Top 5 James Bond Movies
Did you know that ODEON is the only UK cinema chain to have shown every James Bond film?
Ever since the first back in 1962 (Dr No) ODEON has loved 007. While we wait for the release of No Time to Die – Daniel Craig’s last ever appearance as Bond – we wanted to celebrate the previous movies.
We asked you which Bond movies you wanted to see back in cinemas, and the results are in...
1- Casino Royale (2006)

Why is it so great?
It’s Daniel Craig’s first outing as James Bond. Judi Dench as a formidable M.
Best line:
Vesper Lynd : You can switch off so easily, can't you? It doesn't bother you? Killing those people?

A fantastic villain. M gets to show what she’s made of. The original Aston Martin DB5.
