With the latest release in the Bond franchise only one week away, we at Aroundtable have assembled our own must-watch /essential 007 movies to see in order to get you in the spirit of Bond.

After the underperforming License to Kill, the world would wait six years for James Bond to return to theatres. Thankfully, Pierce Brosnan takes on the role and he successfully revives the “00” license to the modern world with the hugely successful 17TH installment of the Bond movies with, GoldenEye.

Director Martin Campbell and Pierce Brosnan tweak the Bond character for modern audiences by bringing back the sorely missed sense of suaveness and wit from the previous movies. If you only watch one James Bond film with Pierce Brosnan, then GoldenEye should be the one.
