Key to the City
Key to the City x Bond
—Agent: The following is for your eyes only—
Talk about a character who won’t live and let die! Just like our Andy from Key to the City (which you should check out now by the way!), James Bond has had many different faces over the years (though Andy’s face literally changes every morning he wakes up ????), which got me wondering about the best James Bond flick of all time. So read on and find out which movie gets a license to kill! Ok, I’m done with the puns now.
Moonraker (1979)
Inspired by the success of Star Wars, Moonraker is an awesome, spacey James Bond movie.
Golden Eye (1995)
We love Sean Bean in pretty much everything, and he’s perfect as villain Alec Trevelyan/Janus, a rogue former MI6 agent. There’s also Famke Janssen, who has super-powered killer thighs.
Thunderball (1965)
This movie has one of the most iconic James Bond moments ever–when a gorgeous woman in a bathtub asks Bond for something to wear, he simply hands her a pair of shoes.
The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
As much as we love the actors who play James Bond, the villains are just as interesting. It doesn’t get much better than Christopher Lee playing a deranged assassin.
Casino Royale (2006)
Casino Royale did a remarkable job at painting James Bond as a real human, a trend which would follow in Daniel Craig’s later Bond movies. Eva Green’s portrayal of Vesper Lynd was a welcome twist on the standard Bond girl.
Dr. No (1962)
The very first of the James Bond films featured Sean Connery facing off against Doctor No, a crazed nuclear scientist. It set the standard for every Bond movie that followed.
The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Though Roger Moore may not be people’s favorite James Bond, the worldwide scenery and crazy sets–like the ocean hideout–gave The Spy Who Loved Me a grand scale.
Skyfall (2012)
From Adele’s beautiful theme to the gorgeous cinematography, it’s impossible for Skyfall not to make an impression. This was Daniel Craig’s best appearance as James Bond, and Javier Bardem provides a terrifying counterbalance.
From Russia with Love (1963)
Sean Connery is one of our favorite James Bonds ever, and for good reason. In his second stint as the spy, Connery shines alongside former Miss Rome Daniela Bianchi. This is one of the most spy-feeling movies of any of the Bond films.
Goldfinger (1964)
Hailed as the “ultimate Bond” movie by many sources, Goldfinger featured Sean Connery in his third run as James Bond. Plus, who can forget one of the most memorable exchanges in film history? “Do you expect me to talk?” “No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die!”

The 16 Greatest Villains That Will Make You Join the Dark Side

[dropcap]A[/dropcap]s much as everyone likes to cheer on the hero, there are certain movies where you can’t help but feel some sympathy for the baddie. Sometimes, it’s good to be bad. Just ask Gabby… or better yet, check out Gabby Goes to College and find out why. Sometimes though, bad just means plain ol’ bad… and we love it. Here are the 16 greatest movie villains ever:
#16. Commodus
Joaquin Phoenix, Gladiator (2000)
He murdered his father to seize the throne, which doesn’t really start his rule off on a good foot.
#15. Loki
Tom Hiddleston, The Avengers (2012)
This was the movie that put Tom Hiddleston on the map. Who wouldn’t want to follow the charismatic god of mischief?
#14. Wicked Witch of the West
Margaret Hamilton, The Wizard of Oz (1939)
The flying monkeys may have been creepier, but the Wicked Witch of the West was the mastermind behind it all.
#13. Freddy Kreuger
Robert Englund, A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
Nightmares are already scary enough before Freddy Kreuger finds his way into your mind.
#12. Hans Gruber
Alan Rickman, Die Hard (1988)
The German terrorist wouldn’t have been the same without the late Alan Rickman. Only his voice could leave such an impact on lines like, “That’s a very nice suit, Mr. Takagi. It would be a shame to ruin it.”
#11. Sauron
The Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001-2003)
Sauron is massively powerful, but his full power isn’t realized without his trusty ring. Unfortunately for the rest of Middle Earth and especially Frodo, he wants it back.
#10. Hans Landa
Christoph Waltz, Inglourious Basterds (2009)
Quentin Tarantino refers to Hans Landa as the best character he’s ever created. Best, but possibly most chilling.
#9. Voldemort
Ralph Fiennes, Harry Potter franchise (2005-2011)
The darkest wizard of all time murdered Harry Potter’s parents before attempting to kill Harry himself, who was a baby at the time. Who does that? Only one of the greatest villains ever.
#8. Bruce the Shark
Jaws (1975)
You only need to hear the music to know you’re in trouble.
#7. Michael Myers
Tony Moran, Halloween (1978)
He wears a creepy mask that must be hard to see out of and never seems to run, but somehow he always catches up to his victims.
#6. The Joker
Heath Ledger, The Dark Knight (2008)
Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker was chilling. It won the actor a posthumous Oscar for his work.
#5. Count Dracula
Bela Lugosi, Dracula (1931)
Not only is Dracula one of the most classic monsters, Bela Lugosi’s portrayal is a classic performance.
#4. Jigsaw
Tobin Bell, Saw (2004)
Having a strong desire to live is one thing, but Jigsaw takes things too far when he tests other people’s will to do the same by making them mutilate themselves.
#3. Amon Goeth
Ralph Fiennes, Schindler’s List (1993)
Goeth oversaw a Jewish labor camp during WWII, where he’d occasionally shoot prisoners just for the heck of it.
#2. Hannibal Lecter
Anthony Hopkins, Hannibal (2001)
He eats people, but somehow you’re still rooting for this eerie movie villain.
#1. Darth Vader
David Prowse, Star Wars Franchise (1977-1983)
Though he’s most known for his heavy breathing and telling Luke about that whole paternity thing, Darth Vader, above all, strikes fear into his enemies’ hearts.
