Favourite Brosnan Bond by performance by Pierce Brosnan

Sorry, you canā€™t choose The Thomas Crown Affair. Tough. It has to be one of the below. I know thatā€™s harsh. Cope.

Seems I like GoldenEye better than I thought.

I found that too. David Arnold works and TND pre-titles were the only outliers!

Iā€™m surprised how often I voted for THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH.

I may get shotā€¦but TND has the worst title theme in the Brosnan run by far! Made worse by Surrender being so much better.

Summary

I should say Iā€™m not even approving Die Another Day, just I really donā€™t like Sheryl Crowā€™s effort.

By a country mile, TWINE has the best, I think itā€™s being reflected in the voting too

@Jim thanks for this perfect distraction!

If Iā€™m honest I canā€™t even remember what the villain scemeā€™s were from TWINE and DAD.

A lot of Goldeneye votes from me. More than I expected if Iā€™m honest.

My choices were:

Favorite villain: Alec Trevelyan (GoldenEye)
Favorite leading lady: Natalya Simonova (GoldenEye)
Favorite villainā€™s scheme: Tomorrow Never Dies
Favorite henchperson: Xenia Onatopp (GoldenEye)
Favorite Bond performance: Tomorrow Never Dies
Favorite title song: GoldenEye
Favorite score: Tomorrow Never Dies
Favorite pre-titles sequence: Tomorrow Never Dies
Favorite title sequence: GoldenEye

TOTALLY across the board.

Great minds think alike.

Favorite villain: Alec Trevelyan
Favorite leading lady: Wai Lin
Favorite villainā€™s scheme: Tomorrow Never Dies
Favorite henchperson: Xenia Onatopp
Favorite Bond performance: Die Another Day
Favorite title song: The World Is Not Enough
Favorite score: Tomorrow Never Dies
Favorite pre-title sequence: Tomorrow Never Dies
Favorite title sequence: Goldeneye

Tomorrow Never Dies edging Goldeneye out 4-3, and some of those calls could go either way, such as the soundtracks and villain schemes which I like equally and for different reasons. Theyā€™re his best two films, and very good Bond movies in their own right.

Wai Lin was a kickass ā€˜Bond equalā€™ done right. Xenia is an instant classic. The Garbage song has a melancholia that appeals to me, and given the family motto, it feels like an appropriate anthem for Brosnanā€™s Bond in the way Nobody Does It Better is for Moore.

I think Brosnanā€™s best Bond performance is from Die Another Day. Some of my favourite Brosnan moments come from that film - entering the Hong Kong casino soaking wet, knocking out the man for the wheelchair, and the sword fight. I think he felt the most comfortable here.

Iā€™m shocked I actually voted for Die Another Day for something. Also, Iā€™m sad I couldnā€™t choose Danteā€™s Peak or Mamma Mia for best Brosnan performance.

What category?

Best title sequence.

Good choice.

I like the Garbage song, but the title sequence itself didnā€™t excite me like Brosnanā€™s other three.

I really like how it incorporates Bondā€™s torture and actually makes some of the sequence part of the actual story. Itā€™s kind of the same reason that I love Skyfallā€™s PTS so much. That one really seems like Bondā€™s fever dream.

I ranked Garbageā€™s song the best of Brosnanā€™s.

Same.

As for my favourite Brosnan vehicle, I choose the BMW 750iL.

I like the Vanquish, but BMW is so exclusively Brosnan era (like how Moore drove a Lotus) that it feels appropriate going with it. The car park sequence in question is also really good.
