Casino Royale
Every James Bond film is judged by several factors: the actor playing Bond, the “Bond girl” of the film in question, the villain, and the music. James Bond movie music has always been huge for fans of the series, and even those who aren’t particularly interested in the exploits of 007 can recognize some of those classic themes.
Casino Royale (1967) had some of the finest ever Bond music and laid the foundation for the rest of the franchise to follow. Burt Bacharach and Herb Alpert did an amazing job at creating a score as epic and expansive as the plot of the film itself.
