Same here. It was the first Bond film that I saw without my parents or older siblings. It will always have a special place in my heart. The title song is also very high on my favorite film songs as I love that song sequence at the beginning of the film. They played it constantly back in the day on the radio.Goldfinger has always been my favorite Bond, as a kid and as an adult. The mania for Bond was so wild when it was released that 007 was just about all any of us could talk about. And that's when UA wisely began reissuing the first two Bonds in double feature pairings with themselves first and then later with Goldfinger and Thunderball.
It would be fun to speculate on how much those early films have made back their costs so many times over.
