I just read the news that the iconic Sean Connery has died aged 90. With his distinctive voice and magnetism, he was great to watch on screen. Obviously he originated the role of James Bond and remains my favourite, but he gave plenty of other excellent performances over his career. May he rest in peace.

I much preferred him when he wasn’t being Bond. Like in ‘Outland’, ‘The Hill’, ‘The Russia House’, and others. He did well to get to 90, and joins a list of many other quite famous people who died this week.
This is one of his lesser-known films, and really worth watching.

Bond… James Bond…
Those 3 words defined cinema. He will be missed as he’s my dad’s favorite Bond.
Daniel Craig said it best as he hopes there’s a golf course up in the sky knowing that Connery did love playing golf.

I am so sad. His magnetism was incomparable and I would even go so far as to say that his screen presence was almost unique in its power.
