Named by the American Film Institute as one of cinema’s greatest screen heroes, James Bond was back in action for YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE (1967) – the fifth theatrical outing of the agent with a license to kill, with iconic author Roald Dahl this time adapting Ian Fleming’s iconic character for the screen. Bringing his distinctive and ruthless charm to the Land of the Rising Sun to face off against Donald Pleasance’s incarnation of Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the inimitable 007 was here embodied once again by Sean Connery, who was honored with an AFI Life Achievement Award in 2006 – and whose delivery of Bond’s classic drink order also earned a place among AFI’s greatest movie quotes of all time.
