One of the best action movies of the 90s is on TV tonight

"James Bond, Stiff-Ass Brit."

We're talking about Goldeneye, Pierce Brosnan's best James Bond film, and a contender for one of the top five best entries in the entire franchise.

The Navan star debuted as 007 in this 1995 entry and holds a special place in Bond fans hearts, especially amongst those who grew up playing the spinoff computer game of the same name, which sparked a whole cult following in itself.

Starring alongside Brosnan is Sean Bean, Alan Cumming, Izabella Scorupco and Robbie Coltrane. The plot focuses on Bond attempting to stop a Russian crime syndicate using a stolen secret space based weapons program known as "GoldenEye".

If you're a Bond fan, you've surely seen it before and it's well worth a rewatch. If not, it's also a great jumping off point for the franchise and a perfect chance to see the Irishman Brosnan at his charming best.

Goldeneye is showing on ITV4 at 9.10pm.
