The use of sound –or lack of– in film is so crucial. It can either make or break a film. It adds depth and stirs emotion. I think one thing that makes James Bond so captivating is the common theme for the soundtrack in all James Bond movies. From the first film...

...the soundtrack has a common theme. Yes the music becomes more and more modernized to fit into trends and more appealing to the changing audience as times goes on, but the basic notes, keys, chords stay the same. The first film soundtrack has many similarities to the last film soundtrack. You know it's a James Bond movie as soon as you hear the music. The next link shows the main theme song for every James Bond movie. My personal favorites are the last ones by far:

I'm using Chris Cornell's "You Know My Name" as one of my walkout songs for a wrestling event.
Adele's "Skyfall" is amazing, nothing can top that; Billie Eilish's "No Time to Die" is beautiful; and Sam Smith's "Writing's on the Wall" also hits different. Whoever made the soundtrack is a genius, it fits into the film very well.
Entertaining & relevant. Thanks for sharing, Yelena!
