TV. It was either a Moore or Connery, but I am not positive. then again I am not positive at all truly. I know the nineties Bond movies were big in my house so it blurs the memory.
What a great question. Diamonds are Forever at the Odean in Bolton, U.K. Immediately demanded the Corgi moonbuggy for Christmas that year. It must have been DAF as I remember getting dumped at my grandparents place as they were going to the "pictures" to see something called On Her Majesty's Secret Service. My first Fleming film though was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the same cinema in Bolton.
oddly enough i saw my first in the late 1990's. It was Goldeneye. I was at a friends house and saw it on VHS. I asked if I could borrow it. After that i was hooked!!!!!! Goldeneye always holds a special place in my heart....lol. Although my 2 favorite bond films stand as Tomorrow Never Dies and Casino Royale.
To technically answer the question, i saw it on VHS on my TV at home.
The First Bond Film i ever saw at the cinema was The Spy Who Loved Me in 1977. Prior to that i can recall seeing clips of Thunderball, From Russia with Love (the scene featuring the poster of Anita Ekberg stands out in my mind), and OHMSS on TV, in the mid 70's.
It wasn't until seeing CR with Daniel Craig that I realised I'd never seen a Bond movie before, all the others where ,Now poor subtitutes, Connery ( He just didn't know it at the time ) trying to be Daniel Craig, all Hardman and Macho, I can see now how silly they were. Bring on 23 Quick, I say. -{

In 1964, not long after my seventh birthday my father took me to see "Goldfinger" at the Roxy Theater on the boardwalk in Atlantic City. I remember waiting toward the front of a long line that stretched a block down the boardwalk as we waited to enter the theater. When the previous showing ended there seemed to be a never ending stream of people leaving the theater. Seeing my first Bond film on a huge screen in a packed 2,000 seat movie palace was an experience I will never forget.
TSWLM when it premiered on TV. I would have been around 11....the memories of the car, gadgets and Jaws left a big impression and it remains my favourite film.
It's an interesting contrast for my kids who can just choose to watch what they want, when they want from dvds - a discussion I had with my eldest only yesterday. No waiting for years for the TV showing at Christmas like in the "old days"! They have never seen a Bond film at the cinema as they are too young given the grittier content of the DC films, but have access to pretty much every film. I had to wait until video (and an income), before I could start ticking them all off.....!

DR NO, Northgate Theater, Memphis, Tennessee, 1963.
I've been hooked ever since. I must have been in the 4th grade.

Next to me my girlfriend Ulla (blonde long hair, her parents were Swedes) I did not get much of the movie though
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
It may have been the Man With The Golden Gun when it first appeared on domestic screens some time around 1977
I'll go with that, it was a long time ago and 'have' been doing other things in the time since
1. GoldenEye 2. Goldfinger 3. Skyfall 4. OHMSS 5. TWINE
