This is the end, hold your breath and count to ten, feel the earth move and then hear my heart burst again

I went to see the new James Bond movie Skyfall at the cinema last Friday and was highly impressed.

This particular movie has been severely hyped up but did not disappoint. I will not give any details away, suffice to say it is up there with the best of the old-school Bond movies and Daniel Craig is excellent.

Given that I cannot go into the details of the movie, this week I present instead my Favourite Top 5s of all things James Bond
