TCM SPECIAL THEME: James Bond
TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
Every Thursday this month, TCM is devoting its prime-time and late-night lineup to presenting, in chronological order, the films featuring British secret agent James Bond. Tonight, TCM presents the first five films in the Bond canon. (Too bad there wasn’t room for two more, because then the tribute would have begun with 007 movies, instead of 005.) Tonight’s movies all are from the Sean Connery era, and the lineup includes the best Bond movie ever made. Dr. No, from 1962, begins the Bond “theme” at 8 p.m. ET, followed at 10 ET by 1963’s From Russia with Love, at 12:15 a.m. ET by 1964’s Goldfinger, at 2:15 a.m. ET by 1965’s Thunderball, and at 4:45 a.m. ET by 1967’sYou Only Live Twice. Oh, and the all-time best of the Bonds? That’s easy: Goldfinger (pictured).
