to admit also that Dr. No is a guilty pleasure for me . I just love the introduction to James bond and that it set in Jamaica. The music from that movie is Kool too
My favourite James Bond film: "Dr. No"
My favourite Bond actor: Sean Connery
Connery's first four are all classics, the first two are the best in the entire series. But Timothy Dalton is a close second favourite actor, as I love both of his films. "Licence to Kill" I regard as one of the best Bonds.
@6:36- while the number of crew mishaps on the Bond film You Only Live Twice (1967) is legend - e.g., cameraman John Jordan's foot was so badly injured by a helicopter blade that he later had to have it amputated - in From Russia with Love, Walter Gotell's eyebrows were badly singed by the special effects flame thrower.
This is my fav Bond movie
Cinderella: From Fabletown with Love was an American comic book limited series published by Vertigo Comics in 2009 and 2010, and set in the world of Fables. The story portrays Cinderella as a secret agent, performing missions on behalf of Fabletown. Its title is an allusion to the James Bond novel From Russia, with Love.
My god man. You failed to mention the best one liner that ever came out of a Bond film. Even the writers of all the Bruce Willis films ("yippy eye oh chiaye")could only dream of a line like this:
"Red wine with fish. Now THAT should have told me SOMETHING."

Excellent overview! But in its defense, Dr. No is very good, a film that set up an amazing canon when you give it a look.
