Do you have a love of fast cars that borders on the Freudian? How about a gleeful disregard for political correctness? Or maybe you just have an uncontrollable urge to watch movies about hairy Scotsmen? Well the IFC Center (323 Avenue of the Americas) has just the film series for you. James Bond No. 1: Sean Connery’s 007 (August 31 – September 6, 2012) will feature all seven of Connery’s booze-swilling, womanizing, and Cold War paranoia packed 007 films on 35mm and DCP.

• Dr. No
• From Russia With Love
• Goldfinger
• Thunderball
• You Only Live Twice
• Diamonds Are Forever
• Never Say Never Again

And for those of you that just want to watch all seven movies in one sitting, the IFC Center will have a special Bonda-a-thon screening of all seven films in chronological order on Sunday, September 2.

These films are a treat; a combination of Cold War era jingoism, and classic cinema style. What can I possibly say about these films that have not already been said a million times before? You either are absolutely love these films, or you loathe them.

So grab a friend, and just enjoy some shameless re-assertion of Western values in the face of those lousy secret-base infesting Commies and enemy agents. Otherwise you will just have to re-watch the London Olympics opening ceremony to get your Bond fix, and who wants that?
