Netflix now has virtually every Bond film

Your next Netflix $NFLX binge could be bad for your liver.

The streaming service has added 26 of the 27 James Bond films to its catalog. That's a lot of shaken (not stirred) martinis to consume as you watch.

Pretty much any Bond film you'd want to watch is on Netflix now, from the Sean Connery classics to the Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton era to the most recent Daniel Craig films. Whether it's Dr. No, Moonraker, Goldfinger, or No Time To Die, it's there. If you want to catch 1967’s Casino Royale, which starred David Niven as Bond and was more of a parody of spy films, you're out of luck, though.

It's rare enough that the (almost) complete Bond collection is on a single streaming service, but it's especially curious that Netflix is the one to land them. The Bond franchise, after all, is owned by Amazon $AMZN, which bought the franchise from MGM in 2021 for $8.5 billion and is in the process of developing the next Bond film. Denis Villeneuve, who helmed Dune and Dune: Part Two, is attached to direct the film. The actor who will step into Bond's custom tuxedo has not yet been announced.

Amazon's unusual deal with Netflix — first announced in December — reportedly excludes UK fans. At the time, Deadline said the purpose of the geographically limited deal was to "reengage audiences," according to an unnamed source.

Bond films have been a box office stalwart since 1963 and while some feel they've become a bit outdated or long in the tooth, they are reliable box office draws. The most recent, No Time to Die, released in 2021, when people were more than a little hesitant to sit in a cinema, but still managed an opening weekend that topped $55 million. The film would go on to gross more than $774 million worldwide. That was slightly lower than its predecessor, Spectre, but still a respectable figure, given the pandemic.
