James and the Bond Girls

Ursula Andress, aka Honey Ryder in the first ever James Bond film Dr. No, would become the first of many Bond Girls. Something that would tend to be a returning theme at the end of all of the films for 007 Agent, James Bond and the leading actress in his arms.

Encore VOD now has 17 Bond films available to watch and I've decided to start off with Dr. No, being the first in the long series of films. Its fun to go back and watch these old films and see how far things have now come.

With very simple effects and the acting being a bit silly in some parts, its still entertaining to watch these. When Bond arrives on the island and is captured by Dr. No, I just had to laugh at some of the costumes and set designs they built for this film. In the end it would be James getting the girl, after he finished getting his man and saving the world of course.

I think it will be fun to watch the rest of these and see how far Sean Connery actually helps in bringing the character of James Bond to life on the screen. For me I've always found Sean Connery's portryal of the character to be my favorite of all the James Bond films.

Perhaps that is why other actors have wanted to play the role of James Bond and have their shot at saving the world and getting the girl. I'm sure the same can be said for the leading ladies and a chance at becoming the next Bond Girl.
