Brendon, yes to Sniper Was a Woman! I made the comment recently, probably on the No Time to Die thread, that I thought that scene and cue was the best in a Bond movie since one of the earlier Connerys.

Knee jerk reaction to a silly thread like this: Goldfinger opening titles (yep, the song - but EVERYTHING to do with it, I'm not a Bassey fan as such) Into Miami The Persuaders

Two from the Ipcress File . . . The main title: Sound effects with the alarm going off. As soon as Harry Palmer shut the alarm off you hear that opening riff--and it is startling. Then that ominous 4-note cimbalom intro hits just as "The Ipcress File" appears on the screen. Masterful. The fight outside the Albert Hall with Grantby's henchman. The clanging cimbalom, the building brass punctuations, and the wild soprano sax weaving throughout. Plus, in 1965 the soprano sax was not often heard as a solo instrument outside of jazz, and even in jazz very few were playing it at that time--Coltrane, definitely, but the soprano sax explosion in jazz didn't really hit until 1969 when Wayne Shorter started playing it with Miles Davis.

Yes to "Back to Nature" from Walkabout. A favorite cue is "The Herb Garden" from The Lion in Winter. The back and forth between the male and female voices grabs me every time I play it. When JB adapted it for a 45 with a slow rhythm and Alan Haven's organ he kept the voices and as light jazz piece it still worked well.
