Give the gift of a golden finger, or maybe a little bit of Thunderball. Right now at Amazon, the James Bond 50th Anniversary Collection is nearly 50% off, bringing the price down to just $60 from its usual $115. That's a great price, especially when you consider that 24 films are included in this great-looking collection. That's just $2.50 per movie — cheaper than renting just one through Amazon Prime. With films ranging from Dr. No to Spectre, that's a value that you won't beat anywhere else.
Just look at what other buyers have to say. "It’s been quite a long time since I’ve seen many of these Bond movies. Always a fan but pretty much blown away by the visuals and sound of this Blu-ray set. Even the earliest Bond movies in this set have great clarity. Really enjoying these," one fan said. "Also great to have this full set in nice quality packaging; takes up a small amount of space compared to the individual cases like I had from before on DVD. Recommend to any Bond fans."
Another fan says, "Every Bond movie in high def, with loads of special features? What else is there to say? I grew up on the Timothy Dalton movies. Those were the ones I saw in theaters with my dad. And I've seen other ones on cable throughout the years, but the price was right, and this collection has got everything. Been fun to take the chronological journey, even if the early movies have been somewhat tainted by Austin Powers! But as far as owning a slice of action cinema history, this set is essential."
This is a perfect gift for those hard-to-shop-for dads and father-in-laws on your list, or for anyone that likes a good spy thriller. It's a bit of an educational crash course in the evolution of the genre, starting all the way in 1964 with Dr. No and ending with Spectre. The only movie not included is No Time to Die, the most recent of the Daniel Craig films.
The full list of movies included in this set:
Dr. No
From Russia With love
Goldfinger
Thunderball
You Only Live Twice
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Diamonds Are Forever
Live and Let Die
The Man With The Golden Gun

Octopussy
A View to a Kill
The Living Daylights
License to Kill
GoldenEye
Tomorrow Never Dies
The World Is Not Enough
Die Another Day
Casino Royale
Quantum of Solace

That's a lot of 007, and it covers the full spectrum from Sean Connery (the best of the Bonds IMHO), all the way down to Daniel Craig.
