    My vote would go to SF. I was virtually crying with happiness when I first saw it in the cinema.

    Hmmm.....does anyone actually think main titles from TWINE are better than those of GE?

    1. CR - Head and shoulders above the rest. Most unique and innovative titles since, well, DN and best song for at least 20 years.

    2. SF - Another Kleinman tour de force and and one of the best songs again for 20 years. Quieter and haunting which is no bad thing but lacks the kick in the bollocks factor of CR that blew you away on first viewing.

    3. GE - Epic PTS which segues into a shameless brassy rip off of GF and the explosion down the gunbarrel of Kleinmans updated but classical titles. Bond was definitely back.

    This.

    Please keep voting ;-). It's a very tight vote in the TOP 2.... Another sign that even we fans on average can not make up our minds about which movie is better: SF or CR. I love it!

    CR hands down.
    SF a distant second.

    Well, apparently the polls say something else ;-).

    I would go with Casino Royale too to be honest! Thought it was original and very clever.

    1. Skyfall
    2. Casino Royale
    3. GoldenEye

    Though I am also a really big fan of the main titles for Tomorrow Never Dies and The World is Not Enough, as well as the main titles for Quantum of Solace and the very inventive narrative-propelling titles for Die Another Day (notwithstanding Madonna's Freud-holla'ing electro-pop).

    1. CR - 4 points (absolutely outstanding to me. From Craig's gunshot to the opening riff from Cornell, to the very inventive, 60's style shadow like title sequence. Absolutely outstanding and very inventive - this was done one year before Mad Men came out)

    2. SF - 2 points (mainly as a result of Adele's excellent title song and the scene where Bond is underwater sinking to his death before the song kicks in. Very emotional buildup to that part and it works on screen - did not really think the title sequence itself was all that though compared to CR)

    3. TND - 1 point (love the song and love the way the intro starts with all the breaking glass or crystal - I think supposedly from the jet engine. Very Bond like sequence)

    4. GE - honourable mention - Tina Turner was outstanding and the pretitles was superb (including the amazing jump) which really revved me up for this part. The title sequence was just ok though but I liked the Soviet symbolism

    Useless to me
    5. QoS - horrendous IMO - strangling a cat indeed
    6. TWINE - garbage - appropriately IMO
    7. DAD - terrible in every way including the title song

    There you go.

    Any combination of these three are fine. Some of the others feel silly, esp TND and TWINE.

    I think TWINE is really underrated. I love the mysterious slow-paced, soulful song from Garbage, especially Shirley's voice. Combined with the constantly slowly moving visuals from Danny Kleinman, it kind of reminded me of Skyfall's main titles.

    Moreover, I think the song was really David Arnold's best attempt, creative-wise, of a Bond song. Even better than YKMN (My personal opinion). And don't forget lyricist Don Black, who returned to this film with the best lyrics ever since "GoldenEye".

    the bald computer circuit women in the TND intro just looked really silly, and the disco ball oil drop refractions on TWINE look really out of place as well.
