On Sundays on encoure avenue2, they have back to back 007 movies. Its a good way to kill a sunday ( no pun intended) when there's nothing else on. Since the 1st 007 movie "Dr No" came out in 1962, there have been a total of 22 bond movies and 6 actors have played the infamous agent. Most recently Daniel Crag has taken over the roll in the last 2 movies "Casino Royale" and the forth coming "Quantum of Solace " arriving in theaters on Halloween. The latest movies budget was over $230 million and the total movie revenue from all 007 movies has exceeded $4.3 billion dollars ( actually its done $4,397,593,106 in box office sales ) and and has production costs of $1 billion ($1,098,000,000). There is however a little bit controversy that follows the james bond 007 name , and that is who is the all time fav bond actor. Some think its Sir Sean Connery, while others think Sir Roger Moore. Me personally, I'm a fan of Sean Connery.
The Bond series also received many versions in popular media. The 1960s TV imitations of James Bond such as " I Spy ,Get-Smart, and " The Man From Uncle" went on to become popular successes. As well are the numerous theme songs like "Live and Let Die" by Sir Paul McCartney, " For Your Eyes Only" by Sheena Easton, and "A View to a kill" by Duran Duran to name a few.
The of course there are the infamous Bond Girls.
