-- And SKYFALL is rated just as highly??

Modern Bond fans are daft.

No question CR is an excellent movie. One of the top 5 Bond films, in fact. But no way is it better than GOLDFINGER.

Agreed, it makes no sense. I do love Casino Royale and Skyfall but they come nowhere near the greatness of this film.

Agreed! GOLDFINGER is a *much* better movie than CASINO ROYALE!

I still can't understand why anyone would prefer it to Connery's masterpiece.

Or Craig to Connery, for that matter.

Most people have never seen a movie from before their high school years.

Good point. There just seems to be this assumption that new is good and normal. Anything older is just off the radar, and it's completely unusual to go out of your way to seek out things from before your own generation.
Personally, I can't really stand the popular culture of my generation. I'm always immersing myself in stuff from my grandparents' era.
