More than half a century later, the Bond franchise is still going strong, with a 25th installment due in 2019. Sean Connery, who became an international star because of "Dr. No," remains for many the definitive 007 and an icon of screen masculinity, even though he retired from movies more than a decade ago and holstered Bond's Walther PPK for a good two decades before that. (The Beatles did pretty well, too, despite a diss from Connery's Bond in 1964's "Goldfinger.")
