Goldfinger soundtrack named 25th best ever

30-Apr-2009 • Bond News

The Hollywood Reporter has conducted an industry poll to name the best movie soundtracks of all time.

James Bond gets placed at #25 thanks to John Barry's score for the 1964 film "Goldfinger".

25 | Goldfinger
John Barry 1964
The third time was the charm for John Barry, who worked out the famous arrangement of the James Bond theme on the first movie, "Dr. No," wrote a terrific score for the sequel, "From Russia With Love," then created the most iconic Bond score of all for 007's face-off with arch villain Auric Goldfinger. From the arresting Shirley Bassey title song to the glittering orchestral strings that characterize gold itself, Barry's "Goldfinger" epitomizes the shaken, not stirred, style of the Bond series.
