Sad news for all Bond Fans, etc.
Sean Connery has died aged 90.
Vale Sean, We will always remember the " name is Bond, James Bond."
Rest well old Friend.
He was James Bond for my generation. Check out the movie "Robin and Marion". Connery and Audrey Hepburn. It is the best Robin Hood movie I have ever seen.
As far as I'm concerned HE WAS the one and ONLY James Bond, all the rest couldn't hope to hold a match up to him.
And, IF I remember correctly, he was also in the film " The Longest Day" as well a number of other films based on WWII.
@Sticks48 I'll have to watch "The Longest Day" to check upon it BUT I think he played an ordinary soldier in one of the Beach landing scenes.
He played a really great role in " Hunt for Red October" and it beats me WHY the f**k they cast that rank maniac Mel Gibson in the role of William Wallace in "Braveheart" when Connery could do a far, far better job with his eyes closed AND he had the Scots accent to boot.
Btw, I have the twin pack DVD of Longest Day and Tora, Tora, Tora in my ever growing collection.
Yes indeed. A great Bond, and a great Scotsman. Tonight I'll watch my copy of You Only Live Twice (1967). My favourite Connery Bond.
Instead of watching my copies of his Bond films tonight I might just watch one of his lesser known films " The Molly Maguires."
