Not sure about other apps like HBO Max but on HBO Go I saw yesterday they have added all James Bond movies.
I must admit I have never seen the old ones, just 2-3 movies with Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig, so this is really cool that I can catchup.
I finished the first one, Dr. No from 1962 and other than amateurish look by today standards I enjoyed it. I will probably watch them all :)

you have to at least watch all the Connery ones. it's cool how it builds up. by the time there is an army of ninjas infiltrating the volcano base in You Only Live Twice, imo that is peak og James Bond.

alot of early Bond is him sneaking around compounds, which is really fun, in a Metal Gear Solid way almost. all the Austin Powers tropes come from the Connery era Bond movies.

Roger Moore era is much sillier, and by the 70's it was very cartoony. i like Moonraker, which culminates in a laser gun battle in space, and features the famous villain Jaws, and his Harley Quinn-like girlfriend.

Plus you will get to contribute to the Mandela effect discussion of whether she did or didn't have braces to match :p

I should really give all of these a watch again. Always wanted to own one of those full DVD (now BD) sets that featured all of them up to the Brosnan era but never managed to find any good deal on those.

My favourite theme songs:

Oooo. I'll have to do a marathon. I've seen all of them at some point but I've only seen the Pierce brosnan and Craig films more than once.

Gotta go with The Spy Who Loved Me for favourite movie

"You Only Live Twice" is probably my fave song, pretty low key but it's chill and I like the lyrics

Spectre was the most disappointing movie of my life. I've never been so hyped for something only to be let down so hard...That's why I'm really tempering my expectations for No Time To Die. If it's continuing that story line then I'm concerned.

At least No Time to Die has a chance at being legendary crap. Spectre was just so extremely mediocre and bland. It was like a dead serious Roger Moore film with none of the high and lows that made those movies memorable for better or for worse.

Spectre actually does have the honor of the best 5 minute opening to a Bond movie ever IMO. That intro where he is walking through the parade and the camera never cuts away. It was a tremendous bit of film making. Everything after the first camera cut was dull.

I checked out at the Helicopter fight scene when he tried to kill the pilot BEFORE killing the other guy 😂 The pilot is the LAST guy you kill lol

Just to wrap this up. Bold are the genuinely great Bonds; italic is the mediocre or mixed bag Bond; plain text descends from the distinctly dodgy to the downright dismal (the bottom two specifically in a rubbishness league of their own).

I don't know I'm kind of over the whole one-take thing but yeah it was all down hill from there.

If I were to put the whole series into tiers:
(not in order)

Tier 1: Great
Dr. No
From Russia With Love
Goldfinger
Thunderball
For Your Eyes Only
The Living Daylights
Goldeneye
Tomorrow Never Dies
Casino Royale

Tier 2: Various levels of flawed
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Moonraker
Live and Let Die
The Man With the Golden Gun
The Spy Who Loved Me
Licence to Kill
The World is Not Enough

Tier 3: Awful but somewhat watchable
You Only Live Twice
A View to a Kill
Die Another Day
Skyfall

Tier 4: Melt it with a laser
Diamonds are Forever
Octopussy
Quantum of Solace
Spectre
