How can one not love GOLDFINGER?

I know, simply can not understand it.
Wilson was using its reputation to make a point.
If you were to take a 100 people who know about film and ask, “Name a classic Bond movie that’s Bond with a capital B.” Family Fortune style.
Then the top answer by a landslide would be “Goldfinger”.

Hmm, is the Fort Knox plan so much more fanciful than cutting off a whole country from the water supply - or getting money for a terrorist organization by winning a high stakes poker game?
What was I thinking? Anybody can get an atomic bomb at the corner drug store. And try to poison tens of thousands of troops with pilots led by a woman named Pussy Galore. Goldfinger and Quantum of Solace must have the same light, breezy tone.

I dislike Goldfinger too. And I also dislike The spy who loved me. Both are great Bond films but I just can't stand them. They are just weak to me.
Plus, a "Goldfinger feel" doesn't mean anything. I already said that about the "60s feel", but for a 2011 movie, it's nonsense.

I dislike Goldfinger...the novel Not the film of course. Still, FRWL and TB are better IMHO.Disliking GF and TSWLM... oh, boy, what is the world coming to?
But I respect... um, accept your opinion, of course.

I suppose so, yes, but it is quite difficult to define GF. DN=detective story; FRWL=spy story; GF=...; TB=super spy story; YOLT= OTT escapism story. Although I would say GF has the iconic aspect working in it´s favour. I happen to like GF (the movie, not the novel, which is the worst Fleming novel IMO) and I wouldn´t mind at all if SF channeled a bit of it.In any event, a kind of GOLDFINGER would perfectly be in line with CR and QOS as a natural progression, wouldn´t it?

I can kind of understand the dislike of Spy because it has always seemed to me an inferior remake of a weak film in the first place. The same applies to Moonraker. But Goldfinger defined the series, was the template, was the reason the series was a worldwide success and at the time was an incredible and original film. For younger Bond fans I think it's lustre has diminished because like all defining art it gets copied to death. I remember when I was young I used to sneer at my father's love of John Wayne and Frank Sinatra but as I got older I realised these peoples contribution to their art and the impact it had. Whether liked, fair enough subjective, but Goldfinger must be respected. Bond would not have lasted 50 years without it, and it is not even my favourite Bond film.I knew you'd react that way. Why disliking Goldfinger and Spy is an aberration for you ?

Flared trousers, presumably. It's a very vague description and I don't read too much into either. I think it's mainly been jumped upon by fans of early Connery, who have then moulded the term to apply to whatever they'd like to see - not that optimism is necessarily wrong!Honestly, I think these comments are far too vague to actually mean anything. What, exactly, gives a "60s feel" to the film?

...and a running time that is both arduously and needlessly long (which is weird considering it is the shortest Bond film).

Daniel Craig talks ‘Dragon Tattoo,’ next Bond film ‘Skyfall’
...
Q: Since you’re in London, shooting “Skyfall” -– and even looking like 007 right now -– do you still feel as good about the upcoming Bond movie as you did before the shoot?
DC: Oh yes. It’s a great, fantastic script, and we’re making a very good Bond movie. It’s going to be very special and different, but it’s still very much tied to Bonds of old. I’ve said it over and over again, but I’m very excited about “Skyfall,” and Sam’s [Mendes, the director] doing a wonderful job.
