Oh no. Say it ain't so.
What a loss. So many astonishingly good performances and memorable characters. Sir Sean will live forever on the big screen.
His role as Captain Marko Ramius in The Hunt for Red October remains one of my all-time favorites by any actor in any film.
Rest in peace, sir.

A Bridge Too Far, The Untouchables and, The Persidio are some of my favorites of his. May be gone but can never be forgotten.
Bond, James Bond. None of the others came close. R.I.P. Sean Connery, from what I have heard you lead a hell of a life.

Without a doubt the best Bond but my personal favorite role was that of Sgt. Danny Dravot in The Man Who Would be King.
James Bond now rejoins ***** Galore. The Hill and The Man Who Would be King, Two that I enjoy watching.

Preceded by Sir Roger Moore and Dame Diana Rigg. All in this cursed year...
He was definitely a favorite of mine. What a loss.
This +1000. He was an awesome actor. I'm going to have to find a Sean flick to watch today sometime.

My wife's favorite Indiana Jones movie is "The Last Crusade" because Connery is in it.
Everyone who plays Bond is measured against him and all come up short.

What a fantastic movie, and a life lesson as well.
Michael Caine's Peachy Carnehan speech to Rudyard Kipling to end the movie:
"And old Danny fell. Round and round and round and round, like a penny whirligig. Twenty thousand miles and it took him half an hour to fall before he struck the rocks. But do you know what they did to Peachy? They crucified, him, sah, between two pine trees. As Peachy's hands will show.
[Peachy displays the mutilated palms of his hands to Kipling]
Put poor Peachy who had never done them any harm. He howled there and he screamed, but he didn't die. And one day they come and they took him down and they said it was a miracle he wasn't dead and then they set him down and they let him go. And Peachy come home, in about, a year. And the mountains they tried to fall on old Peachy, but he was quite safe because Daniel walked before him. And Daniel never let go of Peachy's hand and Peachy never let go of Daniel's head.
Rudyard Kipling : His head?
You knew Danny, sir. Oh, yes, you knew, most Worshipful Brother.
[Takes something out of the sack he is carrying and places it on a table]
Daniel Dravot, Esquire. Well, he became king of Kafiristan, with a crown on his head and that's all there is to tell. I'll be on my way now sir, I've got urgent business in the south, I have to meet a man in Marwar Junction.
[Peachy limps out of the room. Kipling opens the sack and removes Daniel's decaying head with the golden crown still on his head]
What a moment, what a story, what a movie!!

I thought he’d live forever. What a cursed year.
I actually didn’t care for him as Bond that much, maybe because the early Bond movies weren’t that spectacular.
Like good Scotch, Connery got better as he got older. He will always be my favorite medieval monk and Islamic terrorist
R.I.P.
Oh yeah, and “The Rock”.
“What do you want me to do, kill him again?” Priceless.
