With no checking at all, I'm just going to assume 90% of the James Bond movies are in this category.

Goldeneye being the most obvious and maybe the best pre-reboot intro:

Casino Royale being a noticeable exception but a top favorite because it was all like FUCK YOU BUDDY JAMES BOND IS BACK AND KILLING EVERY RANDOM DUDE IN SIGHT WITH CARDS:

Casino Royale doesn't even rank in the top ten of Bond songs, but that credits montage is so danged cool.

Yeah, it's like a 5/10 song, especially the vocals, but the visuals are like 35/10.

The true best James Bond theme:

I still look this up for a laugh every now and then.

Also personally I prefer the GoldenEye videogame remake version of the song.

I looked it up:

Quote

"You Know My Name" is the first theme song since 1983's Octopussy to use a different title than the film, the first ever sung by a male American, and the first ever title theme song that did not appear on the soundtrack album. Cornell is the first male performer since a-ha in 1987's The Living Daylights. It is the fourth title theme after Dr. No, On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Octopussy, that does not make any reference to the title of the film.

Octopussy was a real missed opportunity.

The latter one segways into Bond, as it is a film directed by some of the guy supervizing the ski chases in a Bond and with Roger Moore. The film is a stunt fest under the pretext of a Xtreme sports competition hosted by Moore for solving bankruptcy, filled to the gills with product placement from Milka, Grundig, Paulaner Bier, VW (and Chiquita. With actual South American comic relief)... For some reason, there's a sequence of the different teams presentation filled with real stars (that do not appear anywhere else) : Niki Lauda, Isaac Hayes, Dennis Conner, etc...

It's actually pretty enjoyable for the crazy stunt work, terrible songs and for fans of German heavy-industry.
