How Often Do People Watch Bond Films?

I'm on a bit of a roll with them at the moment, probably in anticipation of SKYFALL. After its release my eagerness will probably drop off a bit. On average I tend to put on a DVD every couple of months. At the moment it's every couple of days! :))
I never bother with the ITV screenings. I just don't see the point. Unlike Vargas. ;)

    Admittedly, not very often. Life gets in the way ... :(

    I try to put on a DVD every few months, but I don't always find time for it.

    Not too often. They're on telly sometimes. I wouldn't go overboard before Skyfall, you'll be sated when it comes round.

    I used to watch them a lot, Now If they're on TV I'll watch some bits.
    Although I do intend to watch them all one again when the Blu-ray
    box set is released. :D

    I watch one every couple of months or so. I never watch the edited versions on television, but sometimes when one is on it will inspire me to pop in the DVD.

    I tend to go through a phase every year or two when I rewatch most/all of the Bond films in a relatively short period. The only Bond movie I have rewatched in the last couple of months was Casino Royale '67! :p

    I watched a ton of them during the July Encore Bondfest. When the Blu set arrives I will probably watch the ones that have not been released. Then see if I still have the hunger.

    That film is my guilty pleasure ;%

    I kinda like the fact that it's a bit of a mess and it tends to jump styles...the music is excellent...and some of it IS brilliantly written...

    Well to each his own, Sir Miles, but to me the '67 version of Casino Royale is a prime example of one of filmdom's cardinal sins - an UNFUNNY comedy! The first time I saw it I chuckled slightly twice - both times at Woody Allen. I have tried several times since then to sit through the whole movie again, but I just can't. It's just excruciating watching all of the aimless flailing about that goes on during the course of a film that is straining so hard to be funny, and failing spectacularly.

    Maybe a couple of times a year, at most 3-4 annually. Frankly, I'd rather watch things I haven't seen before. And honestly, there are other films that hold up better to repeat viewings.

    My viewing varies rather a lot. At times I have watched them almost on a daily basis, at other times a year or more has passed without seeing any of them. More often than not I do not watch the whole film. It usually depends on how highly I rate a particular film, the mood I am in, and the spare time I have available.

    I watch them sometimes at night when the family is in bed. I watched Octopussy recently and From Russia with Love...

    I watch a few every year or so. I suppose I've seen them too much really. I tend to put one on, then find I've started jobs around the house, or the wife and kids have come back in - or if I stay up and watch one, I inevitably drift off and wake up with the film long finished, the room cold, and arse-ache from sleeping in the chair... :#
