Goldeneye

Well, I got talking about GoldenEye and Bond in my discussion of The Bourne Identity, so I pulled out GoldenEye and started watching it. I stand that this is not just one of the best Bond movies, but is also just one great movie all together. Really, for me, what does it is the whole 006 thing. Not only is Sean Bean hot, he's also an amazing actor. The tension between the two super-spies, once friends, now enemies, goes beyond the usual "monster of the week" Bond villain making the whole affair a little more engaging. They tried to replicate this "more on the line" feel in "The World is not Enough" with the kidnapping of M, but that didn't have the same weight.
GoldenEye also brings a change in the relationship between Bond and Moneypenny, largely because their relationship before could have stood as the congressional definition of sexual harassment. In GoldenEye Moneypenny is equipped with her own arsenal of witty retorts to parry Bond's advances.
