There were three Harry Palmer movies with Michael in the sixties; The Ipcress File, Funeral in Berlin and The Billion Dollar Brain. Michael reprised the role in the nineties with two more films; Bullet to Beijing and Midnight in St Petersburg. If you like Michael you will probably enjoy these.

Oh, loved Michael Caine in that. He totally outshone Steve Martin.

"In 1962, Sean Connery became the first actor to take on the weight of the Bond name, starring in Dr. No and four films that followed. He finished up his time with the character in 1967 with You Only Live Twice,.."

Connery also starred in "Diamonds are Forever" and came back for the dreadful "Never Say Never Again."

I like both Connery and Moore as Bond. Seems the Moore played the role the most in movies.
