All the 007 Steelbooks have a cover that true Bond fans will recognize from the famous opening credit Montage of the classic films, whether it was to Sir Paul (McCartney), Sheena Easton, or the best of all, the amazing "haunting" vocals from "Goldfinger" and "Diamonds are Forever," the tireless Shirley Bassey. In addition to the 2:35;1 widescreen, there's DTS-HD audio on the "Thunderball" Steelbook. Four "Featurettes" round out this Steelbook that will only go up in value...so buy it now at just over the cost of the blu-ray plastic that only devalues with time.

Blu ray Bond is best ! I am replacing all of my DVDs with the blu ray version for my 4K player and flat screen. Better picture, sound, and more durable disc.

Still the best OO7 portrayer, Connery fit the character perfectly (although Daniel Craig is a close second) when the first James Bond movies came to the screen. This, and "FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE", are my 2 favorite Bond movies. Action prevails and the actors/actresses fulfill all ones expectations. It's a 007 movie with only a few of the comic remarks that detracted from future installments. When I read Ian Fleming's 007 books (which I still reread on occasion) Bond comes across as a serious, no-nonsense spy, with special human skills, which this movie exemplifies.

If you're looking to add to your Blu-ray movie collection with some older Bond flicks and don't feel like spending the coin on the box-set, the Steelbook offerings from Best Buy are worth the money. Quality Blu-ray, not that cheaper quality thin stuff, and the packaging is eye-catching as well. As for the movie, well, if you're a Bond fan and haven't seen Thunderball yet, you NEED to see it. Hands down one of the best Bond films from that era.

This is my second favorite Bond movie. "Goldfinger" being number 1. This film was made on a grander scale. It certainly has a Cold War feel to it. Even though it is 50 years old, I think it still holds up as one of the best Bond films. And Sean Connery does his usual great job. Nice for me to add to my DVD collection
