I rank them (the Brosnan Era films) in the order they came out, but honestly I like 'em all.

If one is to rank, there has to be a least fave. Such is life.

I have no problem putting GE as my favourite Brosnan.
The tricky decision is between TND and TWINE for 2nd place, but for me TND edges it.
DAD is my least favourite.

Yeah, have to say, the order of their release for me also. Paradoxically, I think that the first half of DAD has some of Brozzer's best work in it, up to and including the sword fight. A look at screenwriting credits for these films tells the tale :v

Totally agree Loeffelholz. -{
I would even go as far as to say the best thing about all of the Brosnan Bond films is Brosnan himself. He did a fine job but was let down by others.

At least we're in agreement on how he'd rank his movies.
I think he was great in all of them, and managed to give the world a Bond with toughness, charm, coldness, and humor. And they're just fun action romps that you can sit back and enjoy.
At least, that's how I view his era.

Agreed. Similar to Moore, he appears to be happy in everyone he's doing - despite some pretty inconsistent writing/production.
Yeah, the writing in DAD could've been much better, it's interesting to note that both DAD and QoS had writing issues, although very different in nature.
With QoS, you get a sense that some of the script was unfinished and the cast and crew just improvised. That scene when Greene says "I took an iron..." is an example, as is the scene when Bond gets out of Camille's car and the biker shows up telling her "You were supposed to shoot her!".
With DAD, it's obviously the overuse of cheesy puns. Right now they don't bother me too much, but I can totally understand how they can piss off other people.
Btw I like both movies, weird as it may be.

2 - The World Is Not Enough - My #2 and #3 are neck and neck. But this one edges it, purely because of Elektra King.
3 - Tomorrow Never Dies - It's fun, but like TWINE I find it bland at times. Love the freefall though,
and the carver banner being ripped.
4 - Die Another Day - Fun by all means. And memorable. But... it's the worst in the entire series. (Something has to be)...

I'm the same but with TWINE in 1st place.
TND and DAD are a long way away from TWINE and GE in my overall rankings.
