I'm 31
was always aware of the bond films, but the thing that made me a big fan originally was Goldeneye the computer game on the N64 - I know that sounds a little strange but it is true. I got addicted to that game and then decided to buy and watch all the Bond films in order
I'm 27, and I've been a Bond fan as long as I can remember. My father had almost every movie (up until Dalton, this was the mid-80s) on VHS when I was younger, and I watched them religiously, without any real concept of plot or direction. I caught the Dalton movies a few years later on ABC Friday Night Special (and later on endless TBS Bond marathons). Unfortunately, I caught the longest Bond draught in history... and finally got to see my first Bond on the silver screen in 1995 (Goldeneye).
I think it was about 1997 or so that I finally picked up the Ian Fleming novels, and to be frank, the movies have been secondary ever since. Why, I read Live and Let Die last night in one sitting, no joke. The movies fail to excite me as much as re-reads of the original adventures do. Though, I will say, Casino Royale is probably the best cinema-serving of Commander Bond to date.

Well, happy birthday Mark Hazard -{
I'm a few years behind you - but, alas, too few for my liking
I started loving 007 in 1977 when I was taken to see TSWLM but I didn't fall asleep before the end.
Didn't fully understand the stories until I was erm like about 20 though!!
