My favorite spy movie is and always will be Goldfinger.

I was about 14 years of age when the movie came out. While I was returning from swimming practice several friends (who were older) convinced me to go see Goldfinger. I was in awe as the opening credits rolled. I went to the Hershey Theater in Hershey PA and can still see the movie in my mind as I sat in the seat wide eyed. As a 14 year old male this movie was engrossing and sexy.

The movie starred Sean Connery as James Bond and Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore. The two were dynamite together. The director was Guy Hamilton.

The plot was as follows: Investigating a gold magnate’s gold smuggling, James Bond uncovers a plot to contaminate the Fort Knox gold reserve. I loved the revolving license plate which was used after Bond started getting too many tickets! That would be something to have today as I drive on Interstate 95.

I love Goldfinger because it brings back my youth when there was an innocence to life. The movie was full of energy and Bond was so suave. Pussy Galore was every young boy’s dream girl for sure. I could imagine myself in her arms and being James Bond escaping from all the snares and trials that were placed upon him.

Get Goldfinger HERE!

Little did my father know that when he asked me if I would be interested in watching this James Bond film known as Goldfinger, that he had launched me into permanent fandon for the spy genre. Since I was fourteen, I have been a massive fan of all things spy related, from the Saint to the Bourne series.

When I look back on everything, though, I have to say that Goldfinger still is dear to my heart. Sean Connery was and still is James Bond and every man wants to be James Bond.
