    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.

    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

    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.

    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).

    Overrated: Personal ranking lists particularly for explaining why a movie/actor is good.

    Example: Actor XX should have made at least one more movie

    Reply: XX is great, his movies are all in my top 5 8-)

    I can see a plane ticked being booked, by a certain American Bond fan. So he
    Can come over in person to deliver a good " ass kicking" :))

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