My Top Twenty-Five Action Movies (25 movies items)

"This is the first great Bond film. I liked Dr. No, but this one was far superior in story and in action. The fight scene on the train is one of Bond's best moments. This is a true classic action film that remains as one of Bond's best outings to date. "
