There are 25 official James Bond movies.
Six actors have played 007 across 60+ years: Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig. Two non-canonical Bond films also exist (Casino Royale in 1967 and Never Say Never Again in 1983), bringing the total to 27 if you're a completist.
The streaming home situation has been chaotic. After a brief detour to Netflix from January to April 2026, the entire 007 catalog now lives at Amazon Prime Video, which makes sense given that Amazon MGM Studios owns the rights. This is the most stable streaming home Bond has had in years.
Here's the complete order, the actor for each entry, and the current streaming status.
May 2026.
The Sean Connery Era (1962-1971)
1. Dr. No (1962)
The original. Sean Connery establishes the template. Ursula Andress in the bikini. Joseph Wiseman as the title villain. Terence Young directing. Made for $1.1 million, grossed $59 million.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
2. From Russia with Love (1963)
Many fans consider this Connery's best. A Cold War thriller that takes Bond seriously as a spy rather than a sex object. The train fight between Bond and Robert Shaw's Red Grant is still one of the great fight sequences in any spy film.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
3. Goldfinger (1964)
The peak of the early Bond formula. Auric Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe). Oddjob (Harold Sakata). Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman). The Aston Martin DB5 debut. "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die." This is the entry-point Bond if you haven't seen one.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
4. Thunderball (1965)
The first Bond to crack $100 million. Underwater action sequences that took six months to film. Adolfo Celi as Largo. Claudine Auger as Domino. Largely responsible for the underwater-set-piece subgenre.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
5. You Only Live Twice (1967)
The Bond film where we finally see Blofeld's face (Donald Pleasence). Set largely in Japan. Written by Roald Dahl, of all people. The volcano lair set piece. A weaker plot than the previous Connery films, but the spectacle holds up.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
The Lazenby Interlude (1969)
6. On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)
George Lazenby's only Bond film. Diana Rigg as Tracy. Telly Savalas as Blofeld. The romance is real. The ending is the most emotionally devastating in the franchise. Often retroactively recognized as one of the best Bond films, despite the lukewarm reception at the time.
If you've only seen Connery and Craig, this is the one that bridges them.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
The Connery Return and Roger Moore Era (1971-1985)
7. Diamonds Are Forever (1971)
Connery returns for one last canonical Bond after Lazenby. Set in Las Vegas. Camp. Charles Gray as a third Blofeld. Notable now mostly as the bridge between Connery's serious era and Moore's tongue-in-cheek one.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
8. Live and Let Die (1973)
Roger Moore's debut. The Bond film that incorporated blaxploitation influences and voodoo mythology. Jane Seymour as Solitaire. Paul McCartney's title song. Significantly more controversial in retrospect than at the time.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
9. The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
Christopher Lee as the villain Scaramanga. Maud Adams (later returning in Octopussy). One of the weaker Moore entries, redeemed by Lee's performance.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
10. The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Moore's best. Roger Moore at the peak of his charm. Barbara Bach as Anya Amasova. Jaws (Richard Kiel) introduced as the recurring henchman. The Lotus Esprit car-submarine. The ski-parachute opening.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
11. Moonraker (1979)
Bond goes to space. Capitalizing on Star Wars. The film most often cited as where the Moore era jumped the shark. Still has its defenders.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
12. For Your Eyes Only (1981)
A deliberate course correction back to grounded action after Moonraker. Carole Bouquet as Melina. Considered one of the better Moore entries by Bond fans who prefer the spy thriller over the sci-fi spectacle.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
13. Octopussy (1983)
Maud Adams returns in the title role. Set in India. Notable for Bond escaping a circus tiger by yelling "sit." The era's tonal looseness on full display.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
14. A View to a Kill (1985)
Moore's final Bond. Christopher Walken as the villain Max Zorin. Grace Jones as May Day. Tanya Roberts as Stacey Sutton. Duran Duran's title track is the best thing in the movie.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
The Dalton Experiment (1987-1989)
15. The Living Daylights (1987)
Timothy Dalton's debut. A more serious, more book-faithful Bond than Moore. Maryam d'Abo as the love interest. The cello case sled scene. Aged better than its reception at the time would suggest.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
16. Licence to Kill (1989)
Dalton's second and final Bond. A revenge plot that's darker than any prior franchise entry. Robert Davi as Sanchez. Carey Lowell as Pam. Often cited as the Bond film that paved the way for the Daniel Craig era 17 years later.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
The Brosnan Reset (1995-2002)
17. GoldenEye (1995)
Pierce Brosnan's debut after a six-year gap from the franchise. Sean Bean as Alec Trevelyan. Famke Janssen as Xenia Onatopp. Judi Dench's first appearance as M. The film that proved Bond could survive the end of the Cold War.
