📋 Watchlist Preview
Start with these two streaming gems that channel Bond’s charm, action, and espionage vibes — and feature actors who’ve either been rumored for the role or deserve to be:
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015)

Charlize Theron proves spy stories don’t have to be told the same way. Brutal fights, killer fashion, and Cold War tension that would make Bond sweat.
📅 On This Day in Film
On June 26, 1979, Moonraker premiered in the U.S., launching James Bond into space during peak sci-fi mania. It's one of the most over-the-top entries in the series — complete with laser guns and a villain in orbit. But that wild reinvention reminds us: Bond is always evolving. The next version doesn’t have to play it safe. It just has to play it smart.
