I recall once watching a SC clip, YOLT I think, as a demo on a B & O Betamax in Harrods. least I think it was It's a bit hazy but I was well impressed with it all!! Now I am sounding old!!
I remember Betamax-just! My parents had a player - only tape I can remember us having was The Snowman - the one with the Aled Jones song - Walking in the Air.
It wasn't until late 2002 or early 2003, when I was in my pre-teens, when my older brother, already in his teens at the time, introduced me to a little film known as Live and Let Die. It intrigued me,... frightened me at times,... captivated me throughout with attentive eyes and ears. It was nothing like I had ever seen before in my whole life up to that point, film-wise. I wanted to discover more about these James Bond films, so my brother introduced me to the next Bond film (TMWTGG), I rented the rest of the Roger Moore entries over the next several weeks (bar Octopussy, because, at that time, I thought I had already seen it), and the rest, as they say, is history. I became hooked on Bond at that point, following on from there with the Connery entries, Dalton's introduction (TLD), the PG-13 entries once I turned 13, and finally ending with OHMSS by December 2003/January 2004.
So based on my memories, I'd have to say that Live and Let Die was the first Bond film I ever saw. Regardless of whether it was that or Octopussy , however, I'm very grateful that I was first introduced to the series with Roger Moore as 007. He may no longer be my favorite Bond these days (he was when I was running through his Bond films for the first time), but he still holds a very special place in my heart when it comes to my love for the film series. :)
