The James Bond thread

[Railrunner130]

I've said it several times before - James Bond movies are ALWAYS released in November. I don't know why, but they are.

Therefore, expect one more change.

They are but that wasn't the plan with this one, initially. Had it not been for Covid, it would have been released of April of last year.

What are your favorite Bond movie songs? Here are my top 3:

Forgot about the Carly Simon tune, great song.

Almost as good as a wet Barbara Bach...but not quite.

What are your favorite Bond movie songs? Here are my top 3:

I don't know about the Adele song, but the other two are spot on. I'll add "For Your Eyes Only" to the mix.

Nobody Does It Better is perfect James Bond. It's being sung like Carly Simon is a typical Bond girl, in love, dreamy, full of total admiration and vicariously cocky.

I really wish VH had the opportunity to do a Bond song. I'm not sure they would've been able to successfully perform the "James Bond Theme" as a band, but it would have been interesting to hear an attempt.

I think Ed could have done something great with the Mission Impossible theme song.

A View To A Kill has a great theme song, but the movie wasn't very good. Grace Jones as a Bond girl?

I liked Christopher Walken he was good.

The late Tonya Roberts was horrible too.

I always enjoy watching and listening to Christopher Walken. The movie itself was just kind of meh.

I actually like this song for Licence To Kill too. Gladys Knight I believe? That was pretty good. I think The Man With The Golden Gun theme is good too it’s funny.

I actually think most of the theme songs are good. Yeah the Madonna one does suck though.

#1 - Casino Royale - great theme song coupled with great visuals.
#2 - Skyfall
#3 - Live And Let Die
I also really like the theme from "You Only Live Twice" but the above three are just better.

Worst - tie between the one done by Madonna (Die Another Day) and the one done by Jack White and Alicia Keys (Quantum of Solace).

Bonus: the original demo for "Goldeneye" by U2 which was sung by Tina Turner in the finished version-

I like the Tina Turner version better. That’s another really good song too. And I say that as someone who can’t stand U2.

Like I said I like most of the theme songs I think they’re all pretty cool actually. There’s a couple that are really bad, but not very many.
