My Dad was a big Bond fan--long before I'd seen a Bond movie, he'd be whistling "Goldfinger" and making 007 references. Of course, my fanaticism far dwarfed his later on.

My parents liked watching the films…in fact one of their first dates (if not the first) was going to see Dr. No at the cinema…but I wouldn’t say they influenced me in any way…my Bond obsession has been tolerated at best since 😁
I've seen a couple of Bond movies with my dad, but it could be any foreign Bond movie to him. My family isn't intersted in Bond movies as far as I know.
Most definitely. On my family WhatsApp group, whenever anyone has good news/luck/fortune it’s usually a race for the first person to type out “That’ll keep you in curry for a few weeks, won’t it?”
Yep. A love of cinema in general has run in my family since my great grandfather owned a theater in Chile in the 1950s, also starred in a number of Chilean films (my sister studied film in school, and I’ve made about 100 micro short films myself).
But to stick to the question, my grandfather liked James Bond films, my dad likes James Bond films, and I like James Bond films.

Not really, it's more the opposite in my family.
It absolutely runs/ran in my family. My parents were huge Bond fans and instilled that love in me and my siblings.
