i've always felt CR was Arnold's best Bond score.. it was a change of pace - it felt more classic and orchestral than his previous Bond scores, plus it didn't rely so heavily on the Bond theme (which he was often blasted for using too much).. but at the same time, i liked the way he used parts of the Bond theme at certain moments - like when Bond arrives in Nassau, with those blaring trumpets and the simple one note riff off an electric guitar..... gives me goosebumps each time i hear it - but i also liked the way he incorporated YKNM into the score as well.... i dont know, for my own personal tastes i liked what he brought to the table with his work on CR, and even QOS - though CR is the superior between the two.
i've always liked all of Arnold's scores - while often time void of a specific overarching theme, i really liked the way it was used on screen..
12p: On Her Majesty's Secret Service
10p: From Russia with Love

John Barry obviously the best (and from York!), David Arnold's scores I felt became very samey - i'm sure he used similar themes across his films. I liked Michael Kamen's score for Licence to Kill but did feel like his Die Hard/Lethal Weapon scores with the JB theme mixed in
If you don't cast your votes before that, I steal a 00-licence and I will kill you =D>
Have you voted already?
It was a tough battle, in hindsight perhaps OHMSS should be first, and TLD second....but OP has a lot going for it
Ah yes! You brought it single-handedly to 14th place :-P!
In all honesty, I think the score triumphes in this exotic Indian flavour. But it did lack some 'punch' and 'zest'. Especially the more action-oriented parts.
Michael Giacchino for instance did some marvellous stuff on "Ghost Protocol". Great original source/party music:
Oh the things I do for Barry :-\"
