James Bond Movies: Roger Moore Era

1973 - 19857 Films14h 47m3.6 Average

Roger Moore's lighter, more humorous interpretation of James Bond embraced the franchise's campier elements. These films feature increasingly elaborate gadgets, exotic locations, and tongue-in-cheek humor that defined Bond for the 1970s and early 1980s.

Though episodic in nature, Moore's seven films showcase a consistent tone that balanced spectacular action sequences with witty one-liners. The era spans from the blaxploitation-influenced Live and Let Die to the space-age spectacle of Moonraker.
