Another vote for Goldeneye. The final [007vs.006](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsyacUJzCbg) is probably the best fight in the whole franchise. ---

Goldeneye. The tank. Like the stealth boat, like the motorbike chase, like the invisible car. \*Love \*the freaking tank chase. And I am liable to count the number of times I’ve clicked my pen (or watched someone else click theirs. And “I am…invincible!” ---

The Tailor of Panama was the best Brosnan spy movie. ---

I’m also surprised anyone voted for Die Another Day. Anyone brave enough to out themselves and defend the film? ---

_Goldeneye_. Also one of the best Bond title song in years. ---

_Goldeneye_ was the least bad of the four. They all had elements that I liked, and I think Brosnan could have been the best of the Bonds. But he got stuck with bad scripts, badly directed. ---

**GoldenEye**. Sean Bean proved why he would have been a better Bond. ---

_Goldeneye_ was the best of the four, but I think they were all good except for _Tomorrow Never Dies._ ---

Goldeneye clearly with Tomorrow Never Dies second place. I would put Die Another Day slightly ahead of The World Never Ends. Denise Richards was not a good Bond Girl. The scene in Goldeneye with Xenia Onatopp sexing that Canadian admiral to death was the hottest sex scene ever! ---

I voted for _Goldeneye_, and, honestly, Brosnan is a different guy in that one than in all his other outings; he’s like, I dunno, a cartoon whip: fast, lean, playful, animated; even if he’s not your idea of Bond, you totally get what they were going for and see why they hired him. And everybody else – Judi Dench, of course, but also Robbie Coltrane and Famke Janssen and Sean Bean and Alan Cumming – is perfect from ‘go’. ---
