Roger Moore, the longest-serving James Bond ever, died today, his family announced. He was 89.
Known for his charm and wit, Moore played the famous secret agent in seven films across 12 years, from 1973 to 1985. Moore’s Bond films added some much-needed humor to the series, which grew more absurd and delightfully campy during his tenure (Moore remains the only Bond to go to outer space). The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) is often ranked as one of the franchise’s best.
Moore was 58 when he finally retired from the role. In 1991, he became a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, and in 2003, he was knighted for his humanitarian work by Queen Elizabeth II.
Here’s how to watch all seven of Roger Moore’s James Bond films, from Live and Let Die (1973) to A View to a Kill (1985), along with brief plot descriptions excerpted from Rotten Tomatoes:
Live and Let Die (1973)

The Man With the Golden Gun (1974)
Plot: “…whisks our hero off to Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand, and then the South China Sea in search of a solar energy weapon. His opponent is Scaramanga (Christopher Lee), who rules the roost on a well-fortified island.”
The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Plot: “The leading lady is sexy Russian secret agent Barbara Bach, who joins forces with Bond to foil yet another megalomaniacal villain, who plans to threaten New York City with nuclear weaponry.”

Octopussy (1983)

A View to a Kill (1985)
Plot: “The story kicks into gear when arch-fiend Max Zorin (Christopher Walken), a mad, power-crazed industrialist, attempts to corner the market on computer chips by doing it the old-fashioned way—i.e. destroying Silicon Valley with a well-placed earthquake. Bond is sent out to stop him.”
