    The first Bond I ever saw was probably a TV broadcast of MR or TSWLM when I was about 5 years old. I remember thinking Jaws was so awesome and scary - to me he was the main bad guy. That's about all I can recall.

    The first I saw in the cinema was GE. Having liked the OO7 movies I'd seen on TV I was pretty excited about seeing it. The hype it was getting at the time (the bungee jump, the Z3, Brosnan being hailed as the best since Connery) added to my expectations and I wasn't disappointed. I loved GE and still do.

    My first bond film was The Spy Who Loved Me. A friend of mine showed to me in a VHS tape. Loved everything of it, the set, the plot, the script and of course Bond.

    Are you sure it wasnt Americas Strongest Man?
    I'm sorry for my stupidity, but I don't get the joke.

    Its classic Partridge.


    I've never seen that. Now I understand.
    It's brilliant by the way.... ^:)^

    First memory of bond was watching live and let die, my parents were big bond fans they introduced me to the early movie's, grabbed my imagination immediately as a boy.

    Casino Royale, not in theaters though. Probably was around 2007! Thought it was a great movie but had no idea, well I knew a little about James Bond but anyway, that there was 20 more movies to watch. Since I had not seen any of the older movies I believed that all was rough as CR. Got a bit surprised when I watched the next Bond movie with Roger Moore as 007! :D

    I remember seeing sections of previous Bond films round my Grandma's when I was younger, I strongly remember Bond and Honey Ryder on the beach / island, and parts around that. But my fist proper introduction to Bond was in late 2008, when i bought a VHS tape of GoldenEye for 10p from a local Charity Shop; I watched it that very night, and instantly fell in love with the franchise.

    Diamonds are Forever; I was about 13; in a theatre. Loved everything about it and wanted to look like Jill St. John. I also loved The Girl from Uncle and A Shot in the Dark, so I kept wavering who I wanted to look like (Stephanie Powers, Elke Sommer).
    But I knew that from then on I would always be a little in love with Sean Connery - and I had to see every Bond film ever made. And about 2 years later I discoverd the books and read all the Flemings straight through. So my secret wish from age 13 on was to be a Bond girl; yeah that's true.

    I've never had a cinematic Bond experience because I wasn't a huge Bond movie fan (I enjoyed the video games first) until around 2009, after QoS had been released. At that time, I rented the Bond DVDs from Blockbuster, and if I remember correctly, I first saw From Russia with Love because I had the video game and wanted to watch the actual movie it was based on. Playing the video game and then seeing the movie was a HUGE shock for me, I was thinking, "Where's all the action?! What happened to the DB5, the jet-packs, the long, machine-gun filled boat chase, and the entire Octopus Base stuff? And why are they called SPECTRE?! And where's Red Grant's big doom machine thingy?!" Still, I thought the movie was great, and I solidified myself as a Bond fan in both the games and the movies!

    It must be strange or at least a little disconcerting if you go from the games to the movies ... but I'm glad you like the movies. Try the Fleming books next! :)

    GE in the end of 1999, when my sisters went to see TWINE in the cinema. I played the game and saw the movie on the same day. I thought that both were the coolest things ever.

    I am aslo yet to have my first in-cinema Bond experience, which will most likely be Skyfall this October. I also first got into it through a Bond video game, that was the wii/ xbox 360 Quantum of Solace, and although it may have been hated by many fans back then, it WAS what purely started everything Bond from that point-on. It was about the following week that I watched my first, full, Bond film, GoldenEye.

    Seems like we were pretty similiar in getting started into Bond! My first Bond experience was through 007 Nightfire, aka the world's greatest video game ever, and GoldenEye was also one of the earliest Bond movies that I watched.

    First bond flm I ever saw was For Your Eyes Only when I was 7 (2005). My dad first introduced me to the series. Before then I had only seen glimpses of Bond on TV. Now at 14 I am now completely obsessed with all things Bond!! :)

    Good to see that we've got some younger members here! I'm a newly-turned 16 year old, and I used to think I was the youngest one on here!
