Sean was my favourite Bond actor.

Most of us here grew up with Mr Connery. God speed Sean👍

I really liked him as the Russian Captain in "Hunt for Red October". Interesting person and great actor.

First memory of him is from watching Darby O'Gill and the Little People.

A thank you for all the entertainment provided over the years.

Never understood the fascination with Connery , not much of an actor , and kind of a jackass in real life .

My fascination with Sir James was with his acting and personal life.
His work continues to give me pleasure.

So sad ews, but certainly more cause for remembrance than tears.

My older brother worked as an usher in the local theatre. He would sneak me in the exit to watch movies.

I'll never forget my first 007 film. I was blown away by the great locations, the cars, the bright colors, and the soundtrack. Look at those lovely girls! It was during the "British Invasion," and we kids were enchanted by anything we imagined was English. I thought 007 was the baddest MOFO on the planet. Thanks, Sir Sean!

I don't think there will be any argument that no one looked cooler on a Guzzi than Sean

RIP Dishes. Best Bond ever. Fantastic in The Untouchables.

That's just too bad, Dusty! 😁

I think many were fascinated by his projection of rugged elegance, latent aggression and lewdness. Some might say masculinity....

In any case, I raise a glass of great scotch in his memory.

He was kind of like John Wayne,no matter what character he played he was always Jame Bond,a symbol of British imperialism and modern materialism.Along with HughHefner,one of my early role models.

ozarquebus · « **Reply #13 on:** October 31, 2020, 08:37:55 PM »

Loved him as an actor. One of the best. I saw him once in 1972 in Missouri USA of all places as a guest appearance with the Amazing Mustang Dare Devils in the first year after Roger Moore replaced him. He must have been hard up for cash if he was touring with the Amazing Mustang Dare Devils. He did not appear as tall in person and had a big belly.

We may yet see him again..
He could die another day.

Huzo · « **Reply #17 on:** November 01, 2020, 03:28:57 AM »

I’m not convinced Sean Coronary was the best Bond..
I thought Roger Moore’s semi comedic approach was the most entertaining, he didn’t take himself too seriously.
Like the Austin Powers take on it all...

Sasquatch Jim · « **Reply #18 on:** November 01, 2020, 09:01:18 AM »

I liked him in "The Hill". One of his little known early films.

Sasquatch Jim · « **Reply #19 on:** November 01, 2020, 09:03:37 AM »

I liked him in "The Hill", and he wasn't even the star.

ozarquebus · « **Reply #20 on:** November 01, 2020, 10:35:09 AM »

It came as a surprise to me, I thought he would Die Another Day (Brosnan)

LowRyter · « **Reply #21 on:** November 01, 2020, 11:42:40 AM »

This is my favorite Bond "stunt". Probably not a stunt, just pretty cool Sean.

Connery - order a Martini...Shaken... not shlurred! :)

Connery was suave, Roger Moore was excellent as well, especially in the Lotus Turbo Esprit with Barbara Bach by his side....what a combo!

All those feathers, and he still hasn't learned to fly...great 1 liners!

"The Hill" was rather dark...but he was GREAT (IMHO) in "The Wind and the Lion"

No love for "Outland" or "Zardoz" ?

Sure glad I own some of his movies before they get banned and redone with modern day characters.

Huzo · « **Reply #28 on:** November 02, 2020, 12:01:33 PM »

I’m reminded of the line uttered by Bryan Brown..
Actors are just people who are good at pretending that they’re something they’re not..

Wildroamer · « **Reply #29 on:** November 02, 2020, 12:23:19 PM »

I think I'd have to pick From Russia with Love as my favorite of his Bond films. His fight with Quint in the rail car was epic! There's negative crap posted about people everywhere, some true, some not. I'd certainly not be bringing it up on a posthumous tribute thread, but that's just me.
