Another action-packed film. In this one, Bond faces a media tycoon. With a strong female co-spy and a cynical take on news and power, Brosnan's Bond is charming and confident.

The World Is Not Enough (1999)

Brosnan's third film, we see a blend of emotion and intrigue, with a story that personally affects Bond. The action is great, but the drama makes it memorable.
