#1 What is the best Bond opening theme (Part 2)?

Post by The Minx »

Since the first poll has been open three weeks and we have (finally!) got a number of votes there, it's time to move on to the next seven opening sequences! :smile:

Here are the title sequences from the Roger Moore era:

EDIT: I'm wondering whether I should include Never Say Never Again, it's not an "official" Bond, but still... :???:

I'm going to go with Moonraker for this batch.


Duran Duran somehow doesn't do it for me. :smile:

For Your Eyes Only, because frankly, past the songs I don't give an aeronautically travelling act of procreation about those sequences.
They're eye candy so you don't get bored while the credits roll.
'I wonder how far the barometer sunk.'-'All der way. Trust me on dis.'
'Go ahead. Bake my quiche'.
'Undead or alive, you're coming with me.'
'Detritus?'-'Yessir?'-'Never go to Klatch'.-'Yessir.'
'Many fine old manuscripts in that place, I believe. Without price, I'm told.'-'Yes, sir. Certainly worthless, sir.'-'Is it possible you misunderstood what I just said, Commander?'
'Can't sing, can't dance, can handle a sword a little'

'Hello, inner child. I'm the inner babysitter.'

And is it just me or does Lulu's voice sound unusually high in that video? (WRT the 'The Man with a Golden Gun' video).
I haven't seen the movie in quite a while but my CD version of that song has her voice being noticeably lower.

Ahem. Yes, so: one vote per movie, except for the Man With The Golden Gun (which is hardly surprising, since that wasn't anything special). This is a bit of a problem, since we don't have a clear winner for this round.

Does anyone want to cast the tiebreaker vote? :smile:

I've already voted for "The Spy Who Loved Me" :( Although Live and Let Die was also a great theme (kind of a weak film though).

As it turns out, I hadn't voted yet, so I'll cast the tiebreaker.

Since I has already voted for Moonraker, I couldn't break the tie either. :(

Oh, well, third list is up. ^^
