GoldenEye (film)/Awesome

"James Bond: What, no small talk? No ... chit-chat? That's the trouble with the world these days, nobody takes the time to perform a really sinister interrogation. It's a lost art."
 * Bond replying to the villain's, "For England, James?" with, "No. For me."
 * Bond. St Petersburg. TANK.
 * Bond escaping from the chemical weapons plant on a motorcycle, which he then rode off a cliff and caught up with a plane.
 * At the beginning when Bond jumps from the top of the dam. The free-fall and eventual landing scene that follows is several seconds, maybe even up to a minute, of a single sound of whooshed air. When this movie first came out, that was the moment when people knew this Bond film would revive the series.
 * For me, the scene when Pierce Brosnan became Bond was when he and Natalya were facing the Russian official who threatened to execute them:

"M: You were saying? Bill Tanner: No, no, I was just... just um... M: Good. Because if I want sarcasm, Mr Tanner, I'll talk to my children, thank you very much."
 * The scenes with Judi Dench as M, particularly the Right Behind Me moment.

"Valentin: Walther PPK, 7.65 millimeter. Only three men I know use such a gun. I believe I've killed two of them. Bond: Lucky me. (A gun is pointed at the back of Bond's head) Valentin: I think not."
 * M telling Bond he is a sexist misogynistic dinosaur.
 * Xenia Onatopp's preferred method of assassination. Out with a Bang indeed!
 * Valentin Zukovsky:


 * Also, the final fight between Bond and Janus. Competing for the title of best fight in the series with the fight between Bond and Red Grant in From Russia with Love.
 * According to the DVD commentary, it was scripted and filmed to be a homage to the legendary Bond/Grant fight.
 * Bond barely acknowledging that he is fired upon when setting bombs in Janus' base, just giving a slight flinch when bullets hit his cover.
