Originally Posted By brotherdave Nobody Does It Better got my vote, but I love all of the Bond songs! Love Carly Simon!!!

Originally Posted By BlueDevilSF I can't pick just one, as there have been so many good ones. It's easier to pick the not-so-good ones: "All Time High" (Octopussy) "License to Kill" "We Have All the Time in the World" (On Her Majesty's Secret Service) They're not *bad* songs on their own; I just don't think they fit a Bond movie. I love the opening to "Die Another Day" but then it devolves into a club dance mix and turned me off completely. I think "GoldenEye" is the best of the "modern" Bond songs, with "The World is Not Enough" following close behind. For one of the classics, I'd have to pick "You Only Live Twice."

Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs I agree that the 1967 version of Casino Royale had a good soundtrack. TRIVIA: The music used when Mata Bond is escaping from Berlin is the same music used for Stewie's "sexy parties" on Family Guy.
Originally Posted By ToonKirby The only thing good about that "Casino Royale" was the music. What a horrible movie.
Originally Posted By brotherdave Agreed. What a horrid mess that movie was.

The only truly funny scene I remember is when Woody Allen was escaping over a wall from a firing squad and landing on the other side in front of another firing squad! I also agree, the music was the best part of the movie. Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass rocked!!!
