What are your favourite songs from the James Bond movies?

Mine are, in no particular order:

 

1. Nobody Does It Better (The Spy Who Loved Me)

2. You Only Live Twice

3. Tomorrow Never Dies

4. Goldeneye

I always liked "Live and Let Die" as well as "A View to a Kill" and "The Living Daylights".

 

I also liked "Surrender" which was played over the closing credits of "Tomorrow Never Dies" much better than the actual theme song for that one.

I like the old instrumental theme songs better, so I will have to go with From Russia With Love and On Her Majestys Secret Service. If I had to pick a theme song with words then I will go with Live and Let Die.

There are words to From Russia with Love. Sinatra sings it.

I thought we were talking about the the songs that plays in the opening credits. In From Russia With love there is a song that plays in the opening credits (after the pre title sequence) that is an intrumental that is still used today. The song you are talking about plays at the end of the movie.

It's not Sinatra either.

 

 

I like a bunch, but I'd go with Nobody does it better.

Oh, sorry about that. I thought we were just talking movie themes in general from the films. Thanks for the correction. And yes it is Sinatra, because I have it downloaded on my computer and I got it from a site that had the single cover of Sinatra in the studio recording it.

 

And for some reason I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the Moonraker theme too.

Ok, just did some quick research. Apparently the theme in the movie and that appears on the soundtrack album is by a guy named Matt Munro, who sounds a lot like Sinatra. The place I got it from had it mislabeled and I never listened to it that closely. So my bad, thanks. I'd have to go back and try to find that site again to see what the cover of him is from, because I swear they had an album cover of Sinatra in the studio recording it with the song.

Live and Let Die is my favorite. I liked A View To A kill in the beginning but I've grown tired of it in recent years. Of the Pierce Brosnan era, I really like The World Is Not Enough.

The worst is All Time High from Octopussy.

Man, if something is worse than "Die Another Day" then I HAVE to hear it...

I don't think anything could be worse than "Die Another Day", that song was so just so crap. I mean "All Time High" isn't good but it's certainly not worse than "Die Another Day". What made them think that was a good song?

Because it's so deliciously cheesy?

Maybe that's it. I think they tried to do a similar thing with All Time High, but it was just too bad. And I personally don't find Die Another Day to be all that bad. I don't find it good, but All Time High is one of the gayest and generic songs I've ever heard.

Apart from the themes for OHMSS, LALD, YOLT, TLD, AVTAK, and GE. I like the James Bond Theme itself, the 007 Alternate theme, and "We Have all the Time in the World."

FRWL as appears in the film was sung by Matt Munro, not Frank Sinatra.

 

YOLT was sung by Nacy Sinatra, however.
