The highlight of this year's Oscars was a tribute to the half-century old James Bond franchise. The salute included a performance by Great Britain's Dame Shirley Bassey of the title song to "Goldfinger" as she had done for the 1964 hit film's soundtrack. In addition to "Goldfinger" and the previously cited "Skyfall," Merrick has these other exploits of Ian Fleming's immortal spy on DVD:
Casino Royale
Diamonds Are Forever
The Man With The Golden Gun
Quantum Of Silence
The World Is Not Enough
