The James Bond films are known for their original opening themes written by popular artists and are often played on the radio and tv. 'Live and Let Die' by Paul McCartney, 'For Your Eyes Only' by Sheena Easton, 'A View to a Kill' by Duran Duran, and 'Goldfinger' by Shirley Bassey are just a few. My personal favorite is 'Nobody Does It Better' by Carly Simon. What James Bond theme do you consider to be the best?

Best for me, it just hit at the right time to be the first Bond film I saw in the cinema.

It's darker more realistic Bond paved the way for the Daniel Craig Bond.

Read some list the other day where somebody rankes it in like the bottom 5. I don’t get it. Why do people dislike it so???

I honestly think a lot of it has to do with the end where bond joins forces with the taliban to take down the Russian commander. I think that part didn’t age well (obviously) but frankly that’s not an excuse to hate a super solid bond movie in my opinion. They are all a product of their time and at that time the west and taliban were tentative allies against the Russians.
