I was fortunately enough to see all 007 movies on the big screen.
In the aftermath of FYEO - which made me a 007 fan - our local cinema showed all previous 007 movies chronologically - one movie every week. All newer Bond flicks, I have seen in the cinema in the first week.
I remember that OHMSS blew me away and so did TSWLM when I've seen it back in '77 (my first 007 movie) and FYEO and CR -{

Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
I've seen them aii in the cinema since TSWLM. Also talked an older Brother to take me to LALD
( Don't know why I missed TMWTGG ). Although I do remember as a kid been taken to see OHMSS
as it was a family Holiday and all us kids went ( I slept through most of it as I woulld of been under 5 )
but I remembered the ski chase and the Black merc chasing Bond.
Thankfully with TVs getting bigger with surround sound the Home cinema experience might be almost
as good. )

Unfortunately, Die Another Day was my first big-screen Bond experience, I wish I could have seen all of them in theatres, but especially the 1960s films. I did see Goldfinger in the cinema in 2006 though, which was a wonderful experience!
My first Bond in the cinema was LALD and I've seen all since then except MWTGG. The only previous one I have since seen on the big screen was Dr No. I would like to see FRWL-TB on the big screen

For me it is Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Thunderball*, You Only Live Twice, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, The Spy Who Loved Me, For Your Eyes Only, and The Living Daylights.
Since I was born in 1982, I had to settle with seeing all of the pre Goldeneye films on video which was a real treat though as I have gotten older I discovered that seeing a film like this on the big screen is an experience not to be missed. I am hoping that I can possibly talk my local mom and pop theatre about showing some of the Bond films since they often show older movies on a regular basis.
*I did to see Goldfinger on the big screen last summer, thanks to another mom and pop theatre near me. It was a grand experience.
I've been blessed (and cursed when it comes to the sillier entries). Seen them all in the theater. I was a bit young for DN, but still remember being there. At least they would sometimes re-release them andI caught it and FRWL at an older age. I even got the toy attache case for for a Christmas present. No matter how big the home flatscreen is, it still doesn't compare to a 70 foot screen. Visual spectacle is in your face, the landscapes are breathtaking (such as in OHMSS and SF) and you pickup on the nuances of the perfomances better (like Craig's) - but the silly scenes and or broad over the top performances stick out even worse.
Goldeneye ended up seeing Ace ventura 2 instead as tickets were sold out!
What a gyp!
If that were the 1st Ace Ventura, that's a different story )
...TSWLM was my first big screen Bond. My grandparents took my older sisters to DAF and they rubbed in how cool Bond was before I knew who he was and it worked! I got to see TB and OHMSS a few years back with my son at a Bond festival in San Francisco, so I wish I could watch the others eventually (the parking and/or public transportation costs for all the older Bond movies on the different days of the festival would have been financially prohibitive, let alone the fact some days were school/work days). I wish they would show the digitally remastered films, perhaps even using the versions in the current Blu-Ray collection, since the big screen revival of digitally remastered modern classics like The Godfather, Grease and Raiders of the Lost Ark, is picking up in popularity.

Yep, I became a Bond fan at a young age watching FRWL on TV, and then became a fan of "Super-Bond" when GF was shown on TV, then much later, floored by the submarine Lotus literally at the front row because of a crowded theater...how much more coolness can a geeky, sci-fi addicted pre-teen take when MR came out! )

I did get to see both The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day in and am very pleased that I did. Both are favorites of mine.

I count myself SO lucky to have seen most all of them on the big screen.
