James Bond fans have been starved of their favorite spy for some time after the 25th Bond movie, No Time To Die, was delayed numerous times due to the coronavirus pandemic. In recent days, however, filmmakers have been teasing fans with new trailers to whet their appetite ahead of its release.
No Time To Die will finally arrive in movie theaters on October 8, 2021, more than 18 months after its first scheduled release.
In the meantime, fans may wish to catch up on Bond's antics over the previous decades, given there are 24 canon movies that take place before No Time To Die.
We break down how you can watch every Bond movie from Sean Connery's 1962 film Dr. No to Daniel Craig's most recent outing in Spectre in 2015.
Are James Bond Movies Available to Stream?
At the moment, 21 movies from the Bond canon are available to stream online as part of a subscription service.
Some of the most recent ones are sadly unavailable, though it is possible to rent them.
The main carrier of the Bond franchise at present is Pluto TV, which has 19 of the movies on its platform.
Outside of this, Hulu currently carries 2012 movie Skyfall, while 2015's Spectre can be found on Fubo TV.
Here is the list of Bond movies available on Pluto TV:
Dr. No (1962)
From Russia with Love (1963)
Goldfinger (1964)
Thunderball (1965)
You Only Live Twice (1967)
On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)
Diamonds Are Forever (1971)
Live and Let Die (1973)
The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Moonraker (1979)
Octopussy (1983)
A View to a Kill (1985)
The Living Daylights (1987)
License to Kill (1989)
Goldeneye (1995)
Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
The World Is Not Enough (1999)
Die Another Day (2002)
Those that are missing from this list are For Your Eyes Only, the 1981 movie starring Roger Moore in the main role, as well as Daniel Craig's first two films from his time as James Bond: Casino Royale (2006) and Quantum of Solace (2008).
All of these are available to at least rent or buy from services such as Google Play, iTunes or Amazon Prime.
Recently, it was revealed that Amazon had bought the movie studio MGM, which produces the Bond franchise.
As a result, it's expected these movies will eventually come to Amazon Prime, though at present that's not the case.
When the decision was revealed back in May 2021, the team at Eon that produces Bond films was firm that any upcoming movies would continue to be released on the big screen.
Barbara Broccoli said in a statement from Eon: "We are committed to continuing to make James Bond films for the worldwide theatrical audience."
However, the new deal does mean these films will be able to go to Amazon after a theatrical release. Eon remains in control of much of the direction of the franchise.
No Time To Die comes out on October 8, 2021.
