    Interesting choices. Props for mentioning Klau Maria Brandauer's Largo in Never Say Never Again. I think he's much more interesting than the Thunderball version. And I'm a big fan of k.d. lang's "Surrender", but since it isn't the official theme song for Tomorrow Never Dies, I don't know if I would include it on this list (although if it had been rated properly by the filmmakers in the first place, it would have been the theme song, so maybe it belongs on this list afterall!)

    You know, that's an excellent point. In that case, I'd nominate "The Man with the Golden Gun." It has inane lyrics, but the song itself is pretty good.

    I agree. I like the melody, especially the slower, instrumental version we hear at various points during the movie.
