I don't mean "which one was the one you've seen most recently?"
I mean, out of the however-many-that-existed the first time you got caught up, which one took you the longest to get around to seeing?
For me it was Diamonds Are Forever, an absolute clusterfrak of a film to go out on. I recently bought another copy of it because someone (*cough* my sister *cough*) lost our original copy and, having re-evaluated films like OHMSS and Quantum of Solace and even The Living Daylights, I thought I'd be fair and revisit Diamonds as well.
It still sucks.
For my best friend it was A View to a Kill. Yikes.
Somehow my lucky dog of a cousin managed to expose himself to twenty other Bond Films before getting around to From Russia With Love, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and, and I kid you not, The Spy Who Loved Me.
Yes, really. OHMSS I can understand, as that film has an awful reputation it in no way deserves. But the other two? Really?
I mean, seriously, The Spy Who Loved Me is the film you should show someone who's never seen a Bond Film, because the only problem with saying "this is a Bond Film" is that your friend will come away thinking they're all that good.
