 :'(   The first Sean Connery film I saw was THUNDERBALL,  back when it came out in the theaters.  My father took family & me to see it.   He'd been in the Navy U. D. T.  during the Korean War ..... so I guess he thought I'd be interested in it because of all the underwater stuff in the film. 

I have the DVD of it somewhere ..... I'll have to dig it out and watch it again .... in 007's memory (Connery wasn't the only JAMES BOND,  but he WAS the BEST  James Bond!!!!!).

I just saw it: https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-54761824

IMHO, Connery was the best who ever portrayed James Bond. He defined the role, and none of the others could match his portrayal.

R.I.P., Mr. Bond.

2020 takes another good one. 

Rest easy,  Mr. Connery.

I'm also impressed with the restraint you degenerates have shown, given this forum's favorite movie.

Just like in 1983 we have two James Bonds

I suspect he'll soon merge with the infinite.

The great Zardoz has fallen!

Despair, world!


(Seriously, though, rest in peace, Mr. Connery, you provided a lot of great memories.)

I've seen nothing to confirm this.  He was 90 years old,  and reportedly in failing health recently,  so I'm going to guess that it was old age.





.....either that or THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN. [tinfoil]
