Twenty-five official films, six actors, and one reboot that starts the whole career over two thirds of the way in.
Twenty-five official films that mostly stand alone, and then five at the end that do not. The mistake newcomers make is starting at the beginning and running into a hard reboot two thirds of the way through with no warning.
Seen some of these already? Tap the circles to tick them off. The full list below fills in as you go.
Bond earning the 00 on screen, which makes it the only film in the series that is genuinely a beginning. It is also the best-reviewed of the modern run and needs nothing before it.
The one Bond film that is a direct sequel, opening about an hour after the last one ends. It is the only entry in twenty-five films that cannot be watched on its own.
The film that set the template every later Bond is measured against, and the usual recommendation for a first look at the older run. The first twenty films can be watched in almost any order.
Where it starts, and much smaller and stranger than the series became. Worth seeing after Goldfinger so you can watch the formula arrive.
Then what? After that, the first twenty in release order, which is the way most people do it. Three of them are linked: the ending of On Her Majesty's Secret Service is picked up at the start of Diamonds Are Forever and again at the start of For Your Eyes Only. Then finish the Craig run with Skyfall, Spectre and No Time to Die. The two films Eon did not make are curiosities and can be skipped entirely.
A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.
Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.
The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.
Every franchise you have touched, in one code.
Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.
This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.
Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.
Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
Your email is confirmed and your account is ready. Everything you tick is saved on this device, as it always was.

Your SagaList account.
Nothing else happens until you follow the link. If it has not arrived in a few minutes, look in your spam folder and search for SagaList. It is sent from a no-reply address on our own domain, so there is nothing to reply to.
Both addresses get an email: the new one to confirm it, and the old one so that nobody can move your account without you knowing. Nothing changes until you follow the link.
Signing out leaves everything you have ticked on this device exactly where it is. It only stops it syncing.
This removes your account, your email address, and the progress stored on our side. It cannot be undone and we cannot get it back for you.
This stops your subscription too. It is cancelled at Stripe in the same step, so nothing more is charged. The rest of this month is not refunded and you will not be able to use it, so cancel from Manage or cancel and delete later if you would rather keep it.
