How to watch the 'James Bond' movies in order
If you're a 007 fan looking to watch "James Bond" movies in order, we have the perfect guide. While you'll still need a couple of streaming services to watch every single Bond adventure, at least the list is shrinking. Many of the movies are no longer able to stream at all, and those that are (the newer ones) almost all on Prime Video.
The "James Bond" movie franchise has been going strong since 1962, with the release of "Dr. No." The Bond movies have attracted a fervent fanbase and the franchise has become one of the most iconic in Hollywood history. This legacy continued most recently in "No Time to Die," which featured Daniel Craig as the secret agent for the final time.
The "James Bond" movies are based on Ian Fleming's novels and short stories, first published in 1953. There are 27 films in total, 25 of which were produced by Eon Productions. Eon, founded by producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, now own the rights to all of Fleming's novels after decades of contentious legal battles.
Throughout the Bond franchise, six actors have portrayed the dashing, debonaire agent: Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig. (A seventh, David Niven, played Bond in the non-Eon version of "Casino Royale" in 1967.) With Craig's run now over, we've already been pondering who could replace him as the next James Bond. Aaron Taylor-Johnson seems to be the top choice among fans at the moment.

Where to watch the "James Bond" movies on streaming
Updated July 2024
In the U.S., the "James Bond" movies have constantly moved between different streaming services, from Max, Netflix and Prime Video to Peacock, Paramount Plus and Hulu. Once Amazon purchased MGM Studios, many of the Bond movies also started appearing on MGM Plus.
At the moment though, it looks like things have changed once again in July. Many of the Bond movies aren't available to stream at all, since Max removed around 12 "James Bond" movies at the end of the June.
If you prefer not to sign up for a streaming service, all of the films are available to rent or own from digital retailers such as Amazon, Apple's iTunes and YouTube. Things are much easier in Australia, however, as 007's adventures can all be streamed on services Stan in 4K Ultra HD and HDR. You can also stream some of the Bond films from Prime Video but Stan is the only home for everything Bond in Australia.

Are the James Bond movies on Netflix?
Unfortunately for fans of the most popular streaming service, Netflix is no longer the home to any of the James Bond movies. It's not impossible that Bond will one day return to Netflix though, so stay tuned here for future updates.
More movies to watch online
Looking for more big sagas of movies? We've got you covered. For starters, one service lets you watch the John Wick movies online. You can consume most of the Marvel movies in order on Disney Plus, but there's still some MCU movies you can't get there.
As for the task of watching the Fast & Furious movies in order? It's difficult, as they're spread across a lot of services — much like James Bond's movies.
If you're looking for a good horror franchise, you can also watch most of the Alien movies in order on Hulu along with the Predator movies online.
