First thing I thought of! Then I had to remind myself that wasn’t really Connery!

 

[NyQuil]

One of my favorite scenes in any film.

I love the pause between shots for some reason.

Guy had three stages to his career. As Bond, the "why did you leave Bond?" and did a lot of interesting stuff in the 70s, and then as the "cool older dude".

I remember him from Highlander films, Untouchables, Last Crusade, Red October, Medicine Man, Rising Sun, and many more.

It was fun to go back an watch his 70s stuff when I was in college.

Damn this is sad. One of my most favorite actors and I watched his work for pretty much all my life. I didn't even know he was that old and that he was sick and this feels like it came out of nowhere.

 

[TheUltimateOiler]

He was one the best. Thank you for all the work you have done for this world.

 

[ORRFForever]

He had a long life but this is sad. Really sad.

 

[Hasbro]

He finally met Auric Goldfinger’s expectations.

Check out The Hill for a great performance.

 

[ORRFForever]

He looked great until the end. Hair or no hair, he aged better than 99% of us.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

It's hard for me to appreciate his Bond Films (I did like Goldfinger) mainly because of my age, so my Favorite Connery movie is still The Rock.

RIP to a legendary actor.

 

[Osprey]

RIP to the world's best Scottish Russian submarine captain. what a legend.

He played Englishmen, Americans, Italians and even Russians. When he finally got cast in a movie about a Scottish swordsman in the Highlands, he was given the part of... the Spanish-Egyptian character.

"First, Zardoz... now, this. I need to have a chat with my agent"

 

[ORRFForever]

I THOUGHT he was 6'6".

Turns out he was ONLY 6'2".

 

[ORRFForever]

It is so hard to measure Bonds because, after almost 6 decades, there has been so many of them.

Still, I prefer Connery with Daniel Craig as a close second.

 

[Chili]

The Hill is probably my favorite of his films.

Guess I know what one of my next biographies to read will be.

It really is Blue Moon tonight.

[Fixed to Ruin]

RIP. One of the greats.

 

[Ducks in a row]

He was and always will be Bond, James Bond

R.I.P.

Basically same story here. Dad's still sleeping, he won't be happy when he hears this news. Shiiit.

My father passed away 10 years ago. We did not have many good father and son moments but we enjoyed watching the hockey and Bond together

The Name of the Rose was one of the first movies I saw in cinema.

He went peacefully in his sleep while in the Bahamas. Not really a better way to go. One of my favorite actors.
