Featuring exotic locations and a terrific score, You Only Live Twice is one of the better humorous Bond films, which is saying a lot. The series still maintained its dignity to this point, while splashing in enough wit and gadgetry to satisfy a majority of modern day Bond fans.
After faking his death to provide more maneuverability, Bond heads to Japan in an attempt to uncover the powers behind the abduction of both a US and a Soviet space capsule. The clock is ticking though, as both the USSR and the USA blame each other for the disappearance of their respective capsules, pushing them (and the world) to the brink of a nuclear war.
Sure enough, the evil S.P.E.C.T.R.E. is behind it all, and Bond faces off against the evil mastermind Ernst Blofeld. Partnering up with Japanese secret agents, Bond faces certain death with a grain of salt and his classic charm, both saving the day and getting the girl.
Head East, old chap!
