From Russia With Love
Goldfinger
The Descendants
9-9.5/10 for all three.
The second two Bond movies improved on Dr. No, with better villains (Robert Shaw and Gert Frobe were great in their roles) and female leads. Both movies had a great larger-than-life quality; basically grounded in reality, but with the right amount of over-top-elements.
My ticket for The Descendants was bought as soon as I heard Alexander Payne was doing a movie with George Clooney, and it didn't disappoint. Maybe the best I've seen this year, but it might not beat out Moneyball.
