I have memories of being taken to a showing of "Dr No" as a tot of about 18 months/ 2 yrs. not for me to see but (natch!) with my mum and dad.

 

I was taken to see Disney's The Jungle Book at the age of about 2 1/2 at the Manor cinema (was Somerfield, now Tesco at Manor top).

 

Giving your age away there, PT!

but I'm still no'bbut babe in arms!

 

It was definitely a "Bond" film, it was definitely set somewhere exotic, with beautiful blue seas, and it was around 1966.

BoyFriday... it might have been "Thunderball", which had a 1965 release date, and has scenes set in the Bahamas...

..mine I think was The Sound of Music, the first 'good' film I saw in a cinema was Diamonds are Forever!

 

You weren't that little kid with the runny nose, constantly eating popcorn were you? If so I sincerely apologise for shoving your catapult in a place where it had to be surgically removed.

slightly older, BF... Thirty-four *cough, cough! *

 

I just remember beautiful white beaches, sean connery, and a beautiful blue sea, and a boat.... hehe

 

edit to add I presumed it had to be Dr No, despite a (?) 1962 (?) release date, because of the iconic Caribbean beach scenes, and the beautiful Ursula Undressed (*cough* ) coming out of the sea in that chamois bikini.
