"Nobody Does It Better," sung by 8mm, is on the "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" soundtrack (I'm not sure if it's in the film). It's a little strange hearing a Bond song in another spy movie. But it makes me think, is this the first time a Bond song has been used in another film?

"Nobody Does It Better" - the original version - was also in Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason.

I'm sure there's plenty of other examples of Bond songs appearing in non-Bond movies (the 1962 recording of "The James Bond Theme" in Catch Me If You Can also comes to mind).

Yeah, but I think he is refering to the fact that Nobody does it better was in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith in which both the main characters are spies. That'd be like hearing the Goldeneye theme on The Bourne Supremacy

Various OHMSS and Moby themes were used in the Incredibles trailers - if not in the film.

Tenuous?

Anna Faris sings an intentionally bad karaoke version of Nobody Does It Better in Lost In Translation.

Live and Let Die cover was used in the opening of "The In-Laws". I still can't believe I saw that film in the theaters. The soundtrack says it's the original recording but it sounded like a cover to me.

"We Have All The Time In the World" has probably been in several. I think I heard it was in "The Jacket".

It's actually just an alternate recording of the song done by Paul McCartney & Wings.
