I came across this predicament a few years back. My wife had never watched any of the Bond films and had labeled them as something she wouldn't enjoy... so I got her to watch one as an introduction but I struggled with which one to show her first. Personally, Roger Moore will always be my favorite, but for a first timer only OP came to mind to show her, or FYEO. In thinking just of a storytelling standpoint I decided to go with OHMSS. I chose wisely... even though she had never watched a Bond before, she knew the basic premise, and was expecting the usual hi-jinks/womanizing. It was a little to "60's" at times for her, and she referenced Austin Powers a few times. She was certainly surprised with the ending... just with the marriage, let alone Tracy's death. It was the kind of surprise that made her say, that was good, what happens next?
Keep in mind, I am 30, she is 26... so it wouldn't really be nostalgia for her to go back and watch the older films.
What would you choose as an introduction to the Bond franchise?
