My parents named me after the James Bond in this film (Sean Connery), but believe it or not I've never watched any of the Connery James Bonds. In fact, I'd only watched one Daniel Craig (Quantum of Solace) but wasn't a fan. Dr No was so much better than that one IMO.
Lots of action as you would expect from any spy franchise, but with the wit and charm of Sean Connery's Bond (I loved his quick-witted response to the question about where the people who were chasing him were going: 'To their own funeral') and a surprisingly strong female character in Honey Ryder (given when this was made I thought the Bond girl would be quite weak, but she actually seemed quite strong-willed to me, despite the male characters treating her as a vulnerable lady).
And that iconic theme with those iconic titles are brilliant.
