First Bond film you saw

[Fishman Dan]

Mine was Live and Let Die - of course theme song by McCartney and Wings.

Like Goughy, i was about 6 or 7 and completely glued to the box, although the masks and the voodoo theme had me scared witless. I saw it on my old black/white TV.

I think the next one would have been GoldFinger.

First I saw at the cinema was Moonraker, and remember again being scared to the bejeezus by Jaws.

Gold Finger is my 1st one... then I rent all of them before the Gold Finger. Some of them are black and white.

You only live twice. Moonraker was the first in a cinema. Seen em all, love them all. Really want the DVD collection!

Casino Royale (Peter Sellers/David Niven - Not really a Bond film in the true sense) was my first one. Believe it or not, I was about 20 years old. I've never really been into the Bond genre of films & only saw this one while attending a film course I was doing in conjuction with my music degree.

I believe the only other ones I've seen fully are Dr No & On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

[Courty]

Can't remember the first exactly, but I've seen them all except for Casino Royale. I used to like Roger Moore the best as he was the first Bond I saw. But as I got to see more of the films I grew to prefer Connery's version. Moore comes across as more of a stuffy upper-class Pom, whereas Connery was more suave & mysterious. Brosnan wasn't particularly great and Lazenby didn't get enough of a chance to establish himself. Daniel Craig is an interesting choice. I'll reserve judgement until I see the new film.
Apparently Orlando Bloom is going to play a young James Bond in a story based on his college days...

I've seen them available - all 20+ movies (some in foregin language) available in one kit! Unfortunately only available in the markets in China :lol:

Great price too ;)

[connico]

i think there is a set avaliable on amazon im sure i brought them all from there for one of my mates.

regardless first one i saw was "from russia with love"

Connery was the best IMO

[goughy]

I'm sure mine was you only live twice, followed by from russia with love. By the time I was 17 I'd lost count at over 100 times I'd seen the various movies. Moore was my first favourite; more smart**** etc but connery is the king. A view to a kill was my first cinema bond film.

I have many of them on dvd, but am probably about 5 short of them all. Originally they were released in 3 box sets, then before Die Another Day was released on dvd a box set was released with all the movies with a space left to fit die another day once released. It was $300+ I recall.

Just had a look. Another box set coming out

"License to Kill" with Timothy Dalton. Not a bad Bond film in my opinion, but most people tend to disregard the Dalton films.

Do you expect me to talk?
No Mr Bond. I expect you to die.

[BrisWesty]

My father got kicked out of the hospital while I was being born, so he took himself off to the hospital to watch a James Bond movie. Does that count?
Think the first one might have been Moonraker. My folks were pretty strict about what I watched as a kid.

Being of slightly more advanced years that most of you guys, I have a vague memory of going to see Thunderball with my parents at the drive-in while wearing my PJ's (young-un's will not know this experience).

I'm almost certain my first genuine cinema experience at all without parental supervision was You Only Live Twice on a Saturday afternoon.

Watching Ursula Andress emerging from the water for the first time, even though it was in black and white on a TV and I was about 10 years old, ensured I would be heterosexual for ever more. I actually remember that scene being quite controversial, and the first time it was on TV I wasn't allowed to watch Dr No because of it.

Back in those days, James Bond movies were a really important event, and absolutely everybody went to see them at the movies, and watched them when they appeared on TV.

Live and Let Die was the first time I ever held hands with a girl in a theatre.

The original Ian Fleming books are very good, although very dated if you read them now. The golfing scene in Goldfinger is absolutely terrific in the book, and much better (and longer) than in the fillum.
