First one they saw. Period. It's not difficult.
The first Bond film they saw, whether it was in the cinema, on television, on vhs, on DVD, on Blu-Ray, on Laserdisc &tc.

Saw my first Bond film on TV in late 1994. It was a double feature of FYEO/TSWLM (incredible experience) and then FRWL the next night. At the time, the films were playing regularly on TV with all the buzz about GE in production.
first Bond on TV: FYEO (late 1994)
first Bond on VHS: think it was LALD (1996)
first Bond taped off TV: NSNA (1997 or 1998)
first Bond in theatres: TND (December 1997)
first Bond on DVD: ? probably FRWL (mid-late 2007)
first Bond on BR: SF (early 2013)
My mother thinks exactly like yours: For her, Connery IS the one and only Bond. She liked Brosnan and tolerates Craig. To her, Moore, Dalton and Lazenby do not even exist. In fact, she hates Sir Roger's guts.
I'm envious.
The cult of Connery sprang up I think as a visceral response to Rog's less convincing, less Alpha Bond.
Sean I think had been taken for granted, up till the full Rogness manifested.
It was assumed that Sean was Bond. Laz at least did an acceptable Connery stand-in. He brought the physicality and the Bond edge.
Suddenly the Saint was playing Bond. It was all wrong. Bond was no longer threatening, no longer dangerous. Rog brought the charm, but not the violent edge.
If I could go back in time, as Bond producer, I would sit down with Laz, and convince him to return as Bond for LALD and forward. Mend fences. Wouldn't have been difficult. Just a matter of soothing egos and writing a cheque.
Give Bond back his dangerous edge.

Still love TWINE. It was the start of my Bond fascination, and my Bond fascination was the start of my interest in international cinema.
TWINE sure made a big difference for me.

I very much enjoyed the film, but was surprised to see that James Bond was a bit older than i had imagined him to be.
The 2 fruits, Wint & Kidd were very amusing.
