Our suggestions
A diamond smuggling investigation leads James Bond to Las Vegas, where he uncovers an evil plot involving a rich business tycoon.
"After Sean Connery refused to star in 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' (where he was replaced by George Lazenby), Eon Productions paid a small fortune to get the actor back for the seventh installment of the franchise. It was also the 1970s, with the James Bond myth bigger than his own movies - something that 'Diamonds Are Forever' embraces without any shame, as well as embracing humor. There is less focus on action, too. The biggest highlight is the opening theme, 'Diamonds Are Forever', a radio hit of the decade sung by Shirley Bassey."
