Writing in the James Bond Movies

by Adam Huddleston

For Christmas this year, my lovely bride gifted me a boxed set of all of the James Bond movies up to “Skyfall”. While the 007 motion pictures are known for their action and suspense, I can’t wait to dig into each movie to see how well they are written. My plan is to watch every film in the series chronologically from their release date. While I’m enjoying the harrowing escapes and cool gadgets, I’m looking to see if the dialogue sparks.

What are some of your favorite movies? If you are a writer, have you ever watched those films as a literary critic? I encourage everyone to try it. It can only strengthen your writing chops.
