Last night I was discussing the upcoming James Bond movie. This lead to a discussion of Bond movies in general, as well as best opening theme songs. The video above is for my favorite (it led the group's popularity along with "Live and Let Die"). Watch the video: it's the most 80's thing you'll do today.
If you haven't seen A View to a Kill here's what you need to know: Christopher Walken is the villain, Grace Jones is the bad Bond girl, blimps are important to the plot, and there is a cool action sequence on the Eiffel Tower. Not to spoil the plot of a movie from 1985 (which you've probably seen on TBS anyway), but it was cited by my microeconomics professor as an example of a Bond villain attempting to get rich by screwing up supply of a product (a product which coincidentally had its supply screwed up in 2021 in part by the Texas storm which knocked out my power for 3 days). On the bad side, there is worst use of a Beach Boys song I have ever seen in a movie.
