What’s your favourite James Bond Theme.

What’s your favourite James Bond theme and what do you think of the new Sam Smith one? Bits of it remind me of Earth Song Michael Jackson! Here’s a list of James Bond themes.

http://www.listal.com/list/james-bond-official-theme-songs

Jim Breeds… The new one is dire. Don’t really have a favourite – many of them are really good.

John Wide… Matt Monro From Russia with Love.

Alan Esdaile… Yes Matt Monro for me and also rather like Nancy Sinatra You Only Live Twice.

Mark Gilham… It’s got to be Goldfinger surely? The one and only Dame Bass. 🙂

Alan Pepper… Mine is Live and Let Die by Wings . Great music although the actual film didn’t live up to the soundtrack . That’s only my opinion…..

Tony Davis… I quite like Nobody Does It Better by Carly Simon but agree Dame Shirley is a real belter.

John Wilde… Love Carlys Nobody does it better. Not a fan of Bassey.

Matt Thomas… Definitely Carly Simon ‘Nobody Does It Better’ the first bond song that didnt have a same title as the film

Pete Fisher… Goldfinger was the first Bond film I ever saw, in the cinema in Hastings (with my Mum as it was “A” certificate), and the instrumental theme was the first thing I ever tried to play on the guitar…it was actually a session guy called Vic Flick on the recording, with the John Barry

Mark Rodrigues… Live and Let Die. Followed by Tomorrow Never Dies. Then A View to a Kill. Then Goldfinger. Diamonds are Forever. ACTUALLY OHMSS top.

Jeff Belton… 1) Skyfall 2) The Man With The Golden Gun 3) The Living Daylights 4) Goldeneye 5) Live And Let Die Could say them all, it was hard to pick my top 5.

Clive Garrard… Maccas live and let die, nobody does it better and from russia with love

Eric Harmer… I liked MATT mungos of mungo and Jerry fame doing from Russia with love

Will Cornell… I’m going to get ripped for this but Herb Albert’s take of the Bacharach “Casino Royale”. Probably the only thing good about the movie.

Pete Brazier… Thunderball

Dave Valentine… Nobody Does It Better. Not just my favourite Bond theme, but one of my all time favourite songs.

Roland Clarke… You only live twice, from Russia with love, casino royal, all the time in the world, nobody does it better, Live and let die, Goldfinger, nor in any particular order. Worst? Skyfall, awful dirge.

Jan Warren… “View to a Kill” by Duran Duran!!

Eco Jane… never watched a bond movie but fav song has to be Skyfall

Sir Roger Moore R.I.P.

Nick Prince… RIP Sir Roger Moore (October 1927-May 2017) Aged 89.

Keith Cowper… Sorry to see you go Mr Bond!

Alan Esdaile… I will always think of him as The Saint Simon Templar. R.I.P. Roger Moore.

Jake Nelson… What a shame. One of my childhood heroes, first as ‘Ivanhoe’, then as ‘The Saint’.

Wendy Weaver… I first saw him in The Miracle then as Ivanhoe, then as The Saint. He had some great parts and was so good in all of them. R.I.P

Mick O’Dowd… Goodnight Mr Bond! RIP

Robert Searle… Halo and goodbye RIP Roger Moore

Pete Prescott… What I loved about the man (apart from the usual cool, good actor stuff) was his charm and wit.
He was a very funny man in interviews who didn’t take himself too seriously. I would have loved to have met him. He told some wonderful stories. I was late heading home the last time I heard him (last year on radio 2’s Steve Wright show) I had to hear the end of his interview. Very funny. He lifted my mood. Made my day. Lovely man.

Dennis Torrance… Sad he is gone grew up watching the early Saint series and later his Bond films and the film Gold I remember and he was good on any chat show a true gentleman R.I.P sir Roger.

Clive Garrard… I loved “Randall and Hopkirk deceased” and “The Champions” on TV.I still think those programmes have stood the test of time even almost 50 years after they were made.Alexandra Bastedo was a Sussex lady.Roger Moore was also a very nice person.RIP Roger.

Janet Rennie… Yes I think so too . Charming lovely man .

Jan Warren… So sad that Roger Moore has gone, I really liked him, and as an actor remember all the tv series in the 60s, also he was my favourite James Bond, loved the humour he gave to it!! – R.I.P Roger Moore xx

Paul Dove… R I P James Bond,, Simon Templar, Roger Moore.

Jon McCallion… Very sad. Remembering the Saint

Jeanette Jones… I don’t remember which Bond film it comes from, but after a fight scene I remember an actress unfortunate enough to be given the line, ‘I’ve lost my charm’, Roger/Bond picked up the charm & gave it back to her with the line, ‘not from where I’m standing’. Sexist, exploitative, corny, porny, pudding & pie, it still makes me laugh out loud, when I think of it
