Pierce Brosnan was the fifth James Bond overall but he made history in his own way, becoming the first 007 of the 1990s and therefore turning a whole new generation onto Ian Fleming's suave secret agent. GoldenEye, the first of the four Brosnan Bond films, came out 20 years ago today if you can believe it, and the fact that there's a Bond movie in theaters right this minute only hammers home just how unusually enduring (not to mention, hard to kill) the character remains.While Brosnan's Bond reported for duty in the relatively evolved year that was 1995, he was still very much of the old-timey, bed-the-babes, not-a-hair-out-of-place Bonds that came before. But his in-on-the-joke version combined the debonairness of Sean Connery with the hungry-for-adventure vibe that Roger Moore brought to the table; and for now anyway, Brosnan also marked the last of the still-having-fun Bonds, because no matter how deftly Daniel Craig's 007 handles every obstacle in his way, he always looks like he's going to work.
