Your most-viewed Bond movie?

chrisisall

Not your favourite (though it might also be that), the movie you figure you've seen the greatest number of times.
There was a time when DAF was my hands down favourite Bond movie, and through the years I've owned it on VHS, then CED, and now DVD. I've seen it upwards of FIFTY times, more than any other Bond movie (the next closest would be TND at a paltry 25 or so).
So, what's your most-viewed, and how many times do you imagine you've watched it?

Dutchfinger

Hmmm intresting question, I have to say I watched all of them numerous times ) ...
But thinking about it, I think Goldeneye has to be the movie I have seen the most times... proberbly a lot of the Brosnan one's anyway!

10 years from now I believe my answer will be TLD. I've watched it once in its initial theatrical release, once a year later rented on VHS, and EIGHT times more since I purchased the DVD three months ago!!! )

You Only Live Twice, my Number One Bond guilty pleasure! I remember watching YOLT with my youngest son so much that he became fascinated with Japan and Japanese culture. When he was looking for colleges to attend, the only institutions he would consider were those that had a study abroad program that would allow him to spend a semester in Japan. He wound up spending his entire junior year in Japan, and upon graduation he went back there to teach English, married a Japanese woman he met while studying there, and he has been living in there ever since (almost 10 years now).

Wow BL, cool story attached to your selection!!! He's also studied martial arts, I'll wager?

Blackleiter

You are correct, friend! He also became a connoisseur of anime and East Asian cinema. The unfortunate thing is that I have yet to be able to visit him in Japan. But mark my words, I'll get there some day! :007)

Complete guess would be LALD, although it could possibly be AVTAK... But to be honest, I've watched them all quite a lot lol

Agent007jamest

Not entirely sure but I think it would be GF & or TB

I've seen LALD so many times, but AVTAK is *the* only Bond film I've EVER seen in its entirety just once, in the theatre.

One of Goldfinger, Goldeneye, You Only Live Twice, or Octopussy. Usually, they happened to be on the most.

This film isn't mentioned a lot, which is a shame because I am really fond of the film. It is FYEO, the film I've seen the most because it was the first Bond DVD I've owned. The film is very special to me, as it is the film which properly got me into 'fan-mode'.

don p

goldfinger... thunderball then goldeneye

00-Agent

From Russia With Love or Octopussy, and Thunderball as my third most watched.

Le Samourai

OHMSS, no question. I just never tire of it.

TLD and TWINE would be up there, too.

Amazing story about the impact of Bond.

I don't keep a record of the number of times I watch each film, but since whenever I feel like watching a Bond film it's either Dr No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger or Thunderball that I pick up first before thinking about whether I want to watch something different, I think it's one of those four.

I had never seen that movie until it was broadcast on TV, and even then I missed a bit of it, but what I saw I liked, so when it came on CED, I snatched it up and for a few months there I was watching it weekly. I was like, I can't believe they never had THIS in a theatrical Bond marathon!!! It's one of the best!

torontobondfan

I don't keep track, but if I had to guess it would be Live and Let Die.

Peppermill

I think it would be Dr. NO for me. It was the first movie I got on VHS as a kid and watched it A LOT that first year.

The Spy Who Loved Me

Can you ever get bored of perfection?

minigeff

Paperbill

BIG TAM

It'd be between GOLDFINGER & THE SPY WHO LOVED ME. They put a big-kid grin on my face & are both as comfortable as a warm duvet.

Mr Beech

I've seen Dr. No, Goldeneye, and Casino Royale at least five times each.

kotilap

Goldeneye and TSWLM are my top most viewed...However, its been awhile since I've watched those and the older ones. But getting the box set soon so I'll go through from the start.

As a kid I started keeping track of how many times I watched each Bond film. I put the dates on and had it all stored on a floppy disk I've no idea what happened to it.

It's probably Goldeneye or Thunderball. The former especially as I never tired of it as a kid and it was the first VHS I ever bought (still has the £4.99 Woolworths price sticker on!). I don't quite look upon it so perfectly now, but I still love it.

Halcon

in the last 6 months, in preparation for Skyfall -

From Russia with Love
Dr No
Goldfinger
Casino Royale &
QOS,

but mostly FRWL.

Napoleon Plural

I would have thought that OHMSS would be one that's good prep for Skyfall.

Halcon

ah, yes, OHMSS as well...
