4. Thunderball (1965) A massive underwater spectacle. Bond hunts for two stolen NATO atomic bombs. This film introduced the jetpack and the villain Emilio Largo.

5. You Only Live Twice (1967) Bond fakes his own death and goes to Japan to stop Blofeld from triggering US-Soviet war. The first film to reveal Blofeld’s face and the inside of his volcano lair.
