Thanked: 4200The best Bond, IMO. And he made The Untouchables the gritty legend It was as well.

To me he was THE James Bond. He was the metering stick that all others were gauged by. Truly a perfect mix of debonair and fisticuffs. A man who got more handsome as he aged; something the rest of us lesser men admire or envy.

I don't recall ever seeing a Sean Connery movie that I didn't like. I gave both of my daughters copies of Darby O'Gill and the Little People for their kids. If you haven't seen it, take the time---you'll hear him sing.
I didn't think that my mother would ever stop crying when she watched him die in the Untouchables. When she finally did she said "Boy, he sure earned that Oscar".
He looked so natural with a pony tail in Medicine Man.
After he'd retired I read that the Powers That Be wanted to make another Indiana Jones movie with him and when they contacted him said that if anything would tempt him out of retirement it would be another Indiana Jones movie but he was retired.
I once heard a comedian say that he wished he had Sean Connery's voice so he could pick up women. He said he could be at a petting zoo and walk up to a woman and using Sean's voice just say 'Nice Goat' and it'd all be over.
Rest In Peace Mr. Connery thank you for the many happy hours of entertainment you gave to millions.

"The name is Bond... James Bond." There was only ONE true Double-O Seven. All the others were mere aspirants who sort of got it, but not quite.

Scrolling through Hulu last night found (and watched) The Rock. Loved Connery in that one.

Ditto on The Untouchables and the OG Bond. And don't forget him as Soviet Captain Ramius in The Hunt for Red October!:
Not to mention there's Sam Neil, Alec Baldwin, Scott Glenn and Courtney Vance, all in their prime. Now I gotta watch that one again (and maybe make it a two-fer with Crimson Tide, my other favorite sub movie).Last edited by ScoutHikerDad; 11-01-2020 at 05:34 PM. Reason: spelling

Thanked: 552I’d like to add “The man who would be king” with Michael Caine and Christopher Plummer.
Connery and Caine were marvellous working off one another.David
