The 25 films in the James Bond series, from Dr. No in 1962 to No Time to Die in 2021, stream with a Prime membership in the US and the UK.
That is what Prime Video’s own pages for every film said on Oct. 22, 2026, read one country at a time. They also offer each film to rent or buy.
We suggest release order. In our view most of the films work on their own, so starting with any actor’s first film is fine too. The five Daniel Craig films are the exception: we would watch those in order.
Amazon MGM Studios, which took creative control of Bond in 2025, has not named the next 007. It said Denis Villeneuve is directing the next film, from a script by Steven Knight.
The short answer
Starting from scratch: Dr. No, then on through the years. Wanting a newer way in: Casino Royale, Daniel Craig’s first film and the story of how Bond gets his double-0 status.
Coming back to the series: pick an actor, since each section below is one Bond’s run, in order.
Pressed for time: our cut list further down has eight films, at least one for every actor.
The films, actor by actor
Sean Connery and George Lazenby, 1962 to 1971
- Dr. No (1962). The first Bond film: Sean Connery’s 007 is sent to the Caribbean. Start here.
- From Russia with Love (1963). A Cold War trap set for Bond by SPECTRE, with Robert Shaw and Lotte Lenya. The most grounded spy story of the Connery run, in our view.
- Goldfinger (1964). Bond looks into a villain who is stockpiling gold, with Honor Blackman in the cast. If you watch one Connery film, we would make it this one.
- Thunderball (1965). Bond goes to the Bahamas after two nuclear missiles stolen by SPECTRE. One to drop if the list is too long, we think.
- You Only Live Twice (1967). Bond in Japan, looking for missing American and Russian spacecraft, with Donald Pleasence as Blofeld.
- On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969). George Lazenby’s only film as Bond, in the Swiss Alps, with Diana Rigg, and Telly Savalas as Blofeld. Do not skip it.
- Diamonds Are Forever (1971). Connery comes back for a case of stolen diamonds, with Charles Gray as Blofeld. His last film in the series.
Roger Moore, 1973 to 1985
- Live and Let Die (1973). Roger Moore’s first film as Bond, with Yaphet Kotto as Kananga.
- The Man with the Golden Gun (1974). Bond becomes the target of a professional assassin, with Christopher Lee in the cast. Safe to skip, in our view.
- The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). Bond works with the Soviet agent Anya Amasova on a case of missing submarines, and Jaws, the steel-toothed henchman, gets in the way. Our pick of the Moore films.
- Moonraker (1979). Bond investigates a missing space shuttle, with Lois Chiles and Michael Lonsdale. The most far-fetched of the 25, in our view.
- For Your Eyes Only (1981). A race with the Russians for a missing communications device, through the Greek underworld. A more down-to-earth Moore film, in our view.
- Octopussy (1983). Bond is drawn to an Indian palace, with Maud Adams in the title role and Louis Jourdan as Kamal Khan.
- A View to a Kill (1985). Moore’s seventh and last film as Bond, against Christopher Walken as an industrialist after the world’s microchip supply, with stops in Paris and San Francisco.
Timothy Dalton, 1987 and 1989
- The Living Daylights (1987). Timothy Dalton’s first film as Bond, against a ring of arms dealers. Our pick of his two.
- Licence to Kill (1989). Bond leaves MI6 to go after a drug lord who attacked his friend Felix Leiter. The darkest of the older films, in our view.
Pierce Brosnan, 1995 to 2002
- GoldenEye (1995). Pierce Brosnan’s first film as Bond, after a stolen helicopter and a space weapon called GoldenEye. Our pick of his four.
- Tomorrow Never Dies (1997). Jonathan Pryce plays a media tycoon who wants ratings at any cost, with Michelle Yeoh in the cast.
- The World Is Not Enough (1999). Bond guards an oil heiress, played by Sophie Marceau, after a deadly incident at MI6.
- Die Another Day (2002). Brosnan’s last film as Bond, with Halle Berry and a weapon in space.
Daniel Craig, 2006 to 2021
- Casino Royale (2006). Daniel Craig’s first film, based on Ian Fleming’s first Bond novel, with Eva Green and Mads Mikkelsen. Our pick for anyone starting with the newer films.
- Quantum of Solace (2008). Daniel Craig’s second film, with Olga Kurylenko and Mathieu Amalric. Watch it straight after Casino Royale.
- Skyfall (2012). MI6 comes under attack and M’s past catches up with her, with Javier Bardem in the cast. Our pick of the Craig films.
- Spectre (2015). A message from Bond’s past puts him on the trail of a secret organization, with Christoph Waltz and Léa Seydoux in the cast.
- No Time to Die (2021). Bond has left active service when Felix Leiter asks for help. It was Daniel Craig’s last film as Bond, Amazon MGM Studios said.
If you are short on time
Eight films, in release order, with at least one for every actor:
- From Russia with Love, for Connery as a spy.
- Goldfinger, our pick if you watch one Connery film.
- On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, for George Lazenby’s only turn.
- The Spy Who Loved Me, for Roger Moore.
- The Living Daylights, for Timothy Dalton.
- GoldenEye, for Pierce Brosnan.
- Casino Royale, for the start of Daniel Craig’s story.
- Skyfall, our pick of the later Craig films.
