Bring on the tough stuff. There’s not just one right answer.
- How would you describe James Bond? What are his strengths? What are his weaknesses? Is he a hero worth looking up to?

- How is Pussy Galore similar to other Bond girls? How is she different?
- What makes Goldfinger a classic villain? What makes him memorable?
- In what ways is Goldfinger rooted in the 1960s? For example, how does it deal with sexuality differently from the way we deal with it today? Or gender roles? What other social values have changed?
- What state-of-the-art technology in Goldfinger is now outdated? What technology did Goldfinger "predict"?
- What do you think about the opening song? How does it set the tone for the film? Where would you rank it among all Bond themes?
