  • At number 12, we have: SKYFALL From Skyfall Performed by ADELE. SF landed on every spot in the top 10 at least once, with the exception of the three highest places. It reached the 4th, the 5th, the 6th, the 8th, the 9th and the 10th s…
  • Reaching the top half, at number 13 we have: THUNDERBALL From Thunderball Performed by TOM JONES. Tom Jones’s TB effort received two bronze medals, as well as one 4th place, one 8th place and three 9th places. Only two members placed …
  • Our number 14: FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE THEME From From Russia with Love Performed by JOHN BARRY & ORCHESTRA. Six top 10 spots for this instrumental title track: one 4th place, two 6th’s, one 8th, one 9th and one 10th. Only one membe…
  • It’s top 15 time, beginning with number 15: MOONRAKER From Moonraker Performed by SHIRLEY BASSEY. The first of the three Bassey songs to go out, maybe also her lesser known Bond hit, but still with quite a few fans: it received one 3rd p…

  • I’m glad I never had such an experience. Personally I quite like both the HP books and the HP films. My generation grew up with those and I’m rather fond of them. Wouldn’t consider myself a fan in the sense that I’m a Bond fan, but I’d say HP …
  • I think I was the one putting it 4th, once again giving an entry its highest score. Unsurprisingly I really love this song. It’s my favourite of the Craig era.
  • Before we dive into the top 15, we first have a look at our number 16: NO TIME TO DIE From No Time to Die Performed by BILLIE EILISH. The latest addition to the series received two top 5’s: one 4th and one 5th place. There was also one m…

  • Like most things TWINE, I’m also quite fond of its title song. I listen to it quite often.
  • Our number 17: THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH From The World Is Not Enough Performed by GARBAGE. Three bottom 5’s were counted for TWINE, the lowest of those was a 26th place. There were equally as many top 10’s: one 4th place, one 7th place…

  • DarthDimi wrote: » I wonder why Kamen didn't use the song in the score. Or a little Patti. For the record, I'm a nostalgic fan of If You Asked Me To. I know some people hate that song or find it inappropriate for a Bond film, but I don't. It takes…
  • Right, moving on with our number 18: LICENCE TO KILL From Licence to Kill Performed by GLADYS KNIGHT. Four top 10’s for Gladys Knight’s Bond song were noted: one 6th, two 9th’s and one 10th spot. She ended up in only two bottom 5’s, b…
  • Adding a few of mine, on top of those I already mentioned: Stella Blómkvist from the eponymous Icelandic tv series. Antonio di Pietro and Veronica Castelli from the brilliant Italian tv show 1992. And how could I forget Boromir from LOTR…

  • Moving onwards with our number 19: FOR YOUR EYES ONLY From For Your Eyes Only Performed by SHEENA EASTON. The highest rating for Oscar-nominated FYEO in this contest was one 5th place. Additionally one 9th place was also noted. There …

  • At number 20, we have: TOMORROW NEVER DIES From Tomorrow Never Dies Performed by SHERYL CROW. The title song for Pierce #2 featured in one top 10, which was a 7th place. Most members, 18 to be exact, placed it somewhere in the higher …

  • Tomorrow it’s top 20 time, but today we still have to discuss our number 21: ALL TIME HIGH From Octopussy Performed by RITA COOLIDGE. The first title song that doesn’t mention the title in its lyrics just misses out on the top 20. One…
  • Personally I find it quite catchy, but that might be just me.
  • Glad you enjoyed it @DarthDimi! Now onto our number 22: THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN From The Man with the Golden Gun Performed by LULU. Lulu’s title song for TMWTGG received one last place and seven more bottom 5’s. Nine participan…
  • Before we reveal today’s participant, I came across this Bond medley, covering all EON title songs (though with WHATTITW and Monro’s FRWL instead of those films’ title tracks), and thought it was worth sharing:
  • Updating my list here as well: Dario Argento 1. Tenebre 2. Suspiria 3. Phenomena 4. Profondo rosso 5. Il gatto a nove code Luc Besson 1. Subway 2. Nikita 3. Le grand bleu 4. Léon 5. Jeanne d’Arc Michelangelo Antonioni 1. L’ecliss…
  • Completing our bottom 5, but with its head held high is: CASINO ROYALE THEME From Casino Royale (1967) Performed by HERB ALPERT & THE TIJUANA BRASS. Clearly the winner in the non-EON duel with his own wife’s NSNA, and also triumphing…
  • As already anticipated by many, our number 24 is: ANOTHER WAY TO DIE From Quantum of Solace Performed by JACK WHITE & ALICIA KEYS. Four bottom finishes were noted for QOS’s title track, along with seven more bottom 5’s. This one d…
