5. Live And Let Die
Live and Let Die, released in 1973, is a pretty controversial entry into the James Bond series. It has definite elements of racism that nowadays would be unacceptable - pretty much every black character in the movie turns out to be a bad guy, and parts of the story are pretty ropey. Despite this, when I first saw it as a kid I was hooked and it remains a guilty pleasure, so I may be biased including it here. Whilst the visuals of the sequence do nothing drastically different from any of the others in the series, consisting mainly of posing women and Bond, again played by Roger Moore, the music in this sequence again justifies its inclusion here. Paul McCartney has been busy since the The Beatles called it a day, but most of his efforts have seen varying levels of success. Much of his stuff has been decent, but some of it was damn terrible (see: a certain song involving frogs if you don't believe me). Arguably, his best period, however, came when he was fronting the band Wings, who provide the soundtrack to this movie. "Live and Let Die" really is a great song and it is testament to its quality that on a recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show, McCartney walked out from backstage with this song playing in the background.
