First movie I watched at the bioscope was a james bond movie. . Can't remember which one cause I kept on running ouy to check if it was still light outside. (I remember something about a head in a crocodile)

 

First movie I watched at the drive-in was ET and I hid behind the car seat cause ET freaked me out big time, scary looking thing that, had nightmare for ages.. eventually watched it as an adult. . Still freaked me out.[emoji12]

Let me guess.......Moonraker ?

Otherwise you are still quite young, because the croc head was in Octopussy .

Timothy Dalton doesn't do it for me - although I still enjoy both movies.

 

Connery has to be No.1

Craig second

Moore and Brosnan can fight it out for third

and poor Lazenby - didn't do enough for me to compare with any of them. Think Dalton and Lazenby can fight it out for the wooden spoon/mic/script.

 

Then there's the Bond girls... much harder to stack in order.

 

I didn't mind Moore that much. A view to kill was one of the first movies I remember watching as a kid. I think it was when I was old enough to sit and pay attention long enough to actually watch a movie. It was when I first noticed Christopher Walken. Who till this day is one of my favorite actors of all time. He was such a brilliant villain too. But I will always remember him for his cameo appearance in Pulp Fiction. Its just one of those scenes where you just cannot picture any other actor in that role or who would have been able to pull it off the way he did

Has anyone here ever watched Once ?

Negative!

Write up sounds like something the wife would watch, so IF it ever appears on DStv then she'll definitely want to watch it.

I definitely remember A View to a Kill, but the old folks said we went to the drive-in (Malvern) to watch Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only, as well as Octopussy.

 

I also remember "the gods must be crazy (1980)".

The first movie I can remember seeing was Tora! Tora! Tora!

 

It was showing at the Astra cinema in Orange Grove in 1971. My Grandfather took me and my big brother to watch it.

 

It must have been a fairly uncomfortable experience for him. He was taken as a POW by the Japanese in the defence of Hong Kong. The Japanese tortured all the prisoners unmercifully and my GrandDad was lucky to live through it.

Most people not in to music will find it utterly boring and slow.

It's one of my favourite movies, it's all about the music.

Glen Hansard from the Frames acts in a leading role.

 

This song won many awards .
