Pierce Brosnan lifts Goldeneye into fan-ranked Top 10 list

Pierce Brosnan's goldeneye was the only James Bond film to crack his fan-ranked Top 10 movies list on IMDb, and it did not take No. 1. At 73, the former Bond star is still being measured against the role that made him best known, even as his latest work includes Netflix's Thursday Murder Club and The Giant.

Brosnan at 73

73 is the number that frames the latest Brosnan conversation, but the real takeaway is narrower: fans chose just one Bond title, and GoldenEye was it. That makes the 1995 film the clearest shorthand for his screen identity, even before the rest of his filmography enters the picture.

GoldenEye also stands apart because it was Brosnan's post-Cold War Bond debut. Judi Dench and Sean Bean are in the film with Xenia Onatopp among the characters, which helps explain why this entry still carries more weight than the others in his Bond run.

IMDb voters pick one Bond film

The fan ranking matters because it separates Brosnan's broader catalog from the one role most viewers still associate with him. In the same list, GoldenEye missed No. 1, so the film gets the Bond distinction without owning the top spot overall.

That leaves Brosnan in a familiar business position: his recent projects move him beyond 007, but the audience ranking keeps pulling the conversation back to one 1995 title. He is also attached to The Giant, where he plays an Irish boxing trainer, showing how his work now stretches well past the spy franchise.

From 1955 to Thursday Murder Club

Brosnan's career line now runs from his film debut as an IRA man in the London gangster classic with Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren to The Giant and Thursday Murder Club. For readers tracking his filmography, the practical answer is simple: GoldenEye is still the Brosnan movie to watch first if you want the Bond chapter that fans rate highest.
