Welcome, robinhood!

I wanted to see GoldenEye in the theaters, but I just turned 13 and my mom was being a brat because it was rated PG-13 (Grrrr!) Then Tomorrow Never Dies came out and I just wasn't interested for some reason.

So the first 007 film I saw in the theaters was The World Is Not Enough... 2 times in fact.

The first one I saw was The Living Daylights. I was 10.

Hope you didn't see Titanic instead.

Thanks. I discovered many good threads that have been inactive for awhile. Now new members can see them.

The first one I saw was TSWLM. It got me hooked. Then I discovered the novels at the library and was hooked on them, even more than the films. I must say that when I saw the Connery Bond's I liked them even more :-)

Thunderball at the drive in, about 1967.

That's crazy Taro, You saw Bond in his prime back in the sixties.

I was 13 and the first Bond movie I saw in the theater was GoldenEye. I went with my Mom because she was the one that got me started on Bond, she grew up in the Connery and Moore eras. Up till that time I had seen just about all of the other Bond films on TV. So it was quite something to sit there in the darkened theater and see the gunbarrel come across the screen and see Pierce turn and shoot for the first time. It ranks up there with the seeing the rerelease of Star Wars in the theater and seeing the opening crawl on the big screen.

Sat in the back seat of mum and dad's car and watched a number of Bond flicks during the many re-releases at LA drive-ins in the late 60's and early 70's. I was aged 3-6 but I was utterly captivated by the glimpses into this exciting world. Vivid memories include: recoiling in horror at the sight of a submerged and very dead Count Lippe/Major Derval in "Thunderball", being equally aghast at Quarrel's incineration in "Dr. No", feeling truly thrilled by Bond's perfect dive off the Baja oil rig in "Diamonds Are Forever". I idolized Connery's Bond in every frame, and fell completely under the spell of the wonderfully exotic locations throughout the films. When ABC began televising Bond films in the early 70's (beginning with "Goldfinger", if memory serves), I watched them religiously.

The first film I saw in the cinema proper (i.e. all the way through, and not wearing pajamas) was TSWLM in the glorious summer of '77. I was eleven years old. It was truly epic. Since then, I haven't missed a Bond release yet.

I saw the TV adverts for FYEO at age 11, but great as they looked I somehow didn't make it into the theatre... a year later I saw FYEO and Goldfinger on the same day on video (was it even a legal tape?? piracy was almost as wild in those days as it is now !) and within the next few months I saw all the other Bonds. By the time Octopussy hit the theatres I was the biggest Bondfan around and saw my first 007 flick on the big screen (and did I love it!). That same year NSNA was released and that was #2 for me (though I thought its running time was a bit too long ). In 84/85 several Bondclassics got small reissues and I saw them too on the big screen. Reissues... don't see much of those anymore these days...

[Taboo]

The first one I saw was The World Is Not Enough. I didn't like it then and i still don't.

Not on a large scale, not many at all.

[Mr. Somerset]

The first one I saw was MR when I was four. I vividly recall the space sequences and Jaws' "Well, here's to us."
The next one I saw in the theatre was OP. I have now seen them all on the big screen except TMWTGG.

[Chi-Town's Finest]

I saw TWINE with my grandparents (also avid Bond fans) and I saw Die Another Day on opening night in the US with friends. TND was the first one I watched all the way through.

[Jamie007]

Goldeneye. As a kid of the 80's I grew up watching Roger Moore on TV, but Goldeneye was the first time I saw Bond as it was meant to be seen. It remains my favorite Bond film to this day.

[YOLT]

Goldeneye. And I didnt liked it. TND was great

[eyeinthesky]

The 1st bond film i saw was You only Live twice. But the first bond film i saw at the cinema was Tomorrow Never Dies aged 11.

[Goldfinger007]

The first film I saw was Tomorrow Never Dies and was hooked ever since... I loved it the first time around...

[Johnboy007]

I saw Goldeneye in theatres with my family. Casino Royale will be the fifth I've seen in theatres.

[clinkeroo]

I'm with Somerset, the first I saw in the theater was Moonraker, at age 12. I had already started on the novels, but I did love the film back then. It was pretty much targeted for people that were my age at the time.

[The Girl With The Golden Gun]

I can never pin this one down..i seem to remember it being Goldeneye, but then it was rated 12 when it came out in 1995, which means it couldn't have been, because i would have been 11 at the time. Thinking about it, i think the first ever one i saw at the cinema was Tomorrow Never Dies, and i've gone to see them ever since...but i'll always have TSWLM to thank for getting into Bond in the first place, you gotta love those ITV 007 marathons!

[tdalton]

Goldeneye was the first one that I saw in theaters. Wished I had been around to see the other ones in theater, especially Dalton's films. Hopefully they go back to that style of Bond film instead of more DAD action films.

[K1Bond007]

GoldenEye at 14 was the first in the theater. I had seen Dr. No, Goldfinger long before that though.

[The Girl With The Golden Gun]

I agree - Purvis and Wade have a lot riding on this next one, especially if they're adapting Casino Royale which essentially set the tone for the series. I watched Goldfinger recently and saw on the extra features how cinemas would show 2 Bond films back to back - whoever mentioned re-issues was right, you don't see a lot of them these days (except maybe for anniversaries of films of special occasions, ie film festivals) but it might be good, if possible, to rescreen some of the old ones - guaranteed to bring in money!

[Prav_007]

I saw TND at age 10, I saw it with my Dad, a guy who got me into James Bond.
