My favourite is Carly Simon's Nobody Does It Better - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaV-6qerkqI

Wings' Live and Let Die is a close second.  Shirley Bassey's Goldfinger and Nancy Sinatra's You Only Live Twice are good, too.

    All The Time In The World. Arguably the most interesting Bond movie too.

    My favourite too, first Bond film I saw at the cinema.

    Of all my Christmas presents as a kid, the one I remember as the best was the Corgi Lotus Esprit from the film. I was so excited when I opened it.

    I’ve still got it, well, my daughter has. She took it into school when they were learning about toys throughout the ages a couple of years ago.

    Live and Let Die.

    I also like Goldeneye.  Might be a first-one-I-watched sort of thing but I like the little dum dum-dum dum bit, it's atmospheric.

    Live and Let Die. (Apart from the line "And in this ever-changing world in which we live in". But I always just assumed that was Linda's one contribution to the lyrics).

    The greatest and most evocative piece of film music is Monty Norman’s James Bond Theme,  

    As far as the films themes are concerned, it’s obvious to any Bond fan that the top 5 is as follows:

    1 Goldfinger
    2 Live and Let Die
    3 Diamonds are Forever 
    4 Thunderball
    5 Skyfall

    honourable mentions go to

    You Only Live Twice
    All the Time in the World
    You know my Name
    and
    From Russia with Love

    I don't have an opinion on this, not being a Bond fan. But if you ever get the chance to see Neil Brand's Music That Made The Movies, it's well worth a look. How, every Bond song has to be capable of incorporating the main Bond theme. It's clever stuff.

    Am I the only one that liked A-Ha's The Living Daylights?

    Even more controversially, I also thought Timothy Dalton was quite a good Bond, certainly far better than Brosnan and Lazenby.

    Live and Let Die probably the best theme tune though.

    From Russia with Love. Because it's Matt Monro. 

    Lots of other good ones though.
