Celebrity Death: Sean Connery (90)

[mrmovies779]

Legend.Icon.1 of a kind.The world will never see another like him.

 

[Jussi]

In dictionaries, under "charisma", it should read "see: Sean Connery".

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Awwwwwwwwww. So many great movies, so many great roles.

One of the true greats.

RIP

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

No it isn’t. Connery is the best Bond is an immutable law of physics.

 

[ORRFForever]

No it isn’t. Connery is the best Bond is an immutable last of physics.

Fair enough.

 

[Juve]

Loved him in the Untouchables and The Last Crusade.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Best Bond there is, although I do think Craig is close. From Russia with Love is an all time classic movie, not just for the Bond franchise.

 

[montreal]

I never cared for any of the Bond movies but his bond movies were a good bit before my time.

he was great in Untouchables, The Rock.

some other movies I liked that he was in,

The Man Who Would be King
A Bridge Too Far
Time Bandits
The Name of the Rose
First Knight
Dragonheart

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

Sorry to hear, friend. I'm glad you're able to have at least some positive memories.

Connery turned down the role of Gandalf in the Lord Of The Rings...

 

[KCC]

I know he had retired from acting some years back and had said he was having way too much fun being retired to ever return. So that was nice to read. Rip. An all time great.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Connery turned down the role of Gandalf in the Lord Of The Rings...

Never knew that. I wonder why he turned it down.

 

[Bruhin]

Suck it Trebek!

 

[MoreOrr]

I wasn't really a Connery as Bond fan, but I liked him in almost everything else I saw him act in. Definitely an iconic actor!

 

[Guardian17]

Their best? Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and f*** the prom queen.

RIP.

I don't remember seeing this movie and I hear it was one of his great roles so instead of watching a horror film (A genre I don't like) on Halloween, I'm watching Hunt for Red October.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

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

That music in the untouchables was pretty awesome.

I don't know if it's nostalgia or what but it feels like these older movies had better scores than what we get nowadays.

Best Bond there is, although I do think Craig is close. From Russia with Love is an all time classic movie, not just for the Bond franchise.

I will never understand what people see in Craig. Zero charm. Nada. Zilch. James Bond is supposed to be a womanizer, charming guy. All the previous Bonds had it. He's just way too serious and boring.

A true legend, thank you for bringing so many happy moments to my life in your films.

Rest In Peace

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

under appreciated movie. I thoroughly enjoyed the novel, Umberto Eco’s novels are very linguistically thick. Was constantly writing down words I’d never seen before to research what they meant.

 

[Beau Knows]

Never knew that. I wonder why he turned it down.

He said he didn't understand the script, they apparently offered him 15 percent of the box office take for all three films, he would have made off like a bandit.

Because of that missed opportunity he took the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen role and hated working on that film so much that he retired.

It was Ennio Morricone. So definitely that old time feel. He did a lot of music for westerns.

Eco is always like that. Still, my favourite author.

Eco is always like that. Still, my favourite author.

I lent a copy of Foucalt's Pendulum to a good friend a decade+ ago. Saw him shortly after and he asked "what the heck does this word mean?". I told him that was a reference to the Sumerian mud origin story mythos. He looked at me like I was some holy font of godly wisdom. Never told him I had looked the word up months beforehand after reading and having no idea what it meant.

My friend ended up buying me a new copy of the book because he had written notes into every margin of words to look up while reading.
