SKYFALL SMASHES BOX OFFICE RECORDS

In the fifty years of Bond films being the godfather of spy films, there have been many theme songs that have been hits but some of them have been not-so-great. So in honor of Adele releasing one of the great ones for Skyfall (which smashed weekend box office records with a gross net of $87.8 million in the U.S. and $500 million worldwide), I present to you my favorite Bond themes. I've been  longtime fan of the Bond movies and I believe that Daniel Craig has been the best choice to play the iconic spy since Sean Connery back in the 60's. In fact I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Daniel Craig is the best Bond ever! I'm really hoping that the producers keep the same writers and people that worked on Skyfall for many future Bond films to come.

P.S. I'm also hoping Skyfall will kill the final Twilight film's box office gross when it gets released this Friday. Check out the top 10 box films as well as my picks for the best Bond themes below...
