This was a long awaited Bond movie that actually delivered. I will admit that it wasn't just the story and action that scored for me, the stand out performance and actress for me was Izabella Scorupco. I would say Golden Eye is my favorite Bond movie after Roger Moore and before Daniel Craig.
It would be nice to mention the first candidate for the opening song which was the swedish group Ace of Base. The official history tells they suddenly decided it cuold harm their image in case of the film's flop and turned down the offer but the song was already written and lately was included in 2002 'Da Capo' album with words 'Golden Eye' changed to 'Juvenile'. The Ace of Base version sounds quite good and somewhat more 'traditional' but of course it's just my opinion.
This is one of my favorites. Brosnan was the last "Real" Bond. The last one who remotely embodied the cinematic version. And yes, I have read the books and seen all of the Bond films in the theater.
Surprised you didn’t mention that because Pinewood wasn’t available Eon created an entirely new UK film studio for this film out of the old Rolls Royce factory at Leavesden complete with the St Petersburg street set outdoors on one of the old runways, subsequently used for many other productions including the Harry Potter series.
the biggest missed opportunity was not having Hugh Grant as Bond and Liz Hurley as the Bond girl/femme fatale, but Liz DID play such a part in Austin Powers and Hugh did Mickey blue eyes, which isn't good but hinted at how he'd work as Bond, James Bond. After Goldeneye, they started doing Bungee jumps at the dam, called ( I think) Goldeneye bungee, or Golden jump

One of my favourite Bond movies. Also the first to feature Judi Dench as M, IIRC...
The tank used in this film which is now at dezerland in Florida , was also used In the British sci fi comedy Red Dwarf
This was the first Bond movie I ever went to see at the cinema

Honestly, this is the only Brosnan Bond I enjoy, the others went too deep into the Roger Moore mold
The name is Rocky, double 0 Rocky.

Hugh Grant? WTF dude, no way, he does romantic comedy, he ain't no bond.
