Calling all Twilight fans present and future: It’s truly wild that the vampire-human romance everyone obsessed over came out more than two decades ago. Even though the actors have gone on to do really interesting things (ahem, like starring as Batman and Princess Di), people’s love of the sparkly Cullens will last until the end of time—after all, the films made more than $3 billion and fans are still discussing them all these years later.

“Remind me, how many Twilight movies are there?” I hear you asking. First of all, wow, how could you possibly forget? Second of all, great question, because there are only four books in the Twilight saga, which tells the story from Bella’s POV. Technically, there is a fifth Stephenie Meyer book, Midnight Sun, which tells the love story from Edward’s perspective. (As of this moment, there are no plans to turn that into a sixth movie, but, ya know, we can always dream!)

Just in case you have never watched the Twilight movies, this is the definitive order with the basic plot points (if you don’t want spoilers, just click on the watch links and come back when you’re done). And in case you need to know where to watch the films, I gotchu! When the movies left Netflix, that scream you heard was millions of Team Edward fans wailing at the top of their lungs. You can def still stream ’em, but you might need to pay to watch—the watch links below are for Amazon Prime, but you can also watch on YouTube and Google Play. There’s also iTunes?? And AppleTV+? And let’s not forget the DVDs!!

Twilight (2008)

Ah, the original. Bella Swan meets the hottest, sparkliest, most mysterious stranger—hey, Edward!—and basically becomes soulmates with a vampire. Despite not being a favorite among critics, it grossed more than $400 million worldwide. NBD.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010)

Bring on the latest villain: an army of vampires! Also, this is the movie where Bella finally makes her pick in the love triangle everyone was obsessed with (cue Team Edward vs. Team Jacob)—and, surprising no one, picks Edward, setting in motion the events of the rest of the series.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 (2011)

The final book is split into two parts for the movie adaptation, and actually, it does kinda work because this one has a lot happening. Wedding! Sexy times! A super-fast pregnancy! And a huge Bella transformation, if you know what I mean (you get it).

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 (2012)

The final installment of the movie saga is also kind of the most off the rails. Creepy CGI baby! Jacob imprinting on said baby! An epic battle with a big ol’ twist! The film pulls out all the stops and, TBH, is often considered the most entertaining of the movies.
