I was wondering if anyone here a CBn had actually been to Dr. No when it was first in theatres. It's not probable, but I was just curious. If not, what was the earliest Bond movie you saw in theatres? The earlier the better.

My first Bond in the theatre was Tomorrow Never Dies.

My first theatre Bond was a DN/GF double bill in 1976. My first trip to newly relaesed Bond was TSWLM. MR sticks in my mind though. I went to see that four times when it came out and the queues were round the block every time.

My first one was also TND. Quite a pitty that I wasn't a fan yet when Goldeneye came out.

There were always double and triple feature rereleases when I was a little kid and it was one of the first five that I saw first. The first one I saw when it was brand new was DAF in early 1972.

The first 007 flick I saw in theatres was DAF. I still have warm place in my heart for that movie. After that I saw DN/Thunderball double header and FRWL/GF pairing. By then Roger Moore was playing Bond and I have seen everyone since then in the theatres.

My first theatrical Bond experience was GoldenEye in 1995. Didn't care much about Bond back then, though. :)

My first was For You eyes only. But I saw Goldfinger and From Russia with Love in a theater in '2000. It was fantastic to finally see those on the big screen. It didn't matter that I'd seen them hundreds of times, it was a fresh experience. :)

My first Bond in a Theatre was opening night for The Living Daylights. I still remember that like it was yesterday, and I've been going opening night ever since.

My first Bond in the cinema was TWINE. My school friends went to TND two years earlier but I thought it was 'just another action movie' and didn't want to spend money on it.

I saw DAF in the cinema on its original release and all subsequent movies. I went to the world premieres of everything from FYEO to GE. I've seen every Bond film in a cinema be it on its original release, reissue or conventions, art houses etc.

My first "real Bonding" was TLD in '87 (am I right?), when I was still a kid in Miami. Since then, I've seen almost every Bond on the big screen, in rerelease, except for DN and YOLT.

My first introduction to the World of 007 came in 1983 when my father took me to see Never Say Never Again and, needless to say, I was hooked.

Me too! I saw GF, TB, and YOLT in a triple feature in 1970, and DAF in new release.
