Genre: James Bond

The James Bond films have been so frequent and popular that they have become their own genre. The movies are all based on books by Ian Fleming. In every movie there is the classic James Bond character. It has always been a challenge to cast Bond, but they are all similar. The Bond character always has style, wearing a black and white tux. He has sex appeal, attracting ultra-enticing women, whether they are good or bad. There is that damsel in distress which James Bond has to save. He is a secret agent and kills people with ease. He often has gadgets, drinks tasteful alcohol, and gambles in the casino. People who have played James Bond were Sean Connery, Roger Moore, and Pierce Brosnan. James Bond films have a theme song and opener that audiences can immediately recognize that it is James Bond. There are always action sequences that are underwater using boats, airborne in planes, and on land through use of cars in exotic places.


And of course there is always the evil villain who can't kill Bond no matter how many henchmen he sends. Bond always defeats the villain. Some of the best Bond films are Goldfinger, For Your Eyes Only, From Russia with Love, and Dr. No.
