This is the movie that turned me onto Bond films.

I'd never seen a Bond movie, until one day in the early 80s I got sick and stayed home from work. For Your Eyes Only came on HBO, and I enjoyed the opening scene where Bond tossed the guy down the smokestack.
Loved the entire movie, especially Lynn-Holly Johnson's character. I've been a Bond fan ever since, and my son, who's now 30, is an even bigger Bond fan than me.
The movie still holds a special place in my heart.

Cool. This film was also one of my first Bond experiences. I was immediately hooked with the helicopter scene .

Got bored one day in the 90's. I was about 13 and was rooting through movies looking for something to watch and thought this looked interesting. I got hooked on all my parents Bond films shortly after.
