GoldenEye

GoldenEye is a 1995 James Bond film starring Pierce Brosnan, notable for reviving the franchise after a six-year hiatus.

The accompanying 1997 video game for Nintendo 64 became legendary among gamers for its multiplayer mode, influencing a generation of first-person shooters.

We spent countless hours playing GoldenEye in college. (Lowercase goldeneye is a species of duck.)
