    OHMSS is my favourite film, but I can't help but agree with some of the above comments. I think the titles are the weakest part of the film. Showing clips of previous Bond films just feels lazy to me.

    I'll be honest, my voting is based not just on the visuals of the title scenes but also how they're incorporated with the music.

    The best ones are clearly cut to match queues in the music. I see them as 3 minutes pop videos.

    My order of preference here would be quite different to that of just the title music. GE for instance is a song I can take or leave but along with the visuals give us a stunning update of the Binder aesthetic.

    I'm surprised DN is about to go out so early. Sure the formula had not been established, but the silhouettes definitely set a tone and the random dots are just cool.

    I've always had a problem with GF because it gives away scenes of the movie. I'm okay with visual imagery depicting what may come in the movie (Volcano images in YOLT), but actually showing film from the movie doesn't work for me.

    For me, it's because it is so uneven. It's as if they couldn't decide whether it was supposed to be one thing or another. It goes from sensual with a sense of danger to funky to funny to Idunno. I can't make heads nor tails of it. I'm glad they ended up deciding on one of the many options they crammed into the DN intro.

    The main title sequences really shouldn't be judged on the basis of either their visuals or their audio alone, but on how they exist in the films: a combination of the two. This isn't a competition of the best title songs, nor is it a competition of the best silhouettes dancing to silence.

    @roko, you have copied an old list.
    This seems to happen a lot to me. It's as if when I go on the site, it hasn't loaded the recent posts yet. It's like there is a delay. Any idea why that may be? I really do copy the list that is right before the "Leave a Comment".
