Which bond film(s) were released during your childhood?

When exactly does childhood end? What age?

I was born in '85, and I've been thinking lately that there wasn't really any bond films released during my childhood, which I consider to be circa 1991-1993.... the closest to that would be LTK '(89) and GE ('95). Probably too young to even remember/know about LTK, so I suppose GE probably wins here.

What about you?

    When you have a bar mitzvah. -{

    You're definitely still in your childhood during Brosnan's first two films.

    Hmm, according to this google search "at what age does childhood end": https://www.google.co.uk/#q=at+what+age+does+childhood+start

    TLD I'd be classed as "Infant"
    LTK = "Early Childhood"
    GE = "Middle Childhood"
    TND-DAD = "Adolescent"
    CR onwards = Adult

    And I was born in the year of AVTAK... but about 3 months after it was released

    Interesting. I really do wonder what a 3rd Dalton film in the early 90's would have been like...

    I was born in '98, so TWINE, DAD, CR, QOS, SF and now Spectre. I've watched the films since I'm 5 or 6 years old and I saw QOS and SF in the cinema, same will be for SP. The four year break between QOS and SF was way too long as a young kid. What was I trilled to Skyfall, bet I wasn't the only one in 2012, same goes for Spectre which I'll the on the Dutch premiere day :)

    Regrettably, my first bond at the cinema was DAD.

    It could have been TND, I was old enough, but I probably didn't look it, so I might have not got in. Plus, I only just became a bond fan that year anyway.

    For some reason, I didn't go to see TWINE at the cinema. I wish I did now, would much rather have had that as my first cinema bond than DAD.

    My actual age is 30.... but in my mind I feel HALF my age. And my body feels TWICE my age! :))

    Would it be fair to say then that GE was my childhood bond? (Born in 85)
    Or would you class it as LTK?

    That reminds me of Goldfinger (KFC prominently in a shot), which also reminds me that as a kid I loved KFC, but I only ate the breaded skin, not the actual chicken meat. I was a strange child.

    You were too young for LTK, as was I. GE was your childhood Bond, as was TND. GE, TND and TWINE were my childhood Bonds.

    Not really. Everyone knows the skin is the best part! (Or at least everyone with highly developed palates such as ours! :)))

    That's about the same as mine. I was born in 1984. :) -{

    I suppose the following:

    MR
    FYEO
    OP
    AVTAK
    TLD
    LTK

    After that GE came out when I was 18.

    Born in '73, so all of Moore's and Dalton's (I saw the last 3 in the cinemas, and I did see TSWLM with my family when I was about 3 or 4, but hardly remembered the whole thing back then :p ).
