Goldfinger definitely deserved it. The perfect Bond score.

Goldfinger. The music, especially in the scenes of the raid on Fort Knox, really boosted the film.

The perfect Bond film.

I agree it's the definitive Bond movie- "You are a woman of many parts, Pussy"
and I love the score but I still after all these years pull a 1968 Academy and give it to YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE/OHMSS.
I can't choose between them- they are equally great.

i think overall THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS was his best score. of course, there was nothing wrong with his other scores. i just really think that he really put his heart into DAYLIGHTS as it was his last film.

I thought that the reason he didn't do Licence To Kill was simply that he was not available because of his ruptured oesophagus? I don't think he approached The Living Daylights thinking "this is my last, better make it a good one." Actually, I was listening to TLD today, and was just thinking that it was about as "modern" as JB got, and I wonder, if he hadn't become ill, would he have gone further down that line, and not down the very lush and slightly melancholy route he went down post 1990? A route that, I rush to emphasise, I enjoy very much - scores like Chaplin and Playing By Heart are among my favourites.

I suspect that very near death experience plays a large part in what you say, Ellington, something like that would affect anyone and would have you re-evaluating your life. We should all be thankful that John Barry gave us so much more music to love, if it wasn't for the Doctors who so profoundly saved his life we could all have been talking about John in the past tense for over 20 years now and pontificting about what films he might have worked on.
p.s. I think MASQUERADE ( 1988 ) was the last film he completed before his illness.
