That double naught spy music really delivered that sense of tension and urgency. The sound track to “”Thunderball” has to be classic.

I liked Odd Jobs hat. The other thing that stuck me was when they crushed Auric’s gold car into a square and put it in the back of the Falcon. That thing would have done a wheel stand with all that weight.

Who can forget (I was 15 when Goldfinger came out), Shirley Bassey (spelling?) belting out the theme song "GOLDFINGER, duh duh, duhhh..."

I think my favorites are The World Is Not Enough by Garbage. It had a good video too.

Suprisingly, Nancy Sinatra’s You Only Live Twice was another good one because it was a very pretty song.

I’m with you. Shirley Bassey’s “Goldfinger” *is* the sound of Bond.

Funny, saw the movie just last week and didn’t remember the falcon scene until the magnet drops a two ton block into the back, and the Falcon drives off perfectly level. I had the same thought you did.

On Frazier, there was an amusing episode where Frasier, Niles and Martin Crane sing Goldfinger (from `` Shutout In Seattle'' in season 6).

Top 15 list in chronological order: [...]

Maybe just because it's top-of-mind since it was on last weekend but I'd add Lawrence of Arabia to the list as a personal favorite for the music which still lingers. On the other, considering the the metric is ``influential'', perhaps not.

I will second Nino Rota as a great film composer! He has the ability to create hauntingly beautiful music based on simple themes. La Strada just might be the best movie ever made. Of course, I am biased, since Anthony Quinn is my favorite actor.

I am wondering how Henry Mancini got left out of the list. Doesn't anyone remember Breakfast At Tiffany's?

Did Rota write anything for Cinema Paradiso? I’ve always thought it was Morricone alone. The kiss scene in the rain in CP with the fully-orchestrated theme = heaven.
