Pierce Brosnan is one of my favorite Bonds. I haven't seen any of the older Sean Connery movies and maybe only the Bond movie before GoldenEye but I like the Brosnan movies better than the newer Bond.

I'll have to say that I haven't seen all of the newer Bond movies after Brosnan though so some of them may be worth watching at least even if they're not as good as GoldenEye or the other Brosnan movies.

Even accounting for nostalgia and the video game on Nintendo 64 I still think GoldenEye is the best Bond movie in the last ~30 years.
