Goldfinger (1964)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
"Goldfinger" is certainly the highlight of the first phase of James Bond, starring Sean Connery. It is in the film directed by Guy Hamilton that we have the introduction of classic elements of the secret agent, such as the Aston Martin DB5 and one of the most emblematic phrases of the franchise ("A martini. Shaken, not stirred"). The theme song, 'Goldfinger', was recorded in the beautiful voice of Shirley Bassey, also becoming a classic. As iconic as the villain Auric Galore (Gert Fröbe), we have the presence of Honor Blackman (from 'Jason and the Argonauts' and the British series 'The Avengers') as Pussy Galore. As if that were not enough, there is one of the most iconic scenes in movie history: that of Bond girl Jill Masterson (Shirley Eaton) with her body covered in gold - which even gave rise to the urban myth that she had died because of the body paint, something denied even by the 'Mythbusters' series. This is the first 007 movie to win an Oscar (for Sound Effects). A lesson on how to make a spy movie with a megalomaniac villain.

Live and Let Die
With the departure of Sean Connery, Eon Productions (responsible for the franchise) set out in search of a new actor to play James Bond. Someone who had the qualities of the character and stayed away from public rejection. They found Roger Moore, two years older than Connery - and the English actor debuted right in 'Live and Let Die', a movie more remembered for the theme song of the Wings band (by Paul McCartney) than the story itself. It is clearly a portrait of the excesses of the 1970s, as well as taking advantage of the success of blaxploitation (films made by and for blacks) of the time and mixing elements such as voodoo culture. The problems of the script are compensated with a frantic pace, great action scenes and a Roger Moore born to be James Bond.
The Man With the Golden Gun
Second Roger Moore film as James Bond, ninth chapter of the franchise by Eon Productions. It is here that 007 lets himself be defeated by his own caricature, in a script that tries to top all the clichés of the character - despite leaving aside, look at that, the famous spy gadgets. At least, it has a great performance by Christopher Lee as Francisco Scaramanga, The Man with the Golden Gun (one of the most iconic Bond villains, even eclipsing the protagonist). The main theme is sung by Lulu and, despite not being one of the most remembered songs of the franchise, it has its charm in the powerful and slightly hoarse voice of the Scottish singer.
Diamonds Are Forever
After Sean Connery refused to star in 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' (where he was replaced by George Lazenby), Eon Productions paid a small fortune to get the actor back for the seventh installment of the franchise. It was also the 1970s, with the James Bond myth bigger than his own movies - something that 'Diamonds Are Forever' embraces without any shame, as well as embracing humor. There is less focus on action, too. The biggest highlight is the opening theme, 'Diamonds Are Forever', a radio hit of the decade sung by Shirley Bassey.
Action
Furies
An exclusive Vietnamese action and revenge thriller on Netflix that thematically will remind you of "Promising Young Woman", but in action and style it is more reminiscent of "John Wick" and "Kill Bill". Although it is not as refined (or interesting) as its references, "Furies" will leave genre fans satisfied. The plot is somewhat scant: three furious and violent female vigilantes join forces to take down a sinister mafia that has made them victims. There is more substance in the action sequences than in its premise, but if you're looking for something visually impactful and entertaining, you'll like it.
Demon Slayer: To the Swordsmith Village
After his family is viciously murdered, a kind-hearted boy named Tanjiro Kamado resolves to become a Demon Slayer in hopes of turning his younger sister Nezuko back into a human. Together with his comrades, Zenitsu and Inosuke, along with one of the top-ranking members of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tengen Uzui, Tanjiro embarks on a mission within the Entertainment District, where they encounter the formidable, high-ranking demons, Daki and Gyutaro.
