Here’s a useful, at-a-glance review of all Eon Productions James Bond movies in order of release (1962–2021), plus the two “unofficial” films.

The Golden Age of the 90s: The Brosnan polish (1995–2002)

GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, Die Another Day

After a six-year hiatus, Pierce Brosnan saved the franchise. GoldenEye is the perfect time capsule of the 90s—tanks chasing cars through Moscow, hackers, and a cynical post-Cold War vibe. Brosnan looked perfect in a tux. However, the films slowly devolved into visual noise. Die Another Day features an invisible car and a tsunami-surfing sequence that effectively killed the "classic" style of Bond movies.

The Verdict: Brosnan was a great Bond stuck in increasingly terrible movies. GoldenEye is top-tier; the rest are varying degrees of guilty pleasures.

The Daniel Craig Era (2006–2021)

A gritty reboot with serialized storytelling and raw emotional stakes. 21. Casino Royale (2006) 22. Quantum of Solace (2008) 23. Skyfall (2012) 24. Spectre (2015) 25. No Time to Die (2021)

The Timothy Dalton Era (1987–1989)

A return to a darker, more grounded, and fiercer Bond. 15. The Living Daylights (1987) 16. Licence to Kill (1989)

2. The Daniel Craig Reboot Order (New Fans)

You can start directly with Casino Royale (2006) and watch through No Time to Die. Craig’s films are a complete, modern, serialized story with a beginning, middle, and end. No prior knowledge needed.
