So many memories of him in movies and all of them good. Even parts he took on a whim (for the cash) like Dragonheart, still resonate with me as things I liked and it was mostly because of him. His voice and personality were magnetic, and no small part of how he got the part and cemented Bond as a franchise.
RIP Sir Connery, thank you for the great memories through your work.
Connery has had many memorable roles, but whenever I think of him, it’s James Bond, and whenever I think of James Bond, it’s Connery that immediately comes to mind.
I have never seen a Bond movie with him, but I appreciated him very much in The Rock (first film I have seen with him), Indiana Jones, Outland and Hunt for the Red October. He had such presence and charisma.
Rest in peace Mr. Connery.
Loved the enthusiasm and massive charm he brought to the screen in The Man Who Would Be King, which is an all-time perfect movie. He was quite terrific as a detective in a very dark Sydney Lumet film called The Offence, and growing up in the 90s he really elevated The Hunt for Red October and The Rock. I believe the last thing I remember seeing him in was Entrapment where Catherine Zeta-Jones plays his love interest despite a 40ish year age gap. I was more concerned he was going to die during their romantic scenes than any of the shoot outs!
