The James Bond Catalogue Is Coming To Amazon Prime This April

- Start date
Note: For a "limited time"
The constantly rotating streaming rights for Bond movies is really annoying, especially when the films are often split up across multiple platforms. But nice they'll be all be in one place. Though give me a break with "for a limited", come on, Amazon owns this IP now!
Yeah so not really a surprise that its happening.
Also means I can finally watch the new one.
Hnng tempting for a marathon, but I want to wait until a 60th anniversary movie collection releases
Why for a limited time? This doesn't make sense.
Anyways, I will finally watch the latest movie.

Losing that Pluto channel was a shame, it was nice to just put on in the background. My dog would get weirdly calm and just chill out on the couch watching them lol
Your dog was a russian spy and realized bond could never catch him through the tv
I believe the deal is yet to be finalised but I could be wrong.
Love Die Another Day.
The transition from London Calling by The Clash into the villain theme as he parachutes into London is top notch mixing.
Even though Amazon bought MGM there was likely already existing licensing deals on place for the Bomd films they need to honor.
It does make sense when you realize pre-existing contacts for streaming are a thing, so legally they can only keep it there for a short time before sending it off to the people who paid money for exclusivity.
Hopefully when all of the Amazon/MGM stuff goes through, the franchise will be there permanently. I hate trying to figure out which streaming service the Bond movies are currently on, if any, every other month.
Those new 4K transfers look nice. It's definitely worth revisiting the classics to anyone who hasn't seen the new transfers.
I watched Connery's films plus On Her Majesty's when they were up on Prime to promote one of No Time to Die's canceled release dates. I had a blast.
I think I'll try to watch through the Moore films on this run.

MGM don't fully own the distribution rights for the Bond titles, it is incorrect to assume they will always be there even once the deal goes through.
One of the reasons it's such a funny purchase is because MGM has full distribution control of an amazingly small amount of stuff.

It is through already. But it's going to take years to fullfill any contract MGM previously made with other services and cable channels.
Look how long it's taking for Disney to finish every contract Fox made. They finished in 2019 and they still have awhile to go.
Is the big question, they all are on itunes but not prime for some reason even for purchases. Hopefully that changes..
I'm pretty sure I marathoned them on Prime in March 2020 but that might have been missing a couple of the films.
Still, good news.

For a limited time? What, is Bizarro Amazon going to put it on a different service? They own it!
They have offered select Bond films previously in 4K on prime.
These 4K scans are still from the Blu-ray release. They've not done a UHD pass with HDR yet. Also with MGM now under the Amazon banner don't expect a UHD release.

No, Amazon only takes over MGM's share of co-owning them with the Broccoli's
A kindred soul
Oh man the 007 channel on Pluto was the best. Even if own all the movies. Just nice to flip through and find another Bond movie on
Months before No Time To Die came out, Sky had them all for a limited time. I never watched most of the films prior to the Brosnan era, so I started a watch through from the beginning, but then stopped because of having not enough time and letting Sky sub expire.
Even if limited this is still great news, now I can continue.

I think it's one of the stronger Bond movies overall. Kind of underrated.
