shows as being 1980 so I would have been 5. I only really recall the golden gun and naked women in the titles (probably got distracted by toys - it was xmas day after all!)
My first real film that I watched all the way through then would be TSWLM in 1982.
But i have some memories that i saw FRWL when i was like 4 years or something and saw Bond and Tatiana at the hotel room in Venice.
I remember watching the AVTAK premiere listed on here. I'd just turned 6 at the time and I remember it being on too late (school night) but after reading a school book to my mum and thinking I was off to bed she said 'Ok, as you've read so well you can watch James Bond' - It's one of my earliest and most vivid memories.
I was obviously already into Bond, my mum said I was around 3 when I started watching them but I still don't know which was the first I ever watched. I would guess it was a Moore.
An eye watering encounter, I bet. ;)
Unless I'm much mistaken didnt they interrupt this premiere with the half an hour of news at ten?
Wound me right up at the time but thats ITV for you. The way they used to cut Bond films was a joke.
Come on DC007, we all know Sir Rog would have judo chopped your pants down!
The first one I saw was LALD, I was very young but I'm pretty sure this was leading up to the UK TV premiere of AVTAK, I was about 7 or 8.
How did you know ? ;)
Are you sure it wasnt Americas Strongest Man?
It's such a shame that your first introduction to the world of 007 was via a small screen with adverts and cuts made to the movie. In my school years it was seen as a badge of honour if your parents took you to a Bond film at the flicks. Your parents must be monsters!!
I got interested in Bond between TWINE and DAD, so there was no other way for me than to discover my first film on VHS/TV.
I think the first one I would really been old enough to go and see at the cinema would LTK in 89 but that was a 15 and I was only 7.
I saw mine at the cinema :)
Its classic Partridge.
Good. I've seen all the Bonds on the big screen at sometime or other. Even the early 60's ones as Double Bills re-released in the 70's. My first was OHMSS just after New Year in the cinema. Needless to say it was what got me hooked on the whole Bond thing and I immediately pestered my parents to take me to see DAF when it came out. I can even recall seeing YOLT double billed with McQueen's Thomas Crown Affair in the early 70's. Now that was an odd pairing.
The first one I saw by myself was TMWTGG in '74 and I had the vinyl soundtrack, which I had purchased beforehand, clasped in my grubby hands throughout the entire performance. You see, I was into John Barry even as a little kid.
Memories are like mulligatawny soup in a cheap restaurant. It is best not to stir them.

Or perhaps its just more about the age demographic on these boards - a load of blokes on the cusp of middle age trying to nostalgically hang onto their youth?
Definitely a Brosnan or Connery flick, but I'm not sure which.
The first I saw in theaters was Die Another Day, at a relatively young age with my parents. Made me cover my eyes :P Then I though it was good, but that soon changed.
Brosnan definitely ushered in the series for me.
So the first movie I saw was of course GoldenEye- it was on VHS by then. I LOVED it and to this day it's still my favorite of the whole series. The first one I saw at the cinemas was Tomorrow Never Dies and I've seen each one opening day ever since!
Between the game and TND coming out all in the same year, I became a HARDCORE fan practically overnight!
=)) =D>
I've never seen that before, because I live in the states. Thank you so much for that!
