We all know William Shakespeare is the king of literature and the stage, but what many don't know is that his genius even reaches the far corners of modern cinema.

Every James Bond Theme Song, Ranked

From 'Goldfinger' to 'No Time to Die,' we broke down all the tracks that played alongside 007. No matter how directors or actors put their signature stamp on the franchise, James Bond films have a familiar formula. We can expect the opening scenes of the film to deliver on a few time-honored traditions: the gun-barrel sequence, the pre-title teaser, and perhaps most important of all, the highly stylized title credits, set to an original theme song. Bond themes are the secret sauce of the movies: paired with the bombastic credits, they set the tone for the action to come, and speak to the current era of the franchise. (You'd never hear a smooth Sean Connery-era theme in a Daniel Craig-starring Bond movie, after all.) For any musician, recording a Bond tune guarantees a spot in music history—but history doesn't remember all of the Bond themes fondly. Over the years, we've heard the truly awful (sorry, Madonna), to the deeply dull (Sam Smith), to the true classics, like Shirley Bassey’s “Goldfinger.” Here are all the James Bond themes, ranked from worst to best.
