I watched Goldfinger yesterday, which means I've now watched about 1/5 of the 007 series in a little over two weeks. I also now own all of the Bond films on DVD except for Quantum of Solace, so I can pretty much watch them at my leisure. Goldfinger was pretty great, with some iconic scenes that I've seen parodied a few times. It's also the film that marked the first use of the "Bond theme" by a famous artist (in this case, Shirley Bassey).

One piece of trivia I didn't know about until I watched Goldfinger was that the Sneaker Pimps got the sample that runs through the song "6 Underground" from the film's score. That kind of blew my mind since I've liked that song since before I turned 20.
