If you're a 007 fan looking to watch James Bond movies in order, we have good news. A whole dozen James Bond movies are now on HBO Max, and all the details are below in our guide on where you can find the James Bond films on streaming services. And a TON of them just landed on Paramount Plus.

The James Bond movie franchise has been going strong since 1962, with the release of Dr. No. The legacy continued most recently in No Time to Die, which featured Daniel Craig as the secret agent for the final time. It's one of the few modern Bonds on a streaming service, unfortunately.

The James Bond movies are based on Ian Fleming's novels and short stories, first published in 1953. There are 27 films in total, 25 of which were produced by Eon Productions. Eon, founded by producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, now own the rights to all of Fleming's novels. 

Over the course of the Bond franchise, six actors have portrayed the dashing, debonaire agent: Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig. (A seventh, David Niven, played Bond in the non-Eon version of Casino Royale.) And with Craig's run ending, we've already been pondering who could replace him as the next James Bond.

The Bond movies have attracted a fervent fanbase and the franchise has become one of the most iconic in Hollywood history.
