As per the title, really keen to show my oldest her first Bond film, but needs to be something fun and not too heavy going.

Any thoughts?

Probably a Roger Moore one, they're a bit more slapstick and less serious.

Man with the golden gun?

No scary, nightmare inducing villain plus the comedy element of Sheriff J.W.

Wouldn’t be taking a young girl at all, there are some somewhat racy scenes in them. You don’t want to be covering her eyes do you?

My 10-year-old loved Goldfinger. The Pussy Galore reference went right over his head. When I was a kid in the 70s Bond films were on every weekend at some point and I don’t remember ever being scared/scarred by any of the earlier ones.

Before getting into Bond you should start with 'Our Man Flint' and 'In Like Flint' as the perfect scene setters.

I think my girls were maybe 8 & 9 when I started showing them JB movies, and we watched them in order.

Do you really need help from total strangers on which Bond film is best for your child?
