maqroll Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I really liked The Jack White/Alicia Keys tune. Also the Duran Duran one is a guilty pleasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Live and Let Die obviously google will ruin this and everyone will claim to know anyway , but can you name the first Bond theme to get to number one in the singles chart ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Quite a few I like and there are some truly forgettable ones. In no order, some of my favourites are: Licence to Kill, Live and Let Die, You Only Live Twice, Goldfinger, Skyfall, A View to a Kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 View to a kill classic 80s Duran Duran License to Kill. Originally Gladys Knight didn't want to take on this song, because it contained the word 'kill' which she wasn't comfortable singing. Fact!

bickster Posted September 30, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 30, 2021 Goldfinger, Thunderball and DIamonds are Forever The best Bond themes are Welsh EDIT: Taking it further all the best Bond themes are from Glamorgan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Anyone ready to talk about the film yet or am I the only person who's seen it having just got out the pictures? First thoughts are that it's really really good. You can tell Daniel Craig himself has a heavy hand in the story arc. It borrows alot regards it's themes from OHMSS. And certainly bits of the Dark Knight. The two bits the reviews are saying will have fans agahst I wouldn't say are plot twists as such and I double guessed certainly one of them. It's worth seeing, but Casino Royale is certainly Craig's best Bond. I'd say this is almost on a par with Skyfall. Probably less dull in places than Skyfall got which I felt dragged at times. And as for the running time, it didn't feel like a 2hr 46min film at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a real soft spot for The Spy Who Loved Me theme Nobody Does It Better by Carly Simon though I was going to post the same. There have been very few dogshit Bond themes apart from Die Another Day, which is a scissors abortion (and so is the film). I think Goldeneye is a bit underrated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Thunderball by Johnny Cash. (wasn't used). That aside, all the time in the world, end titles to OHMSS and Live and Let Die. Do love lots though so just because it's these tomorrow it could be others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Caution !! Comments from an elderly person ! Some may have heard of/remember an ace B/ham band called The Move - numerous hits in the 60's. They used to open their spot with a great instrumental version of 'Dr No'. Also Bond fans might like to listen to this. I played it in a Soul Band I was in for a short period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
