On October 5, 1962, James Bond was finally unveiled to the world with his first appearance in film that was known as Dr. No. In the years since that first release, Bond would appear in more than 20 films including a non-series film and a parody in the span of the next years. In late October of this year, Bond will finally return with the 23rd official Bond film in Skyfall as it is among one of the most anticipated films of the year.
This marathon would explore every James Bond film from Dr. No to the upcoming Skyfall as well as non-EON Bond films like Never Say Never Again and the 1967 parody of Casino Royale. The marathon will also include a couple of documentaries relating to Bond and will start with the original 1954 TV episode of Climax! that featured James Bond presented for the first time on TV. This marathon will explore Bond's evolution from this episode to the Daniel Craig's current portrayal of Agent 007 in chronological order.

I look forward to this. I've seen all but the TV episode and the docs.
The only reason I decided to include the docs and the original Casino Royale TV episode was to make the marathon stand out a bit more since I feel it all relates to Bond. I saw the original Casino Royale episode on TV back in January when I was supposed to start the marathon back then but certain things ruined it forcing me to re-think and re-plan everything.
Dude this is awesome, can't wait to see what you think of all of them. I really hope Skyfall is several steps above Quantum.
@Alex-So far, I've done 2 films for the marathon though some of these (notably the Moore to Craig) era are going to be re-watches.
I just want to do a proper job on all of these films and then see Skyfall.
