Dr. No (1962) was the first James Bond movie. Adapted from Ian Fleming's novel, the film featured Sean Connery as secret agent 007 and would be the first in a long line of successful Bond flicks. Connery would reprise his role in five more films, for a total of six appearances as James Bond. According to some reports, he turned down a then unheard of sum of $5.5 Million to appear in a seventh film.
