Mr Bond Theme has left us.

Surely the most iconic and recognisable piece of music in cinematic history.

In truth, there's only a handful of Bond films that I like but that music draws me in every time. It's just brilliant.

It's a timeless piece I think too as in if you didn't know when it was written, would be hard to pin it down to a period in the last century. Also says a lot that it has been kept for all the films, and not re-written/given a make over as the years have gone by.
