1964: Actor Sean Connery poses as James Bond next to his Aston Martin DB5 in a scene from Goldfinger.
Few film franchises have the historical magnitude in cinema of James Bond. Based on the novels by Ian Fleming, the beloved and successful movies have spanned decades, actors and cultural significance since launching in 1962 with Sean Connery as Agent 007 in Dr. No. Twenty five movies have been made since then.
The good news is all the films— for now— are in one place. As part of the franchise’s 60th anniversary celebration, all 25 James Bond films are available to stream on Prime Video. You’ll even find a documentary about six decades of James Bond music on there (The Sound of 007).
Whether you’re looking to catch up on all the movies before the next James Bond casting announcement or you need to finish your run with Daniel Craig, see below for each James Bond actor’s movie lineup over the years.
Sir Sean Connery originated the movie-adapted role with Dr. No in 1962 and established the James Bond films as a worldwide phenomenon. He went on to star in six official films.
1962- Dr. No

1964- Goldfinger
1965- Thunderball

The Australian actor embodied Agent 007 for just one film. In fact, it was just his second ever film role and he later was nominated for New Star of the Year at the Golden Globes in 1970.
