2022 marks the 60th anniversary of Bond, James Bond, and with all the films recently coming to Prime Video as part of Amazon’s $8.5 billion acquisition of MGM earlier this year, I thought it was about time I watched them all again in order and see how I feel about each film. Since June 2020, Graham Stark and Matt Wiggins from LoadingReadyRun have been producing a fascinating podcast called From Rewatch with Love that I have been listening to regularly. These podcasts will help me during this rewatch to set out the films for you; they are fascinating, so go and give them a listen.
This post will include an in-depth summary and my opinions of each of the 25 moves of the James Bond film franchise from Dr. No to No Time To Die. I won’t include the none-EON Productions films Casino Royale (1967) or Never Say Never Again (1983). I will feature the rankings given by Graham and Matt in the podcast From Rewatch with Love.
The first film I ever remember watching was Goldfinger, it has been my favourite film of the franchise ever since, so we’ll see what ranking it comes out with in the end. I have seen some of the films multiple times, some only parts of them, and some I’ve never got around to viewing. As a massive Bond fan, I hope this will help me to watch the ones I’ve missed, rank the films more fairly, and maybe find a new favourite. I may even change my mind on some of the others I didn’t rate too highly in cinemas.
This will happen over time, and my rankings will change as I watch more films. I will include the final rankings on each post, in addition to a spreadsheet showing their changes over time. I’m also including rankings from a video posted on January 7th 2024 by Calvin Dyson, a James Bond YouTuber, I’m a big fan of his videos and he has some interesting thoughts and different rankings (His ranking also includes Casino Royale, 1967, and Never Say Never Again, 1983, which mine don’t) on the movies. He also has in-depth videos on the books, video games and more, so please check out his channel.
I’d love to see your rankings, send them to me on X/Twitter or Bluesky.
