5.0 out of 5 stars Deluxe Edition James Bond 007 Gift Set Vol. 1, May 3, 2004

This review is from: James Bond 007 Gift Set Vol. 1 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is the first in a set of original Bond films released in their correct release-date order. The set includes Sean Connery as James Bond in his 6 Albert R. Broccoli produced movies. Also included is the 1995 2 hour documentary BEHIND THE SCENES WITH GOLDFINGER AND THUNDERBALL, for a total of 7 videos. The movies in the set are typically in letterbox format and are vhs HiFi. Movies include DR. NO (1962), FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE (1963), GOLDFINGER (1964), THUNDERBALL (1965), YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE (1967) and DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER (1971). Sean Connery fans will find this set to be a welcome addition to their Bond video library, especially since the set is presented in Chronological order and begins the Bond series (which is continued with with 007 Collector's Set, Vol. 2 which encompasses Roger Moore's work).

5.0 out of 5 stars definitive, August 14, 2007

This review is from: James Bond 007 Gift Set Vol. 1 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is the origin of the film series and cultural phenomenon that is James Bond. Sean Connery defined James Bond in Dr. No and proceeded to set a bar that complicated the lives of every other Bond actor that had to follow him. In the set you can see the universal conventions of Bond that set over time but also see the flexibility in story lines that allowed the Bond series to remain very topical. It's fun to start at the beginning and watch the series tone and sensibility change slowly over time.
Each of the DVDs has additional bonuses such as documentaries on everything from the Bond girls to the effects to Ian Fleming and other goodies such as theatrical trailers and music videos.
If you really love Bond you should own them all so that you can visit your favorite Bond actors and stories over and over again.
