1967 - James Bond - You only live twice: title sequence

JAMES BOND - Title sequence from Lewis Gilbert's 1967 film "You only live twice", starring Sean Connery as James Bond

Many of the iconic aspects of a typical James Bond film were established in Dr. No, beginning with what is known as the gun barrel sequence, an introduction to the character through the view of a gun barrel, and a highly stylized main title sequence, both created by Maurice Binder.

This is the only Bond theme song that I like more than Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger"

My favorite Bond vocal theme. In the phrasing, Nancy seems to channel her father. She was a fine singer, contrary to what many critics said. When I was very young, my mother and I used to do duets on "Something Stupid". To me, Nancy's finest performance

Coldplay made a version of this song!

John Barry composes the most beautiful movie scores, most certainly this one. The big surprise for me was the choice of Nancy Sinatra to do this theme. It was just OK, at the time I first heard it and I wasn't thrilled with the prospect of an Asian setting for a Bond flick. What a shallow perspective. Nancy would not be thrilled to hear me say that, in retrospect, this is her finest work. It so fits the movie which it turns out, wasn't sll that bad. The pretty intro helped.

The very best title song, thanks, Nancy. Best Bond movie: Live and Let Die.

Try to find a rental. Good luck. -- Netfix, Long, long wait. --Sx2
