When Casino Royale came out, I watched it 6 or 7 times in the cinema. I was certainly overshadowed on that count by many here.

So, count off. Did you see something on the 2nd viewing that was missed on the 1st? Or the 3rd?

I´ve seen it 3 times now. I watched Casino 3 times also and Quantum twice. The first one I saw in cinema was Goldeneye, saw it once like the other Brosnans. I wasn´t completely spoiler-free when I saw Skyfall at the first time so there were certain things to wait :) The second and third times? I just bloody enjoyed the masterpiece!

Three times is a maximum for me and now I´m just waiting the Blu-ray :)

I saw Casino Royale twice, and Quantum Of Solace once. Tonight was the first for Skyfall in digital projection. Tomorrow will be the second, this time in IMAX. Afterwards, that's it. Don't feel the need to see it anymore.

Three times, and the third visit to the multiplex was unplanned. I'd booked last Wednesday afternoon off from work - one of those "staying in waiting for a tradesman to turn up and fix something in the house" occasions. As it happened, he turned up very early, the job was done in a minute, and I had a few hours to kill, so off to the flicks I went.

One pleasant thing happened at the multiplex - I bumped in to a couple of my ex-students in the audience, both pensioners and veterans of an "over 50s" IT class I ran a few years ago. They certainly enjoyed the action and gratuitous sex and violence - as did all the other mainly middle-going-on-old aged types there.

As for cyber-terrorist Silva - "I wonder where he learnt all that stuff about computers?", one of my students asked. "Not from me, I assure you!" I replied. :-)

Watched the first showing (a midnight showing at that) at the local cinema last night, and it was nearly sold out. Something of which I honestly was not expecting. Very enjoyable film.

11/9/2012 in the USA, already saw Skyfall twice in one day. Two different theaters, one of them was a midnight advance showing, hence I saw the new film, got a good night's sleep and then saw it again. This is a turning point in the franchise, it was done well, and all the elements of previous Bonds are poised to make a comeback. Special request to the Broccoli family-- please put the gunbarrel logo where it belongs, at the beginning of the film!

I saw 'Casino Royale' 4 times and 'Quantum Of Solace' 2.

Currently, 'Skyfall' is at 2 with another viewing planned for Wednesday....after that? Watch this space! :)

Once so far because it just opened here yesterday. To be honest, it was tempting to jump right back in line after my showing and see it again. I'll likely see it again Tuesday with a friend who couldn't make it yesterday. We had planned for tomorrow but it turns out he can't make it. Tuesday is the cheap night anyways. A movie as brilliant as this for $5? Count me in!

I saw The World is Not Enough twice, Die Another Day just once, and Casino Royale I only saw once even though I would have liked to have gone again. I kept meaning to go back but it just never happened. Quantum I managed to see twice. There's something special about Bond in the theater. I could see myself seeing Skyfall even a couple more times. I've only got one exam in December so I'll have lots of free time.

I've seen it three times in three days. So worth it. Can't believe I'm saying this, but I've had enough of Skyfall for the time being.

Don't love it any less, though. :)

Didn't see Casino Royale in theaters. I saw Quantum of Solace twice in theaters, if I recall correctly. I have seen Skyfall twice now.

The second time I actually got to read a bit of Bond's obituary because the projector wasn't lazy about it. The first time, things were pretty blurry at points, example being the obituary. This might have something to do with the theaters.

I really like the movie both times but was still underwhelmed by Adele's song.

Might see it again next week. Definitely getting it on DVD, or blu-ray.

Five times in three days.

The excursion to see it on an IMAX screen Thursday involved a 3 hour round trip drive. I'm not done yet, but at five Skyfall has already taken the record for the most times I've seen a Bond film in the cinema.

My Bond cinema history: I saw GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, and TWINE one time each. Die Another Day twice. Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace both three times.

Just went again today, this time an IMAX viewing. pretty packed. 10 minute wait/line to get it. Worth it. Skyfall in IMAX was simply amazing. To those who haven't seen it in IMAX, SEE IT

I only seen it once and think I'll wait for the DVD so it feels fresh again, once I get it I'll probably over watch it.

I'm seeing Skyfall again today and probably one more time in a few weeks. I lost track how many times I've seen Casino Royale. It was over 20 and close to 30. I don't know that I'd get to see Skyfall that many times but it's definitely my second favorite Daniel Craig Bond film.

Once so far, but that's only because I can't stand packed theaters and will avoid them if I can. I got lucky the first time in that I have Fridays off and went when most people were working or at school.

I will probably see it at least twice more before it leaves theaters.

I have seen it once but I need to see it again sometime during this week. I am going to see if my friend wants to come with me or something.

I saw it twice in IMAX on Thursday when it released a day early. Have another viewing planned for tomorrow in standard format (my wallet can't afford another IMAX viewing just yet). As for the other films, I saw TWINE and DAD each just once in theaters. In fact it took me a good three years before I watched DAD a second time. I think I saw CR 4 times and QoS 3. So I'll catch Skyfall once or twice more and then I should be set until the Blu Ray is released.

I've seen it six times so far, once a day since the IMAX midnight showing, with another viewing planned for tomorrow. Thrice I went by myself and three times (four tomorrow) I went with someone who has never seen a Bond movie before.

3. First time was an advanced IMAX screening. Second time was the next day, the first day of general release. Saw it again about a week later. I'm super busy with work and uni over the next two weeks so probably won't see it again until it comes out on blu-ray.

I just returned from seeing Skyfall. This is my second showing. I went with a good friend of mine and we kept talking about how hot Daniel Craig is.. (: We gossip about the James Bond actors all the time. Anyway that was her first time seeing it and she absolutely loved it. My other guy friend still wants to go see it, so I will probably go see it with him.!

As an update, I did indeed see it this past Tuesday. That's probably it for now as I'll be busy with final papers the next couple weeks. As soon as school is done at the end of the month, I'll probably try to see it one or two more times throughout December. A friend of mine is eager to go for his second viewing and I thought it might make a nice date movie for a lovely girl I've met. ;)
