I’ve Never Watched One Single James Bond Film. Where Should I Start?

I saw on the news this morning that Amazon Prime Video will be streaming all of the James Bond movies starting October 5, 2022. This is very exciting for 007 fans, I presume, because never before have these films appeared in one place other than your dusty DVD rack.

007 Concert

In other news, Amazon will be live-streaming a concert film called The Sound of 007: LIVE from the Royal Albert Hall, which is a concert featuring vocalists (Dame Shirley Bassey, Lulu, Chrissie Hynde, and Garbage) and five-time Bond composer David Arnold., who will perform iconic 007 songs.

Your Favorite Bonds

Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig are all there for your viewing pleasure.

I've Never Seen One James Bond Movie

This may sound sacreligious to some.  Perhaps even unAmerican.  But I've never watched one single James Bond movie in my life.  It's not because I don't believe I'd enjoy it because they look like a blast.

But the bigger question, with such a large franchise...where do I start?

Hopefully people can tell me the correct place to begin my 007 journey before I fire up my Amazon Prime Video account and binge all weekend.
