And the third was John Barry, who scored 11 James Bond films.
Dr. No is credited to Monty Norman. The question of who wrote what has been the subject of debate and litigation for years. Here's the entire list, cribbed from Wikipedia:
- Dr. No (1962) — James Bond Theme used on main and end titles and Bond's arrival in Jamaica
- From Russia with Love (lyrics by Lionel Bart) (1963), Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Song in a Motion Picture
- Goldfinger (1964)
- Thunderball (1965)
- You Only Live Twice (1967)
- On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)
- Diamonds Are Forever (1971)
- The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
- Moonraker (1979)
- Octopussy (1983)
- A View to a Kill (1985), (Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Original Score - Motion Picture & for Best Original Song - Motion Picture)
- The Living Daylights (1987)

Legend has it that Tom Jones almost blacked out from lack of oxygen on the final note of Thunderball. Great stuff.
Midnight Cowboy wasn't too bad.
I glanced around YooToob but couldn't find decent copies of any of the other opening credits. Fuck it. Check someone else's blog.
