Stop what you are doing. Bond just landed in one place. I am dropping the definitive guide to watching every James Bond movie in order, with the exact sequence, what counts as official, and how to stream them tonight. The martinis can wait. Your 007 marathon starts here.
The Big Drop
As of this morning, nearly the entire James Bond catalog is live on Netflix in many regions, giving fans a clean runway for a full series binge. One title is still tied up in separate licensing in some places, but the rest is lined up and ready. If you have been circling a Bond marathon, this is the moment.
I have looked across the new collection and the order is intact. That means you can follow decades of spies, gadgets, and Aston Martins without switching apps. Availability can still vary by country. If you do not see every film, it is a rights issue, not your account.
Streaming lineups change and can vary by region. Open your Netflix app and search each title to confirm what is live where you are.
The Official Watch Order
The simplest and best way to watch is release order. It tracks the evolution of the role across six stars, and it lets the Daniel Craig era’s story arc play as designed. Here is the official Eon-produced sequence from 1962 to 2021:
- Dr. No (1962)
- From Russia with Love (1963)
- Goldfinger (1964)
- Thunderball (1965)
- You Only Live Twice (1967)
- On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969)
- Diamonds Are Forever (1971)
- Live and Let Die (1973)
- The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
- The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
- Moonraker (1979)
- For Your Eyes Only (1981)
- Octopussy (1983)
- A View to a Kill (1985)
- The Living Daylights (1987)
- Licence to Kill (1989)
- GoldenEye (1995)
- Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
- The World Is Not Enough (1999)
- Die Another Day (2002)
- Casino Royale (2006)
- Quantum of Solace (2008)
- Skyfall (2012)
- Spectre (2015)
- No Time to Die (2021)
If you want the two non-Eon curiosities for a complete picture, add Casino Royale (1967) as a side parody after You Only Live Twice, and Never Say Never Again (1983) after Octopussy. They are separate from the main line.
What Counts as Official
Eon Productions makes the core Bond movies. Those 25 titles are the canon. They shape the character from Sean Connery’s cool swagger to Daniel Craig’s bruised heart. George Lazenby’s one-film run gives the saga its most emotional twist. Roger Moore leans into wit and spectacle. Timothy Dalton brings steel. Pierce Brosnan blends charm and tech. Craig closes the loop with a five-film arc that actually rewards watching in order.
The theme songs track pop history too. Shirley Bassey belts. Adele soars. Billie Eilish whispers a warning. The suits evolve. The gadgets get smarter. The cars still own the room.
Where to Stream Right Now
On Netflix, look for the James Bond collection row, then start at Dr. No and keep going. The platform will surface the films in clusters by era, so double check against the list above to keep the order clean. If one title is missing in your region, it may sit on another service or be available to rent. Do not skip it during the Craig run. That era connects plot threads from Casino Royale to No Time to Die.
Short on time? Sample one from each era, then come back for the full run. Try Goldfinger, The Spy Who Loved Me, GoldenEye, Skyfall, No Time to Die.

Quick timing guide for your weekend
- Early Connery is tight and sharp, two hours each.
- Moore-era adventures are larger and playful, plan a bit more time.
- Craig’s arc is modern and intense, watch those five close together.
- Save Skyfall for primetime, it is a showpiece.
Why This Matters
This is not just a movie drop. It is a pop culture reset. Bond marathons are family lore. Fans argue about the best M, the best Q, and the best pre-title stunt. Celebrities still measure swagger against the tux, and fashion houses chase that silhouette every awards season. When a full 007 run becomes easy to stream, a new wave of fans is born, and the old debates roar back to life. Connery loyalists will point to Goldfinger. Moore fans will hold up The Spy Who Loved Me. Craig faithful will say start at Casino Royale, then let the heartbreak land.
Here is the bottom line. If you have wanted to do Bond right, you now have the path and the platform. Start at the beginning. Follow the order. Enjoy the ride. Then argue about the best Bond like the rest of us. Martini optional, excitement guaranteed.
