I have just finished watching in order all 24 of the James Bond 007 films in preparation for the 25th Bond film (aka “Bond 25”), No Time to Die, which is scheduled to open in theaters in November 2020. (Correction: No Time to Die has been moved to an April 2021 release date. #covid19sucks) It’s been a total blast and just the escape that was needed during COVID-19.
Here’s my ranking of the 24 films, starting with the bottom (and courtesy of my Instagram feed).
