DAF though I've probably seen about 25 times. Same with LALD and TMWTGG and maybe GF too
DAF for me as well is the one I've seen the most. I think what critics of this film overlook is how memorable it is and the rewatchability is very high. My left brain, the logical side, tells me that this is a film with flaws, that perhaps it is a stretch from the original Flemming concept. But my right brain, the creative side, tells me it's a highly colorful and entertaining film, if not the most so of the entire series.
Some of the more 'serious' Bond films I don't have the desire to keep going back to, even though they are perhaps better constructed films.
When I was 8 and 9 I watched at least parts of GE everday.
The same for GF when I was 12.
I saw OP many times when I was 16, AND TMWTGG loads of times since 2011. Before that I probably had seen it ten times. And that´s what I think is the number of times I´ve seen CR and QOS. LTK, TLD, OHMSS, DAF and FRWL I haven´t seen that many times either, perhaps 15-20 times.
How does it hold up for you over years DC007?
Holds up very good. Always a blast to watch that film - waiting for the cult classic scenes, to quote the films as you go... the last fantastic Bond soundtrack... I remember being a huge fan of GE on the N64... and when I discovered the film I was amazed. This film opened me to the world of Bond, and I am grateful. The movies I watched a lot when I was younger and that didn't hold up are TWINE and GF.
I started watching Bond films from the age of about 5 or 6 and haven't stopped since. Wouldn't know which is the most viewed. As a child, it would have been one of the Roger's. Nowadays, it's more likely to be any out of TB, OHMSS, TLD, LTK and FRWL. Least would probably be DAD, TWINE and AVTAK.
With 22 in the canon, I never find myself watching one a bit too much and spoiling enjoyment. Got DN on the go at the moment. Superb.
Most likely because Moore did the most than all the others and I actually do get some enjoyment out of most of them, despite the sometimes overbearing stupidity
Next up would be Connery most likely, yes I'm sure of that
Not really a fan on OHMSS so poor George never really got much of a look in
Dalton may be my favorite but I don't necessarily watch his two releases that often
Brosnan has had some viewings, I usually put Die Another Day on if I need a laugh or am merely feeling masochistic, and then there's always the excellent TWINE and very good Goldeneye for good measure
Craig does get a view every now and again, but not too often
I've seen Goldeneye more than 13 times for sure, probably nearly 50 or 60 if the truth be known, but that's only a rough estimate
Least watched would be Thunderball, I'm sure of it. Don't even own a copy, but as for most viewed ? Once again, has to be a Moore release, because that's where the most fun to be had was, but don't really know what is 'most watched' of even them
Live and Let Die, Moonraker and Golden Gun for example, would be in triple figures, but can't really add anymore to that
QoS is least watched for you, I am sure.
But at least I've seen it, more recently than Thunderball. The memories are fresher
They're the only two James Bond releases I don't have a copy of incidentally
During the same period, the older Bond films used to air occasionally on ABC. Thus, I was able to see all of them by the time I started high school, including that weird re-edit of On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Not sure if I saw any of them more than once that way, however.
In any case, since I began to collect the films, (first on VHS in the late-'90s, then on DVD, now on Blu-Ray), my most watched film is probably Live and Let Die, and the count is upward of 50 times (at least 3 times a year, starting in '96).
Several other films are up in the same range, including From Russia With Love, The Living Daylights, Goldfinger, and the aforementioned OHMSS and FYEO.
Geez! You've spent 24 years of just watching Bond? ^:)^
Least watched? Probably ge.
The Maltese Falcon, The Third Man and Citizen Kane would be top choices because I unfortunately wasn't alive to see them on the big screen and their stunning camera work and cinematography would be a marvel to see in a theater. I would also throw in From Russia With Love or Psycho. What a treat it would be to see any of them on a huge screen with only me to enjoy it. One thing is certain: A Casablanca screening would mean I could die happy.
If you're ever in the Boston area in February, the Brattle Theatre in Cambridge runs a Casablanca marathon every year for one weekend around Valentine's Day. I went to college in the area, and thanks to the Brattle, my first ever viewing of Casablanca was on the big screen. It's an unparalleled experience.
