James Bond Films, All 25 Eon Movies: Year, Actor, Villain and Director

Rough Cut Review built this explorer around one narrow scope: the 25 films made by Eon Productions, from Dr. No in 1962 to No Time to Die in 2021. Two other films carry the James Bond name and stay out of the table on purpose. Casino Royale (1967) and Never Say Never Again (1983) were made outside Eon, and mixing them in would blur the one number the table exists to protect. "How many Bond films are there" has a clean answer only when a single producer draws the boundary. The 1967 Casino Royale and the 2006 Eon film of the same title are easy to confuse, so note that only the 2006 film appears below, in the Daniel Craig rows.

Reading the columns takes a few seconds. Year is the year of the film's first release. Film is the title as released. Bond is the actor in the lead role, Villain is the single antagonist the plot is built around, and Director is the credited director. Where a film has a henchman or a secondary threat, the table names the main villain only. The rows run oldest first, and each column header re-sorts the table, so a click on Bond groups the six eras together and a click on Director shows who returned most often. John Glen directed five films in a row from For Your Eyes Only (1981) to Licence to Kill (1989), the longest unbroken run in the table. Ernst Stavro Blofeld is the only villain who appears more than once, in four films across 1967 to 2015. Sorting by Villain puts those four rows side by side, and the gap between the first three and Spectre in 2015 is easy to see.

The film list follows the Eon Productions release list, as of October 23, 2026, and the directors were checked against Wikipedia's List of James Bond films. Villains are the character names as they appear in the films, and actors are listed under the name used in the credits. Each film carries one release year. The table does not rank the films or score them; for opinion, the franchise guide and the villain ranking linked at the bottom of the page carry the editorial judgment, and this page sticks to the record. Readers who want a quick answer can skim the FAQ first and return to the table for the detail. A new Eon release adds a row and changes the counts on this page, and the FAQ below is written from the table itself, so every answer can be checked by sorting the columns above. If a cell ever disagrees with the film, the film wins and the table is corrected.
