In our ongoing series, Ranked, we examine movies, actors, and genres (whatever we can think of) and rank them from worst to first. Rather than just taking matters into our own hands, however, we ask you — The Streamable community — to help us really get things right. Last time, we worked through the extensive list of Pixar movies, and for this round, we’re looking at one of the most famous characters in movie history, James Bond.

The James Bond film series began in 1962 with “Dr. No”, introducing film audiences to the suave British spy created by author Ian Fleming. Portrayed by Sean Connery, Bond quickly became a pop culture icon, blending espionage with exotic locations, high-tech gadgets, and a signature charm. The early films, including “From Russia with Love” and “Goldfinger”, set the tone for the franchise’s unique mix of action, style, and intrigue. Over the decades, the role of Bond passed to actors like George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig, each bringing his own interpretation to the character while reflecting the era’s tastes and global tensions.

The franchise has maintained cultural relevance by adapting to modern sensibilities while honoring its iconic legacy — with sleek cars, memorable villains, and the enduring 007 theme. With over two dozen films, James Bond remains one of the longest-running and most successful film franchises in history.
