Now That's What I Call Stuart's Favourite Music 63 - Duran Duran (A View To A Kill)

Out of all of the Jame Bond movies, I can always remember the huge promotion for Roger Moore's final bond movie in 1985.  Breakfast cereal, crisps, sweets...  It was everywhere.  In particular, I remember saving up coupons from Smiths Crisps so that I could send them off for a massive poster featuring Bond chasing May Day up the Eifel Tower!

It's not my favourite Bond movie, but it does feature the best (in my opinion) theme tune out of all the films.  Duran Duran's A View To A Kill was released on the 6th May 1985 and become one of the band's biggest hits.  It reached number 2 in the UK charts, only being beaten from the top spot by Paul Hardcastle's 19.

Enjoy.
