Casino Royale was the first novel published
by Ian Fleming in 1953.
It starred an as yet unknown fictional spy named James Bond.
His adventures were loosely based on Fleming's exploits
in the British secret service during the fever
pitch of World War II.
Bond would go on to become one of the most
famous and successful characters of all time.
In 2002, the Bond franchise drove straight into a ditch
with Die Another Day, Pierce Brosnan's
final, and objectively worst, outing as the famed double-0.
Released that same year, The Bourne Identity
turned the spy genre on its head,
instilling a gritty reality, popularizing
shaky handheld camerawork, and catapulting Matt Damon
to another echelon of superstardom.
