James Bond movies in order and where to watch the 007 franchise
10. The Man with the Golden Gun
Synopsis: Cool government operative James Bond (Roger Moore) searches for a stolen invention that can turn the sun's heat into a destructive weapon. He soon crosses paths with the menacing Francisco Scaramanga (Christopher Lee), a hit man so skilled he has a seven-figure working fee. Bond then joins forces with the swimsuit-clad Mary Goodnight (Britt Ekland), and together they track Scaramanga to a tropical isle hideout where the killer-for-hire lures the slick spy into a deadly maze for a final duel.
While Casino Royale (1967) had a negative critical reception when it was first released, The Man with the Golden Gun is the first ever "official" James Bond movie to not find as much success as its predecessors. The movie, which was released back on December 20, 1974, premiered to mixed reception and it was the last 007 adventure directed by Guy Hamilton.

11. The Spy Who Loved Me
Synopsis: In a globe-trotting assignment that has him skiing off the edges of cliffs and driving a car deep underwater, British super-spy James Bond (Roger Moore) unites with sexy Russian agent Anya Amasova (Barbara Bach) to defeat megalomaniac shipping magnate Karl Stromberg (Curt Jurgens), who is threatening to destroy New York City with nuclear weapons. Bond's most deadly adversary on the case is Stromberg's henchman, Jaws (Richard Kiel), a seven-foot giant with terrifying steel teeth.
After a little bit of a misstep with The Man With the Golden Gun, the James Bond franchise was back in full swing thanks to The Spy Who Loved Me. The movie was released to mostly positive reviews, and it saw the return of Roger Moore as Agent 007. It was the second Bond film directed by Lewis Gilbert (out of three) and the world first got to watch it back on July 13, 1977.
