My kid and have been watching the James Bond films. We started with with the first one (Dr No) and have been working our way through chronologically, currently half way through On Her Majesties Secret Service.
I can't think of any other movies which are at the same time so goofy, and yet so endearing, despite themselves.
For me the high point of these films i the music, that John Barry genius. (You Only Live Twice boasts my favorite film score of all time)
Anyway - my kid digs them and no fear of him becoming even slightly mysogonistic as a result .. every time Bond kisses a girl he rolls his eyes

You've reminded me of watching "From Russia, With Love" with my boy. Its my favorite "real" Bond movie (I love the Woody Allen "Casino Royale", but for different reasons), and any time I express a strong sentiment about something in popular culture he wants to check it out. His verdict on this was two thumbs up, thank goodness.
