SCORES (in order):
1. The Living Daylights
2. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
3. From Russia, With Love
4. Goldfinger
5. Tomorrow Never Dies (I used to loathe this score more than any other film music, but now - after listening to the DVD ISO score - I love it. Still think more should've been included on the expanded CD, and Arnold's interview should've tossed out).SONG:
"The Living Daylights" (a-ha)FILM:
The Living DaylightsShall we list our favorite Bonds as well, or keep this score-related?

And incase anyone wants to know where Nelson fits into the Bond history:Nelson played 007 in the very first Bond outing, "Casion Royale," a one-hour, live television dramatization that was broadcast on the CBS Climax Mystery Theater on October 21, 1954, just over a year after the first novel was published. Set in Monte Carlo, Bond was an American agent fighting against Russian operatives, lead by Peter Lorre.

Pleasance: "He's gone! He's gone from here! The evil is gone!"(No relation to film music, but one of my all-time favorite movie quotes).
NP: Halloween - "Myers House" ***/***** (This score is pretty repetitive, but it's Carpenter, so I love it!!)

4. A View To A Kill (Duran x 2)
5. You Only Live Twice (Nancy Sinatra)Honorable Mention- 'Surrender' (k.d. lang) from Tomorrow Never Dies--boy can she belt it out! I think the producers should have left this as the Main Title song and stuck Sheryl Crow's song at the end.

Scores:YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE
FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE
GOLDFINGER
OCTOPUSSY
MOONRAKERSongs:
"We Have All The Time In The World" (Louis Armstrong)
"Nobody Does It Better" (Carly Simon)
"Goldfinger" (Shirley Bassey)
"You Only Live Twice" (Nancy Sinatra)
"For Your Eyes Only" (Sheena Easton)NP: WAVES OF SPRING (Masaru Sato)
y'know, on reflection, I like nearly all the songs. Tina Turner's "Goldeneye" is great, as is Duran Duran's "View to a Kill," and I personally adore Chrissie Hynde's "Where Has Every Body Gone" from LIVING DAYLIGHTS. I wouldn't turn up my nose at "Diamonds Are Forever" either -- hell, I guess I like ALL these songs. (Well, why else would I have all the albums, right?)
