IMO the opening titles of james Bond have always set them apart from other films as they are often mesmerising and usually very stylish.

Maurice Binder created 14 of them. I don't know who created the others. I only now know Maurice's name from the "Dr No" thread.

Not being exclusive to just Maurice's but opened up to all of the James Bond films, which opening credits do you think are the best or worst?

I'm sure they are all on Youtube to check out. :)
 
My favourites are:

On Her Majesty's Secret Service - love the hour glass and clips from previous movies.
DiamonRAB Are Forever
For Your Eyes Only - I think it was a good move to include Sheena Easton
Living Daylights
Casino Royale - very different, but also very 1960s/70s Bond with the silhouetted characters.
 
The Spy Who Loved Me - clear shot of nipple when Roger Moore pulls the girl behind him with the blue background. According to Alan Partridge you see more, but I don't think so...
 
The only one I like to watch is Casino Royale.

I've always found the girls prancing about a bit tedious... However, the title sequences do set the Bond films apart from just about any other film I can think of. So while I find most of 'em boring, they should be kept. If that makes any sense. :D
 
I love the theme to the "rogue" Bond film Casino Royale (the one with David Niven, Woody Allen etc.)
Played by Herb Alpert And The Tijuana Brass.
Brilliant.
