1.James Bond - Goldfinger (Ultimate Edition 2 Disc Set) [1964] starring: Sean Connery, Gert Frobe, Honor Blackman, Shirley Eaton, Harold Sakata directed by: Guy Hamilton July 17, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.29
Appropriately enough the first of the series to have a really imaginative use of colour, Goldfinger is in many ways the most visually sensual of the films, the unforgettable image of Shirley Eaton's golden girl reflected in a golden glow to much of Ted Moore's cinematography. It's oozing with striking and surreal imagery, from Oddjob's menacing shadow on the hotel room wall, to the little old lady with machine gun or Bond making his entry by unzipping his wetsuit to reveal an evening one underneath. Ken Adam's production design is his possibly his finest hour, genuine architecture of the imagination that is at once both fantastic and strangely credible, maintaining a sense of scale and verisimilitude by his use of ceilings on the smaller sets. ...

3.James Bond Ultimate Golden Triple Pack - Goldfinger/The Man With The Golden Gun/Goldeneye starring: Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, Sean Bean, Famke Janssen, Robbie Coltrane directed by: Guy Hamilton, Martin Campbell November 27, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £19.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £13.98 You Save: £6.01 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.90
I have to say, I agree. I always said to my friends, "How come the three best Bond movies all have Gold in." My friend said "Gold means good!" The best Bond films are in this pack. Sean Connery confronts a deadly enemy in Goldfinger, who turns everything into gold - Auric Goldfinger. In The Man With The Golden Gun, Christopher Lee stars as Francisco Scaramanga, an assassin who plans to use solar energy for destructive purposes, and GoldenEye. GoldenEye stars Pierce Brosnan as 007 James Bond.

4.What A Carve Up [1961] starring: Sid James, Kenneth Connor, Donald Pleasence, Shirley Eaton, Dennis Price directed by: Pat Jackson August 11, 2008

This is a pretty good film in some ways but in others it's confusing. The back of the box tells you that Uncle Gabriel has died and for Ernie to inherit he must spend the night in the family home. But this is all wrong, at the reading of the will Ernie gets nothing and he must stay in the family home as it's in the middle of nowhere and there's no trains or transport home till the morning. Then the Murders start. It's a bit like a dry run for an early Carry On Film, as it starts serious, very much like an Agatha Christe thriller, but then Kenneth Conner over acts (as usual) in it. Sid James just plays his usual self (here called 'Honest Sid') and Shirley Eaton just wanders about, I won't mention how bad Dennis Price is. The underated ... Read More:

5.Comedy Classics - The Love Match [1955] starring: Jill Adams, Arthur Askey, Dorothy Blythe, Shirley Eaton, William Franklyn directed by: David Paltenghi April 02, 2007

This is one of the best comedy films that I remember from my youth. It has a very funny story line and some great characters, all well played. Some of the scenes could be classic comedy sketches on their own. Apart from one scene from Bolton's ground at the end, the football is (I understand) from a match between Charlton Athletic and Cardiff City and for fans of the Addicks provides the best footage of the dear old Valley that there is. It is worth getting just for that!

6.Carry On Nurse [1958] starring: Shirley Eaton, Kenneth Connor, Charles Hawtrey, Hattie Jacques, Terence Longdon directed by: Gerald Thomas January 29, 2007

The next time you're in your hospital bed and two nurses walk in with a long-stemmed daffodil, do not under any circumstance roll over on your stomach. Carry On Nurse was the second in the Carry On stream of British comedies that began with Carry On Sergeant and lasted for nearly 20 years. You'll either love 'em or you'll hate 'em. You'll love Carry On Nurse, or at least feel a warm, gentle glow of nostalgia break out over you like a rash, if naughty humor based on bedpans, buxom nurses, buttock massages and bunions make you smile. We're in a hospital ward where the male patients are ruled by Matron and where almost every nurse is a knock-out. Naturally, they innocently cause acute adjustment problems for the men who are away from wives and ... Read More:

7.Bond Remastered - Goldfinger (1-disc) [1964] starring: Sean Connery, Gert Frobe, Honor Blackman, Shirley Eaton, Harold Sakata directed by: Guy Hamilton March 12, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £5.99
You could almost say that this film so perfectly nails what the Bond series was to become about that many of the films that follow can certainly be said to take their themeic inspiration from this one. In fact it's so good that we can ignore the fact that Gert Frobe's performance as Auric Goldfinger had to be dubbed due to his lack of English...ignore the fact that Pussy Galore's character is watered down almost to the point of pointlessness...ignore the fact that Bond spends most of the film under Goldfinger's house arrest (with no real reason for Goldfinger not killing him much sooner)... But what we do have is excitment and a plot that improves on the book's. In the book Goldfinger was to detonate an atomic bomb to break open ... Read More:

8.Sailor Beware! [1956] starring: Peggy Mount, Shirley Eaton, Ronald Lewis, Cyril Smith, Esma Cannon October 20, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £74.90
This is Peggy Mount's film. Nobody else could ever play this part, and I only hope it is never remade because it won't work. She plays the role of a very mouthy, brash housewife who dominates not only her husband, but everybody else. Her comedy timing is excellent, and she never managed to do anything better than this. Made in the days before British comedy became smutty, this film should reign amongst the classics. Thora Hird is also very good as her snooty neighbour, and Esma Cannon is superb as a dotty old lady, but the film belongs to Peggy. I lent this to a friend of mine who wasn't that eager to watch it, and he found it absolutely hilarious. If you enjoy comedy like the Ealing pictures, you will enjoy this

9.Goldfinger starring: Sean Connery, Gert Fröbe, Honor Blackman, Shirley Eaton, Tania Mallet directed by: Guy Hamilton November 03, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £4.89
Gimmicky, disjionted, over reliant on this new gadgetry which was suddenly very appealing to a fast growing consumerist society, it has far less of the essence of James Bond as in the Flemming novels than previous Bond movies. It has things in it that make it memorable, but its biggest fault was to take us down the 'wealthy mad man with a fiendish weapon of mass destruction tucked away in a holed out volcano, with a couple of hundred uniformed henchmen-cum-mercenaries happily working for him' storyline, the kind of stuff which gave Mike Myers so much material with which to ridicule the formula. It is only Pussy Galore that stops me giving this movie the dreaded one star treatment. Really, this was not the path to take our beloved 007 down. You want a proper ... Read More:

10.Carry On Sergeant [1958] starring: Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, William Hartnell, Shirley Eaton, Eric Barker directed by: Gerald Thomas August 27, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.65
When Carry On Sergeant hit cinemas in 1958 nobody could have predicted how long the series was actually going to run. The very first Carry On film saw Peter Rogers as the producer and Gerald Thomas as the director (together they made all 31 Carry on films). A low budget farce, the film doesn't entireley encapsulate the feel of a typical Carry On film though gave mere hints of what was to come over the next 20 odd years. An army based comedy where strict, no-nonsense drill sergeant, William Hartnell (who was not a bit unlike his ferocious character in real life) attempts to train a bunch of eccentric, accident-prone young men into soldiers fit for fighting the war. Of course when you have the likes of Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey and Kenneth Connor amongst the ... Read More:
