From Russia with Love

From Russia With Love is the second -- and arguably the best -- James Bond thriller, featuring a tense story that has Agent 007 (Sean Connery) battling Russian spies -- including Lotte Lenya as Rosa Klebb -- and the evil SPECTRE organization, as he searches for a top-secret Russian decoding machine. Though there are many gadgets, the film is the least gimmicky of all the Bond movies, and is powered by several excellent action set pieces, most notably Connery's fight with arch-villain Robert Shaw on a passenger train.