The N64 game is also one of the most influential video games of the 1990s, but that's a different article.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
18. Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
Jonathan Pryce as a media mogul villain (in a film made before media moguls were the actual villains). Michelle Yeoh as Wai Lin. Teri Hatcher in a smaller role. Solid mid-tier Bond.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
19. The World Is Not Enough (1999)
Sophie Marceau as Elektra King. Robert Carlyle as Renard. Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist named Christmas Jones (the casting is regrettable). The plot is the strongest of the Brosnan era.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
20. Die Another Day (2002)
Halle Berry as Jinx. The invisible Aston Martin. The film that broke the Brosnan era. Generally considered the worst Bond film by both fans and critics.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
The Daniel Craig Era (2006-2021)
21. Casino Royale (2006)
The reboot. Daniel Craig's debut. Eva Green as Vesper Lynd. Mads Mikkelsen as Le Chiffre. The poker tournament. The torture scene. The Aston Martin flip. The most acclaimed Bond film of the 21st century.
If you've only got time for one Daniel Craig, this is it.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
22. Quantum of Solace (2008)
The direct sequel to Casino Royale, shortened by the 2007-2008 writers' strike. The shortest Bond film. Olga Kurylenko as Camille. Mathieu Amalric as Dominic Greene. Held together by Craig's performance despite the disjointed plot.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
23. Skyfall (2012)
Sam Mendes directing. The Bond film that won Adele an Oscar (and made $1.1 billion). Javier Bardem as Silva. Judi Dench's M arc resolved. Roger Deakins's cinematography. The fiftieth anniversary Bond. Many fans' favorite.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
24. Spectre (2015)
Sam Mendes returning. Christoph Waltz as Blofeld (re-introduced into the canon). Léa Seydoux as Madeleine Swann. Mixed reviews at the time, somewhat reappraised since. The opening Day of the Dead sequence remains one of the franchise's best.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
25. No Time to Die (2021)
Daniel Craig's final Bond. Cary Joji Fukunaga directing. Rami Malek as the villain. Ana de Armas in a brief but franchise-defining role. Léa Seydoux returning. The ending broke the franchise's most sacred rule, and it earned it.
Where to stream: Prime Video.
The Non-Canonical Pair
Casino Royale (1967)
A comedic parody starring David Niven, Peter Sellers, Woody Allen, and Orson Welles. Five directors. Tonally chaotic. Worth seeing as a curiosity, not as Bond canon.
Where to stream: Rent or buy. Not on Prime Video.
Never Say Never Again (1983)
Connery returns one more time outside the official EON Productions framework, in this remake of Thunderball. The legal rights situation is famously complicated. Considered apocryphal, not part of the official 25.
Where to stream: Prime Video (was included in the Netflix package, returned to Prime).
How to Watch James Bond in Order
The straightforward path: watch in release order, from Dr. No (1962) to No Time to Die (2021). All 25 are on Prime Video.
The "best of each era" speedrun, if you don't want to commit to all 25:
- Connery era: Goldfinger and From Russia with Love
- Lazenby: On Her Majesty's Secret Service
- Moore era: The Spy Who Loved Me
- Dalton: Licence to Kill
- Brosnan: GoldenEye
- Craig: Casino Royale, Skyfall, No Time to Die
That's eight films, roughly 18 hours of viewing, and a solid education in what each Bond era actually offered.
What's Next: Bond 26
The next Bond film is in development. Denis Villeneuve (Dune, Blade Runner 2049, Arrival) is officially attached to direct, which is one of the most exciting hires in franchise history. No casting yet on the new Bond himself. Amazon MGM Studios has full creative control after Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson stepped down in February 2025. Amy Pascal and David Heyman are the new producers.
Bond 26 is expected in 2027 or 2028. Filming has not yet begun as of May 2026.
In the meantime, all 25 official Bond films are on Prime Video. Never Say Never Again is also there. Casino Royale (1967) requires renting.
Last updated: May 23, 2026. The Bond catalog moved from Netflix back to Prime Video on April 20, 2026. We'll refresh this guide if the streaming home shifts again or if Bond 26 casting news lands.
