No franchise will ever come close to toppling the legacy of spy films like James Bond. Created in 1953 by Ian Flemming, the fictional British Secret Service agent laid down the foundation for spy movies for years. The line ‘The name’s Bond, James Bond.’ has gone down in history as one of the most iconic lines in cinema.

With Bond films that span over 6 decades, that’s right, 60 years! It will be hard to keep track of each one of them, but don’t worry we have got you covered. The First Bond Film was released in 1962 and the latest in 2021. The films have won 6 Academy Awards and grossed over $7.8 Billion to date, making it the fifth-highest-grossing film series in nominal terms.
