Holy crap, my fellow Bond fanatics - I've got news that's shaken (not stirred) my entire summer plans. Remember when we used to have to hunt down those DVD box sets or pray our favorite 007 flick would randomly appear on ITV on a Sunday afternoon? Those days are officially OVER.

MGM+ just announced they're dropping literally EVERY Bond film on June 1st. That's right - all 25 of 'em. From Connery's suave Dr. No all the way to Craig's emotional farewell in No Time to Die.

From 1962 to Now: Six Decades of Martinis and Mayhem

I still remember my dad showing me Dr. No when I was 12 (probably too young, but whatever). That iconic beach scene with Ursula Andress? Burned into my brain forever. Now I can relive that moment alongside nearly 60 YEARS of Bond evolution.

The collection spans everything - the Cold War classics, those wonderfully campy Roger Moore years, and teh grittier modern era that gave us Casino Royale (still my personal favorite, don't @ me).

Wait... Another Streaming Service?!

Look, I get it. Your wallet is already crying from subscription fatigue. Mine too.

MGM+ isn't exactly Netflix-level famous, but they're making serious moves lately. The catch? You'll need to shell out £5.99 monthly as an add-on to your existing Prime Video subscription.

So let's do the math... If you're already paying £8.99 for regular Prime, you're looking at nearly £15 monthly all-in. Not cheap. But for access to every single Bond film? I've spent more on a single cinema ticket and popcorn in Leicester Square.

That Time I Tried to Watch All Bond Films in One Weekend

Back in 2018, I attempted a Bond marathon with my flatmates. We made it through 7 films before everyone passed out from martini overconsumption. Poor Dave woke up convinced he was Blofeld and spent the morning petting an imaginary cat.

With this collection, I'm tempted to try again... but maybe spread over a month this time.

You get a 7-day free trial as a new subscriber, which technically means you could binge all 25 films without paying a penny. That's about 3.5 films daily. Doable? Maybe. Advisable? Probably not.

The Complete List (And Yes, Even the Controversial Ones)

Every single Bond film will be available - from the absolute classics like Goldfinger to the ones we pretend don't exist (I'm looking at you, Die Another Day). Here's what you'll get:

• Dr. No • From Russia with Love • Goldfinger • Thunderball • You Only Live Twice • On Her Majesty's Secret Service • Diamonds Are Forever • Live and Let Die • The Man with the Golden Gun • The Spy Who Loved Me • Moonraker • For Your Eyes Only • Octopussy • A View to Kill • The Living Daylights • Licence to Kill • GoldenEye • Tomorrow Never Dies • The World Is Not Enough • Die Another Day • Casino Royale • Quantum of Solace • Skyfall • Spectre • No Time to Die

Is It Worth Your £11.98?

That depends.

Are you the type who can quote every Bond one-liner? Do you have strong opinions about which actor was the best 007? (It's Connery. Or maybe Craig. God, I can't decide.) Will you actually watch more than one or two films before forgetting about your subscription?

For me, having instant access to Skyfall alone is worth it. That scene with Judi Dench quoting Tennyson gets me every single time. "Though much is taken, much abides..."

The collection will be available across 32 countries, including the UK, but only for a limited time. MGM+ hasn't specified exactly how long "limited" means, so I wouldn't wait around if you're interested.

Remember When These Were All on ITV?

I spent countless Boxing Days watching whatever Bond film ITV decided to air while recovering from Christmas dinner. Now they're all moving to streaming services where we have to actually pay for them. Progress? I'm not convinced.

But adn least we now have the option to watch them whenever we want, without waiting for TV schedulers to decide it's time for some 007 action.

June 1st, people. Mark your calendars. I'll be the one ignoring all social obligations for a solid month.
