Netflix has manifested a huge deal to acquire all 25 James Bond movies, spanning from 1962 to 2021, a giant new section of action films in its roster.
A day after being added, three Bond films have already landed in the Netflix top 10 list: No Time to Die, Spectre and Skyfall. Three out of five Daniel Craig ones, leaving behind the first two, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, for now.
But it has all of them. All movies, starring all Bonds. Here is the grand list in chronological order:
- Dr. No (1962) – Sean Connery
- From Russia with Love (1963) – Sean Connery
- Goldfinger (1964) – Sean Connery
- Thunderball (1965) – Sean Connery
- You Only Live Twice (1967) – Sean Connery
- On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) – George Lazenby
- Diamonds Are Forever (1971) – Sean Connery
- Live and Let Die (1973) – Roger Moore
- The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) – Roger Moore
- The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) – Roger Moore
- Moonraker (1979) – Roger Moore
- For Your Eyes Only (1981) – Roger Moore
- Octopussy (1983) – Roger Moore
- Never Say Never Again (1983) – Sean Connery
- A View to a Kill (1985) – Roger Moore
- The Living Daylights (1987) – Timothy Dalton
- Licence to Kill (1989) – Timothy Dalton
- GoldenEye (1995) – Pierce Brosnan
- Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) – Pierce Brosnan
- The World Is Not Enough (1999) – Pierce Brosnan
- Die Another Day (2002) – Pierce Brosnan
- Casino Royale (2006) – Daniel Craig
- Quantum of Solace (2008) – Daniel Craig
- Skyfall (2012) – Daniel Craig
- Spectre (2015) – Daniel Craig
- No Time to Die (2021) – Daniel Craig
Obviously, everyone has their own favorite Bond movies, a lot of the picks based on what decade you grew up in. Pierce Brosnan was my Bond, and between the movie and the video game, GoldenEye was my #1. I think Skyfall ended up dethroning it later, though. I also love The Man with the Golden Gun, Moonraker, Tomorrow Never Dies and Casino Royale.
Daniel Craig has left the franchise to solve murders for Netflix, and the elaborate casting hunt has begun for the next Bond, now five years out from the last film, a decent gap in the history of Bond films. Reportedly, this next actor will be younger (Daniel Craig is now 57), and the most recent rumor is that Jacob Elordi is being tested for the role in the upcoming Denis Villeneuve movie, the actor fresh off a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for his role in Frankenstein. Many have discounted this because…he’s not even British, which would seem like a prerequisite. He did adopt an English accent convincingly in Saltburn, however. Still, I doubt it’s him.
So, get on Netflix and do a marathon viewing if you want, or just watch your favorite Bond flicks.
