^ Not cool.

 

[Skywalker]

All you haters can go to Hell!

Kudos on continuing the 007th rank, though.

 

[The Old Mixer]

Ah, now things get interesting....I can't complain about how well "The Living Daylights" did...while I appreciate it as the theme of one of my favorite Bond films, it's not one of my favorite Bond themes.

As for "You Know My Name"...also not a personal favorite, I think it went at about the right time. (I certainly don't hate it...I just like the other themes that are left more.) So last time the first Bond movie, Dr. No, was 007th...now the theme from the movie that relaunches the franchise, which was based on the first book, is 007th...a decent bit of symmetry.

I don't know why OHMSS is still on here. I'd vote the score to the movie near the top in a second, but the main title shouldn't have been an instrumental (although it is better than the abysmal Christmas Tree song in the movie).

The OHMSS theme uses the best cues from the score primarily the ski chase. Overall OHMSS is the best score in the Bond series. I prefer the scores to the title themes anyway.

 

[IJD GAF]

There is no reason that "You Only Live Twice" shouldn't be in the top three. I can understand a dislike for my other two favorites (Goldfinger is a tad cheesy, and You Know My Name is no showstopper). However, You Only Live twice is... beyond perfect.

IJD GAF, if you feel so strongly about "You Only Live Twice", perhaps you should have increased its score! I'll fix it for you.

Damn, I just noticed I haven't voted yet today.

And damn you bastards for eliminating "You Know My Name!" First "Goldfinger and now this.

I didn't think I would go this way, but I'm now all for "The World is Not Enough" for the win!!
