Netflix has opened the vault for American subscribers by adding every James Bond film ever made to its streaming library. From the birth of 007 in the early sixties to Daniel Craig’s explosive farewell, all twenty five official Bond adventures are now available in one place.
Based on the novels by Ian Fleming, the legendary British spy has been portrayed by Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig, and even David Niven in a non canonical outing. Each era brought its own tone, style, and definition of what James Bond should be.
