Movies that feel likeCasino Royale (1967)

Sir James Bond is called back out of retirement to stop SMERSH. In order to trick SMERSH, James thinks up the ultimate plan - that every agent will be named 'James Bond'. One of the Bonds, whose real name is Evelyn Tremble is sent to take on Le Chiffre in a game of baccarat, but all the Bonds get more than they can handle.

If you loved Casino Royale, the closest films we have are Project A (1983), Armour of God (1986) and Come Drink with Me (1966). All three share Casino Royale's epic and kinetic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Prodigal Son (1981).

Johnny English poster
Johnny English
