Movie Clip

Diamonds Are Forever (1971) -- (Movie Clip) Title Song, Plain Solid Work After an extensive action prologue, in which 007 apparently killed Blofeld, Shirley Bassey’s vocal for the title song by John Barry and Don Black, and Sean Connery as Bond appears to lack interest in more routine work, involving diamonds, explained by M (Bernard Lee), in Diamonds Are Forever, 1971.
Diamonds Are Forever (1971) -- (Movie Clip) Making Mud Pies After dispatching some minor evil-doers, James Bond (Sean Connery, returning in his sixth 007 feature) appears to have killed Blofeld (Charles Gray) in the pre-credits opening sequence, in Diamonds Are Forever, 1971, co-starring Jill St. John.
Thunderball (1965) -- (Movie Clip) Credits, Title Song Tail end of the opening stunt leads to credit sequence for Thunderball, 1965, the fourth James Bond feature, title tune by John Barry and Don Black performed by Tom Jones.
Ben (1972) -- (Movie Clip) Ben's Song Certainly a SPOILER, and the element for-which this film, (Ben, 1972, sequel to Willard, 1971) is actually best known, Danny (Lee Harcourt Montgomery) finding his friend not-dead, and 13-year old Michael Jackson delivering his first solo #1 hit, by Walter Scharf and Don Black.
True Grit -- (Movie Clip) Opening Credits Opening credit sequence from director Henry Hathaway's True Grit, 1969, features co-star Glen Campbell singing the title song by Don Black and Elmer Bernstein.

Trailer

Ben (1972) -- (TV Trailer) Following the surprise box office success of the rat-thriller Willard, in 1971, this was the TV trailer for the quickly produced sequel, in which the title character was not a human, but a rat, in Ben, 1972, starring Lee Harcourt Montgomery, Meredith Baxter and Joseph Campanella.
