Documentary that sets out to tell the story behind the making of the
James Bond films. When American producers Harry Saltzman and Albert
Broccoli acquired the rights to adapt Ian Fleming's 'James Bond' novels
for the big screen they couldn't have dreamt of the success they would
find. However, as the franchise became a licence to print money
conflict inevitably emerged, causing Saltzman and Broccoli to fall out
with their lead actor, Sean Connery, then each other.
Despite the increasingly fraught drama behind the scenes, the on-screen
drama of the Bond films has continued to draw audiences to the cinema
50 years after the release of the first film, 'Dr No' (1962). Among the
Bond luminaries to contribute to the documentary are George Lazenby,
Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.

goings-on in the house and the reason behind these events
eventually causes Jane to leave. She manages to find herself a
better life but something draws her back to Thornfield...
Jane Eyre:
Jane Eyre is a mistreated orphan who learns to survive by relying on her independence and intelligence.

Timothy Dalton plays James Bond for the first time, leaving behind
the high camp of the Roger Moore years for a relatively straight
reading of the famous secret agent. The action this time sees Bond
running around various exotic spots (Gibraltar, Afghanistan) in
pursuit of a couple of seedy dealers in arms, drugs and diamonds.
There is as much action and gadgetry as ever, but a slightly less
tongue-in-cheek script keeps 007's romantic liaisons down to a
minimum. Caroline Bliss makes her debut as Miss Moneypenny.

The second and final of Timothy Dalton's outings as James Bond sees 007 leave Her Majesty's Secret Sevice and branch out on his own. The trouble begins when drug baron Franz Sanchez (Robert Davi) makes an unexpected appearance at the wedding of Felix Leiter (David Hedison), Bond's good friend, leaving the groom maimed and the bride dead. Bond has no choice but to seek his revenge and, with a little help from the obligatory 'Bond girl' (Carey Lowell) and the ever-present Q (Desmond Llewellyn), sets out after the villainous Sanchez.
Causing a storm on its release because of its violence and dark plot, the film was originally given an 18 certificate before studio cuts.

Nicholas Angel is the finest cop London has to offer, he's so good, he makes everyone else look bad. As a result, Angel's superiors send him to a place where his talents won't be quite so embarrassing - the sleepy and seemingly crime-free village of Sandford.
Once there, he is partnered with the well-meaning but overeager police officer Danny Butterman. Danny is a huge action movie fan and believes his new big-city partner might just be a real-life "bad boy," and his chance to experience the life of gunfights and car chases he so longs for. Angel is quick to dismiss this as childish fantasy and Danny's puppy-like enthusiasm only adds to Angel's growing frustration.
However, as a series of grisly accidents rocks the village, Angel is convinced that Sandford is not what it seems and as the intrigue deepens, Danny's dreams of explosive, high-octane, car-chasing, gunfighting, all-out action seem more and more like a reality.
