Both for me. Really good movie and an awesome game. Used to love playing split-screen and raping my mates with sticky-bombs.

I've probably only seen it two or three times, but still...
Sean Bean as 006.
Bungee jumping off the side of a dam.
Famke Janssen and the legs of death.
The weird-ass looking train.
James Bond riding a tank through a city.
"I AM INVINCIBLE!"
Helicopter with ejection pod.
Sean Bean falling to his death at Arecibo Observatory.

I liked him as bond but the only movie of his I liked was Goldeneye. The others were super cheese.

Goldeneye massively reinvigorated a nearly dead franchise.
Bond movies had come out once a year, or every other year since the beginning.. then A view to a kill 1985 $50,327,960, The Living daylights 1987 $51,185,897, License to Kill in 1989 $34,667,015.
Six years later for Goldeneye in 1995. $106,429,941
Goldeneye was pretty great. We could certainly argue on how well its held up. not much from the 90's really does. some of it does. the dam scene. bungee and plane. sean bean entirely. the tank. as noted. Famke in her prime. great theme song.
First bond movie. no fucking idea. no way it was in theatres. it would have been Dr. No, or something on tv. May have been Octopussy on hbo or something. that would have been about the right time period. can't say I remember how much the older ones were shown on networks or hbo, cinemax, etc before USA got them.
was goldeneye the first one I saw I theatres? I doubt I would have gone to see any of the Dalton ones.

HBO played the shit out of the Bond films, Thunderball, For Your Eyes Only and Moonraker especially. they were on almost daily. not sure why on Thunderball. that movie wasnt very good.

don't remember that trick, this the style cable box we had, but with few channels
my uncle was good with electronics and made filters, like the size of fat cigar

there was a trick, you could watch the pay channels by putting the dial between channels just right. it could take ten minutes of fiddling with it, but at the end you would get free HBO or whatever channel all day, just dont change the fucking dial!

Loving that picture.
Only When I Laugh was a fairly funny British sitcom in the 80s.
I remember the first time I travelled to the States back in '97 and was sitting in a bar in Camp Curry, Yosemite and some random woman says, "I love your Brit humour, Mrs Slocombe and her pussy!"
I was like, how the fuck do these people know about an obscure British comedy programme from the 70s?! You finally answered my question.

PBS also aired a ton of brit comedy shows during the 70s and 80s. i mean how else would we know about Monty Python, The Goodies, Fawlty Towers, East Enders and Benny Hill? Benny Hill was such a hit here that they imported a lot of stuff including the Paul Hogan Show , years before he did that Crocodile movie.
final note about Benny Hill, after they cancelled his show he died alone and penniless, they should have brought him to the US. everyone i knew at school loved that shit.
oh and that first movie listed, S.O,B.. that movie is known as the only film Julie Andrews pops out her titties. it was glorious.

I grew up with all bonds on vhs and loved them as a child. The vilains were always over the top and I guess kids dig that, they can identify it. Then goldeneye came and that was the first "modern" james bond i saw, so for me it's still #1. It got everything : hot women, space stuff, russian, etc. what else do you want ?
I never liked Craig's movies. In casino royal I was expecting a fucking epic poker game, all tense and stuff, and I was really disappointed on how weak it felt.

that sucks. in the 80's, some people protested and got it removed from my local pbs. think most of them were censored for the most part already.
