2020 can fuck right off.

Tragic

One of the all time greats. So many great performances as well as being the undisputed greatest Bond, will be hugely missed.

He had dementia didn’t he?

Awful to hear though.. seldom has anyone brought more gravitas to the screen...

90 is still a fair innings. What an actor and what a life

I was never a Bond fan but loved Sean as an actor, his voice was perfection

RIP Sean

Sad news. RIP

An undeniable acting institution and a legend in his own right. A tragic loss but a good run.

RIP.

Your "best"! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen.

That’s a sad one. Was a real family thing as a kid watching Bond films on tv. He was great as Bond

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #14 on:** October 31, 2020, 12:43:19 pm »

A real acting legend gone, but what a life and career he had. Obviously the Bond stuff will be prominent but he starred in so many good films. The Hunt for Red October and First Knight being two favourites of mine.

stevo7 · « **Reply #15 on:** October 31, 2020, 12:45:18 pm »

One of my favourite performance of his was in The Man Who Would Be King. Also had to study Hell Drivers where he acted along with Stanley Baker.

OHMSS is probably my favourite Bond movie with George Lazenby, But Connery is Bond.

RIP

Red Beret · « **Reply #16 on:** October 31, 2020, 12:47:26 pm »

Probably The Untouchables for me, although Highlander and The Rock are guilty pleasures.

The Man who would be King is fantastic, and he was fun in The Last Crusade.

Nice touch.

What a legend. RIP

My favourite Sean Connery moment was watching The Rock in a French cinema and his voice being dubbed by a French bloke trying to impersonate him.

Only one bond!

I'll never forget watching this at the time, the emotions of that night and then THAT montage with his incredibly moving voice. RIP Sean.

What an actor he was.

Loved his movies.

RIP

Some personal faves From Russia with Love, Dr No, The Hill, Time Bandits, Murder on the Orient Express, even the cult Disney film Darby O'Gill and his 'attempt' at an Irish accent

disgraced cake · « **Reply #28 on:** October 31, 2020, 01:06:32 pm »

He was a great actor and in many brilliant movies, but when I think of him I always associate him with Istanbul

Legendary actor.

90 is pretty good.

Oh dear! My favourite Bond....I just loved him.

Just didn't expect a Bond to die, even at 90.

RIP Sean.

This year just goes from bad to worse. Another childhood great gone. What an amazing actor and carried the Bond franchise with such distinction. Will be greatly missed.

Samie · « **Reply #36 on:** October 31, 2020, 01:27:18 pm »

My favourite role of his outside of Bond is from THE ROCK.

This. What a fucking legend the guy was, didn't do too bad for a milkman from Fountainbridge in Edinburgh. RIP big guy, time to get the Bond films out again. And Zardoz of course.
