The current James Bond, SPECTRE, is a must. The scene with the worldwide elitists meeting to plunder the rest of us is like a Soros dinner party. A truly great Bond movie, uncomfortably close to home.

I agree - it's very good. That scene made me wonder how much of the film was still fiction.

Also, I recently I saw Thunderball on streaming video. The one with the stolen nukes, lots of SCUBA scenes and underwater combat, etc. I noticed something interesting and checked it after the movie. Sure enough... SPECTRE's physical headquarters in the movie (in Paris, IIRC), was located behind/beneath a terrorist front organization supposedly tasked with "aiding refugees" (named "International Brotherhood for the Assistance of Stateless Persons").

That little tidbit passed by me for decades; it meant very little to anyone when the book was written or the movie first screened. Now, it leaps right off the screen. How astonishingly prescient.

That is a great call. Hiding behind the “refugees” even then!
