But this song isn't very acclaimed by Bond fans to begin with. That's like saying A View to a Kill is an overrated movie. Or that "Nobody Does It Better" is an underrated song. You may think Another Way to Die is a bad song. I don't agree with that opinion, but I can understand it. But overrated. No.

Absolutely_Cart

I should put up or shut up though.

1) Live and Let Die (if it were Moore's 3rd or 4th film, it wouldn't be many people's first Bond)
2) Sean Connery (by the general public ; not AJB)
3) Honey Ryder (she's a 10 year old girl in a 25 year old's body)
4) The Goldfinger Aston Martin
5) Wint and Kidd (they are good, but mostly because DAF is bad otherwise)
6) Goldfinger (still really good but not #1)
7) "I must be dreaming..."
8) N/A

MilleniumForce

Movie - Dr No/Thunderball
Actor - Sean Connery
Woman - Honey Ryder/Tracy Bond
Gadget - Ejector Seat in DB5
Henchmen - N/A
Villain - Blofeld (all three)
One Liner - Shocking. Positively Shocking.
Theme Song - Goldfinger/Nobody Does it Better/Moonraker/The World is Not Enough

I don't mean to be contrarian ) but I can't stand "Nobody Does it Better." Just thinking about it brings me out in hives.

Excuse me while I go and get some calamine lotion.

I agree with a lot of what Gassy Man says, but here are mine:

1) Movie
Goldeneye

2) Actor
Daniel Craig

3) Woman
Elektra King

4) Gadget
Rebreather from Thunderball

5) Henchman
Boris

6) Villain
Alec Trevelyan

7) One-Liner
I can't really pick one. I'm a big fan of most one-liners.

8) Theme Song
"Nobody Does It Better". I think it's a bit overrated as Bond theme, though I still think it's a fantastic song. Just when I think of Bond themes, I like them to have John Barry's Bond sound, which David Arnold was very successful at continuing.

You're right, of course, Cart. It's just part of a running joke- a certain person here loves the song and I like to slag it off whenever possible (a bit like mentioning Dalton to a certain other person).

Recently watching Thunderball, Goldfinger looks so much more sophisticated, to
TB with its screen swipes etc.
