Cinematically, Bond has been a major influence within the spy genre since the release of ''Dr. No'' in 1962,{{sfn|Smith|Lavington|2002|p=21}} with 22 secret agent films released in 1966 alone attempting to capitalise on the Bond franchise's popularity and success.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Moniot|first=Drew|title=James Bond and America in the Sixties: An Investigation of the Formula Film in Popular Culture|journal=Journal of the University Film Association|date=Summer 1976|volume=28|issue=3|publisher=[[University of Illinois Press]]|jstor=20687331|pages=25–33}}</ref> The first parody was the 1964 film ''[[Carry On Spying]]'', which shows the villain Dr. Crow ([[Judith Furse]]) being overcome by agents who included James Bind ([[Charles Hawtrey (actor born 1914)|Charles Hawtry]]) and Daphne Honeybutt ([[Barbara Windsor]]).<ref>{{cite web|last=Angelini|first=Sergio|title=Carry On Spying (1964)|url=http://www.screenonline.org.uk/film/id/466477/|work=BFI Screenonline|publisher=British Film Institute|access-date=4 November 2011|archive-date=10 October 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111010000556/http://www.screenonline.org.uk/film/id/466477/|url-status=live}}</ref> One of the films that reacted against the portrayal of Bond was the [[Harry Palmer]] series, whose first film, [[The Ipcress File (film)|''The Ipcress File'']], starring [[Michael Caine]], was released in 1965.

Following the release of the film ''Dr. No'' in 1962, the line "Bond&nbsp;... James Bond", became a [[catch phrase]] that entered the [[lexicon]] of Western popular culture: writers [[John Cork]] and Bruce Scivally said of the introduction in ''Dr. No'' that the "signature introduction would become the most famous and loved film line ever".{{sfn|Cork|Scivally|2002|p=6}} In 2001, it was voted as the "best-loved one-liner in cinema" by British cinema goers,<ref>{{cite news|title=James Bond tops motto poll|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/1383350.stm|access-date=4 November 2011|newspaper=BBC News|date=11 June 2001|archive-date=5 March 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070305191459/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/1383350.stm|url-status=live}}</ref> and in 2005, it was honoured as the 22nd greatest quotation in cinema history by the [[American Film Institute]] as part of their [[AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movie Quotes|100 Years Series]].<ref>{{cite web|title=100 Years Series: "Movie Quotes" |url=http://connect.afi.com/site/DocServer/quotes100.pdf?docID=242 |work=AFI 100 Years Series |publisher=[[American Film Institute]] |access-date=4 November 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716070844/http://connect.afi.com/site/DocServer/quotes100.pdf?docID=242 |archive-date=16 July 2011 }}</ref> A 2024 survey by online [[Financial adviser|investment advisor]] and digital [[wealth management]] company [[MoneyFarm]] found that 70 per cent of Brits said they associated the word "bond" with James Bond, rather than the savings product of [[Savings bond|the same name]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.cityam.com/the-names-bond-savings-bond-but-most-brits-still-think-of-007/|title=The name's bond.

The 25 James Bond films produced by Eon are the longest continually running film series of all time, and including the two non Eon produced films, the 27 Bond films have grossed over $7.04&nbsp;billion in total, making it the [[List of highest-grossing franchises and film series|sixth-highest-grossing franchise]] to date.
