Sean Connery Dies Aged 90

[Glideslope]

“Goodby Mr. Bond.”

He's so good in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, there's only one man who could ever have played Dr. Henry Jones, Jr's Dad, and that's the brilliant Sean Connery. I rewatched this semi-recently, it's tight, wonderfully acted, has a nice tie-in with the original, has that beautiful opening with River Phoenix playing Indy (that always makes me a little sad).

Agreed, Connery as Indiana's father was perfectly cast.

Lest we forget...

Sean Connery's attitude towards women was wrong, but sadly very much of the time

Reflecting on Sean Connery’s life, it’s impossible to skate over his notorious attitude towards women.

I think we all knew about these comments and quite why it needs to be shared here is anybody’s guess.

It's convenient in death to forget about who the individual really is. This is a fallacy.

On that note I think you’ve ended the thread.

Oh yeah, he had terrible performances in these films ...

The Wind and the Lion
The Hill
The Man Who Would Be King
The Name of the Rose
The Untouchables
Time Bandits

LOL 🤣

Untouchables 💕

Would also add . . .

The Hunt for Red October
Dr No - My fav Connery bond film (and with Ursula 😍)
Just Cause

oh - missed one - just had to add it 😃 - "The Rock" with Ed Harris 👍 and Nicolas Cage - Another Great Movie

Really liked him in many of his movies but seems no-one in the media mentions 'Finding Forrester' which I think was a very good movie of his...

I think this is the best Bond theme song by Sheena Easton.

Yes, nice song!

 

[honestone33]

Yes, excellent, excellent actor! He always made each part he played that much more enjoyable! Of course he is primarily remembered for this role as James Bond, and for me, the two best James Bond movies featuring him are:

From Russia With Love:

Goldfinger:

His interactions with "Q" were always funny!

But there are at least 3 non-Bond roles that I feel he really shined:

The Untouchables:

The Hunt For Red October:

The Rock:

And yes, there is of course Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.

 

[Doctor Q]

His interactions with "Q" were always funny!

Hence the forum signature that I've had on and off for over a decade!

Thanks for the movies, Mr. Connery.

You're welcome. Really enjoyed seeing him. It is very difficult to say which is his best movie/role.
