Cast: Sean Connery, Ursula Andress

Arriving just as many baby boomers began their teens, the first Bond movie introduced them to the possibilities of adventure, travel, romance, and doing good. Its Cold War bona fides were rock solid — Bond is very much part of the anti-communist side — which meant kids could dream of having fun while taking on America’s Soviet adversaries.

Also, the Ursula Andress emerging from the ocean scene was forever imprinted on many Baby Boomers.
