Not certain which I saw first. Goldfinger could have conceivably have been as early as 1970, but was probably later than that. Obviously, LALD could not have been before 1974.
Cool!
Goldfinger, 1964 Chinese theatre Hollywood Ca, then read the novels and then saw the re-release of FWL and DR. Hooked for life.

It's always a great read for those of us who weren't around.
Anyway, the speedboat chase in LALD was fantastic, and by the time Roger Moore flicked the bezel on his Rolex to cut the ropes off his wrists, I was hooked on both Bond and wristwatches.
My brother bought the movie tie-in version of "Live and Let Die" and I read it a few years later, thinking how different it was to the film. I must have been about twelve or thirteen. This is way before the world got all PC and touchy-feely.
A few years after that, I bought "Dr No" and later read all of the Fleming novels and watched all of the Bond films as they came up on TV and at the cinema.
And I haven't looked back since.
TWINE was my first film, on VHS. DAD was my first in the theater.
FRWL was my first Bond novel
I was no older than 4 when I first played GE64, I was 7 when I saw TWINE and DAD, and I was probably 10 when I read FRWL.
TND game is how I got into Bond in the first place.
Ooh, my condolences. I remember having that game as a kid (I got it, I think, for my 8th birthday actually) just after I'd seen the film and had, by this point, seen about half of the movies. And even back then, as a little kid who took pretty much any video game as at least "enjoyable", I really thought it was crap. Glad you stuck to the series, but if that was your introduction to the whole thing, I wouldn't blame you for never returning to it lol
US TV Premiere: 17th September 1972, ABC

It was the first Bond film to show on the small-screen. It was a big deal at the time. Bond on TV.
My first experience of Bond was DAF in cinema as a boy. The movie posters looked exciting, but the actual experience was even better. The film blew me away.
Dad, I think thought it might be safe for kids, but quickly realized shortly into the film that it was adult fare, but too late, me and my pals,after that opening pts, were already wide-eyed and bouncing in our seats. We weren't going anywhere.
It was all I could think about for weeks, and it wasn't Connery that got me, it was the whole 007 escapist/danger vibe. I was hooked on all things Bond from that point.

My first 007 experience was Goldeneye 007. The N64 game however, not the movie. I came across that, and the whole Bond universe later.
The first DVD I had was also TND. Before receiving the collector box of 2006.
The first novel I read was Carte Blanche...
Thanks, timmer. September 17, 1972 was my dad's 29th birthday. Now I know how he celebrated it!
.
I was in high school and i remeber loving the ice Palace and the invisible car. I was really Blown away with that place.
I also loved Pierce as Bond so i was really sad when i knew he was gonna be replaced by the next film.
Anyway since Die Another day i watched all the latter Bond movies in theaters except Quantum since for some reasons I didn't get the chance.
Now i became a true Bond fan this year since i watched all the Bond films i never watched before and all because of The November man.
That film( The November man) reminded me to first to watch the 3 films with Pierce i didn't see before then i felt i should check Quantum and then went with the whole franchise.
I also remember Wint & Kidd.........i thought they were a funny pair of guys, walking around together, holding hands.
The scenes that really stuck in my memory, were the scorpion down the back of the neck, and being cremated alive.........nasty!
My friend and I rented it one night not knowing what it was when we went to Blockbuster one night with his mother. The next day my mom asked how it went and what we did and upon telling her how much I loved the game, she was like "If you loved the game, you'd probably love the movies too" and to my shock I said "THERE ARE MOVIES!?"
That night, my mom took me to Blockbuster and rented Goldfinger and GoldenEye for me and my love of the franchise began.
