Live and Let Die (1973)

Roger Moore's first Bond film is full of voodoo, crocodiles, and one of the most memorable Bond girls: Jane Seymour plays the mysterious Solitaire. This film takes a fresh direction after Sean Connery and George Lazenby, offering a lighter tone and a visually distinct atmosphere. MI6 sends Bond to New York, New Orleans, and San Monique—a made-up Caribbean island—to look into the deaths of three British agents. In this scene, he runs into Dr. Kananga, also known as Mr. Big (played by Yaphet Kotto), and the unforgettable Sheriff J.W. Pepper (played by Clifton James). From the beginning, Moore shows he's a different kind of Bond, witty but also deadly.

The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)

This is the second film in Moore's Bond series, and it features one of the most iconic villains: Francisco Scaramanga, played by Christopher Lee, is a pretty interesting character. Scaramanga is an assassin with a golden gun, and he adds a thrilling mix of kung fu, energy science, and a hilariously awkward Bond girl, Mary Goodnight (Britt Ekland). The film really highlights Bond's humor and shows off Moore's confident style. Scaramanga's island hideout is pure Bond architecture, and Sheriff Pepper makes a return, this time on vacation in Thailand. Get ready for some chaos!

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)

The magic of the Roger Moore era truly begins here. A lot of people think this is his best Bond film. Bond teams up with Soviet agent Anya Amasova (Barbara Bach), who's just as skilled and clever as he is. They team up to foil a scheme to start a nuclear war. It's all tied to an underwater base called Atlantis, which is owned by the shady Stromberg. This film introduces the unstoppable assassin Jaws (Richard Kiel) and the legendary Lotus Esprit that transforms into a submarine. With Cold War tension, exotic locations like Egypt and Sardinia, and a theme song that'll be stuck in your head for weeks, this is the best of Bond.

Moonraker (1979)

After the success of Star Wars, Bond goes into space. Moonraker might be the most over-the-top film in the series, but that's exactly why it's a must-see for your marathon. Bond investigates the disappearance of a space shuttle built by Drax Industries, leading to an adventure from Venice to the Amazon rainforest and ultimately a space station. Holly Goodhead, played by Lois Chiles, is the Bond girl and CIA agent, and Jaws returns with an unexpected twist. The gondola chase in Venice is pure camp, and the sets are extravagantly next-level. Whether you love it or hate it, this film is the ultimate guilty pleasure of the Moore years.

For Your Eyes Only (1981)

After the space escapades of Moonraker, Bond returns to basics in For Your Eyes Only. It's just old-school Cold War espionage, no lasers or space stations. This film feels like a reboot: more realistic, subdued, and with a greater focus on human relationships. Bond teams up with Melina Havelock (Carole Bouquet), who's out for revenge, to get a key MI6 communication system before the bad guys get their hands on it. The ski chase in the Alps is legendary, and John Glen, making his directorial debut, brings a more muscular, action-oriented style. If you're into classic espionage thrillers with a Bond twist, you'll love this film.

Octopussy (1983)

This film has it all: a circus, a jewel smuggling network, a nuclear bomb, a palace of female warriors, and Maud Adams as the mysterious Octopussy. Bond is sent to India to stop a Soviet general named Orlov, who's been messing up his operation. The film masterfully balances action, humor, and suspense, with Moore's performance being surprisingly energetic at 55. Keep an eye out for the subtle SPECTRE references, Patrick Macnee's cameo as Bond's assistant Tibbet, and the vibrant sets that'll make you feel like you're in some far-flung exotic place. This is pure 80s Bond glamour, full of style and without restraint.

A View to a Kill (1985)

Moore's final bow as 007 is a memorable one. A View to a Kill might just be the most underrated Bond film of his era. While Moore is clearly older, he still has that same charm. He's up against Max Zorin (Christopher Walken), a tech billionaire who's a bit out there and is trying to destroy Silicon Valley to monopolize microchips. Grace Jones totally steals the show as May Day, one of the most unique and physical Bond villains. The chase on the Eiffel Tower? Iconic. The showdown on the Golden Gate Bridge? It's spectacular. And what about Duran Duran's theme song? It was a huge hit. This was the perfect ending to the exciting Bond era.

Roger Moore's time as James Bond was full of variety, from the voodoo in Live and Let Die to the high-tech action in A View to a Kill. While not all films are created equal, they're all a joy to binge-watch. They capture an era when Bond dared to experiment, push boundaries, and occasionally make glorious mistakes. They're fun, stylish, and perfect for a night (or weekend) filled with espionage, gadgets, and that unmistakable 007 swagger.

So, whether you're planning your first Bond marathon or just in the mood for a nostalgic dive into the '70s and '80s, this is the order to follow. Martini ready? Play.
