Yep. Loved him in The Rock as well. Such a cool character. Also, of course, Marko Ramiush the Russhian shubmarine captain. You forgot his accent because he was so awesome. «One ping only, Vassily.»


In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

That was "Zardoz", NFB. In my opinion, a very forgettable film except for the surprise reveal. PM me if you want the spoiler.

The choice of Connery as Henry Jones Sr. was as obvious as it was fun. Yes, very much against type. I particularly loved when he said that being shot at was "a new experience" for him. But obvious in that Spielberg had loved the James Bond films (Connery's, naturally) growing up and always wanted to do a movie that was set all over the world and had that kind of action and narrow escapes. So 007 is, in many ways, the father of Indiana Jones.


SALUTE TO ALL!

He did well in a different kind of role for him in Medicine Man.

A legend is gone.
Sean Connery defined the role of James Bond on film. I really liked him in Red October, another great role was in the Hitchcock film Marnie.
Rest in Peace Sir Sean.

Zardoz. Never heard of it. I watch a Connery film years ago when i was a kid. Came on late night TV. He was a news guy in the Middle East. Can't recall the title . Fell asleep several times. Then there was another movie on late night TV with Connery burglaring a New York apartment. All I can remember is his girlfriend was very pretty.

I’m glad that he retired when he did after he made “League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” back in 2003. He had a good 17 years of very well deserved retirement.

A nearly forgotten gem and one of my all time favorite movies. The only film he made with Michael Caine (who is now 87 years old), directed by John Huston.

Naunton Beauchamp Worcestershi...
Another underrated film of his, "Robin and Marian" (1976)
In which he played an ageing Robin with much understated humour in the script. Such as Robin helping the Sheriff of Nottingham (Robert Shaw) up from of his knees as they pray before their final duel.

One of these guys you kinda expect to be around forever, because they seem to have been around forever.

I hope whereever he is now, he's going to have a happy and great time.

Among Connery’s obscure films I’d say that “Outlander” was quite good. Apparently the director of that film intentionally made the film look like it took place in the same universe as “Alien”. Yes, he was trying to capitalize on the big success of “Alien”.

He died in a movie? I hope he asked for a couple of millions for dying! He is James Bond. James Bond does not die! Some actors do not die on screen. It's in their contract for every movie: no dying scene, no crying scene. I never seen Stallone and Schwarzenegger and Eastwood and Norris die on screen. Ever see Norris die or cry in Walker Texas Ranger? NO!!

That a bad screen death! I am glad he died peacefully in real life.
