GoldenEye is my overall favourite Bond film. I also have a soft spot for TND, but his films got worse as they went on. Die Another Day is the only Bond film I've seen in the cinema and it's terrible lol, but I do have nostalgia for it.
Also, GoldenEye by Tina Turner is probably my favourite theme too out of his films, but I kinda like them all tbh.

I used to love goldeneye but now I think it's a bit overrated and tomorrow never dies has become my favourite of the brosnans.
Same actor as Organ Grinder:Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies are great. The other two are not worth rewatches for me.
The scene with the Dr. torturer guy in Tomorrow Never Dies is amazing. Love that scene and character.
Still my second favourite Bond. I grew up with him too and I always thought he was super suave and cool, even as a kid.
Glad to see the TWINE love in here. I've always thought it was incredibly underrated. Robert Carlyle's villain was the only let down, but Sophie Marceau more than made up for it.
I've always had a big soft spot for Tomorrow Never Dies too. It's a very comfy film to watch.
Die Another Day is stunningly bad though.

Goldeneye is easily the Brosnan GOAT, such a great first installment for the new Bond era and that amazing Tina Turner song. So many iconic scenes that are still stuck in my mind: the tank driving through the streets, bungee jumping from the dam, jumping after that plane...
I liked Tomorrow never Dies, not only because I absolutely loved Loise Lane aka Teri Hatcher but it was also a pretty good flick, though I have no idea if it still holds up. The rest was just garbage imho.

I like all of the first three
GoldenEye is a great reboot and then they gradually up the camp as the sequels go on. I think this works for both Tomorrow Never Dies and The World Is Not Enough, because I think Brosnan is at his best being funny.
But boy oh boy do they go off the rails at the end there, with Die Another Day. It's like all restraint has gone, plus 'OMG anniversary time to go all out', and they couldn't control themselves. It turns into Moore-era at its worst, and it's no surprise it killed Brosnan's run.
My dirty secret is that on some days I will take Tomorrow Never Dies over GoldenEye. I certainly think it has the best soundtrack of the lot.

Fun fact - Brosnan's Remington Steele contract wasn't going to be picked up for a fifth season so he auditioned for Bond in 1986 and got it. Then rumours started to swirl that he was the new James Bond and the Remington Steele producers took advantage of that and then reneged on the promise and renewed Remington Steele for a fifth season based on the hype that the casting rumours generated.I'm an old fart so I grew up with Brosnan as Remington Steele. Bond was a natural fit of course, but I feel like they made Brosnan Bond too serious. I know they were trying to get away from the Roger Moore campiness, but Brosnan has a knack for comedy and they didn't utilize it much. In many ways Remington Steele had that brash, bravado and cockiness that I expected from a Brosnan Bond, but it was missing.
So, so good. Also birthed one of my fave Kill James Bond podcast bitsGoldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies are great. The other two are not worth rewatches for me.

die another day is the worst brosnan bond by far, but has the best theme song. tomorrow never dies is a close second (and is the best brosnan bond).
I love Brosnan Bond, he's so sassy yet suave. Love all 3 movies (before DAD) but TWINE I think is my favorite even though it's a bit messy, Goldeneye is close though and pretty consistently good. The main cast in TWINE seem more "settled in" and Electra is the best villain. Die another day is such a mess but it has a great start and it's indeed on disasterpiece levels so it's still fun.
All 4 theme songs are peak Bond themes but Garbage is gonna get my vote!

I think Tomorrow Never Dies is my favourite Brosnan Bond film, then GoldenEye. I also think Die Another Day is more entertaining to watch than The World is not Enough, because the former is at least entertaining in how stupid it is; I always find TWINE kinda boring.
Growing up with him being Bond plus the video game is what seals it for me. I played the fuck out of that game growing up.
The real secret answer is Surrender, which was the original theme song from Tomorrow Never Dies.
It's fantastic.
It's fantastic.
I also only really liked Goldeneye.
I am not sure anyone mentioned it but Austin Powers really did a number on the James Bond franchise as well. It was such a good parody of the franchise. And it didn't help that the later Brosnan movies became a little too absurd (hard to tread that line because they did a lot of crazy things in Goldeneye but it all worked).
I felt Casino Royale was heavily influenced by the Bourne movies when they went in the more realistic direction. Which I didn't mind at first because I love Bourne, but I became tired with the later Bond movies as well.
It's probably just me because this franchise seems like it will be around forever.
Tomorrow Never Dies has one advantage in its favor: the best Bond soundtrack not written by John Barry. David Arnold was cooking. The later soundtracks from him get a little heavy on the "let's throw in a drum loop here" business, but you always know you're listening to a Bond movie -- way, way more than I can say for the majority of Craig's movies.
I really liked the story telling with GoldenEye's intro - the fall of the Soviet Union etc. Craig's Bond had a lot of that too - maybe too much.
Happy to see TWINE, both the film and the song, get the recognition it deserves. Always found GoldenEye to be somewhat overrated, though it's still good. Die Another Day went too far off the rails, though it has its moments (the opening credits sequence where Bond is being tortured is ingenious, with the Madonna song simultaneously sort of ruining it and heightening audience identification ;)).
