How often do you watch a Bond film?

Each day, week, month, year?

I must watch a Bond film every week. I always find something new in them to talk about. Tonight, it'll be OHMSS.

When choosing a film to watch, it's usually the one which I've forgotten a certain part of it or can't remember what happens after something...

Twine at very other week and then i pick and choose in the week between. Depends on the mood... I want a laugh I watch a Moore... I'm feeling retro I'll watch a Connery movie (sometimes a Harry Palmer film)... if I'm feeling serious I'll watch a Dalton... I want spectacle I'll watch a Brosnan.

They're great... love em... there's a film for every mood! What other series of film is so consistantly watchable?

Good Lord. Changes all the time for me. In the past fortnight I've watched three films. DAF, YOLT and FRWL. Connery mode at the moment. Actually, I'm just about to wear out my TWINE :)

At least once a week, but have been known to watch 3 in a day.
I recently had my own Bondfest going where I watched 3 movies/day for 3 days (long weekend, you see). Started with DR and finished up with TMWTGG.
12 years in 3 days.
TWINE is on Star Movies tomorrow night so I'll have to watch GE and TND to Brosnanise my senses beforehand :)

It depends on how much time I have. At least one film a week. But I'm reading the Gardner books (some in English, because they weren't translated to German) and this wastes a lot of time.

I bought 9 James Bond movies on ebay in the original language, English, and now I'm going to watch them. (I've just seen LTK and I must say: "wow!" So many scenes that are cutted in Germany...)


Regards,
Tim

On average probably about 3 a week, depending on how busy I am, I try to watch one every night but I'm usually busy. Sometimes it might go up to 7 or 8 in one week, eg. last week I watched GE TND and TWINE on saturday and then MOONRAKER on saturday night, DR.NO on sunday and I'd watched FYEO and AVTAK earlier in the week. I always have it on but don't always watch a whole movie if you see what I mean, I'll have a film running while I'm doing other stuff aswell if u see what I mean

About one every two weeks. Less often in Winter and more often in Summer, because of the footy. Sometimes I force myself not to watch one because I'm paranoid that if I watch 'em too often I'll eventually get sick of them, I hope that never happens.

Wow, when I look at these replies I wished that I had the time to see a bond movie at least once a week.
To answer the question : when I initially bought all the Bond movies on video , I watched them all in two weeks. Since then I try to see them all again in a timespan of one year. Let's see, that makes 366 days / 20 movies (NSNA also counted) which is about one bond movie every 18 days. I watch the movies most of the time in random order.

I have at least once a month a Bond-a-Thon. This is an invention of my friend and I after work. It started out with the BMA (Bond Movie Average) we would ask people what their BMA was. Mine would be up there with about a 90-100% BMA. Then we became friends and started having Bond-a-Thons. These BAT would consist of 1-3 Bond movies, GE for N64 and anything relating to spies. We soon found other friends that also wanted to increase their BMA so the BATs grew. But on average I try to watch at leased on Bond movie a week, but at my pinnacle last summer I was up to about two a day. It has tapered off but when I don't get Bond for a while I feel like a slughead. I also study them because I am the BondMovieTriviaKing!

Exactly, thats how I watch them. If I went in to detail on when I watch each film it would take forever, but for example, I've recently started watching Moonraker on a friday afternoon when I get in from school, and Dr.No on sunday afternoon

I find myself frequently doing that.
But I'll usually watch at least one over the weekends.

I must change my statement :) After FYEO being on TV last night I've watched four Bond films in the past fortnight. Now that would make two a week? Well I've watched three this week and one last week. And after today, the week is over!
