Yep. I used to be an avid reader of the Bond books and I always had the mental picture of Connery.

A sad loss!
One of my favourite Sean Connery films was “The Hill” and I really liked his role in “The Longest Day”. I think that he just played himself in that role.
RIP

Craig lacks the stature and suave but nails the action stuff IMHO.. Bit of mission impossible about the later Bond movies which doesn't appeal as much to me..

Bit of mission impossible about the later Bond movies which doesn't appeal as much to me..Perhaps, Brosnan was carp, didnt like Roger Moore either. Anyway, Connery was so much more than just Bond, what he crammed into 90 years would equate to 270 of ours I'd imagine.
Re: RIP Sean Connery - kruddler - 11-01-2020
My personal preference would be Connery, then Brosnan before Craig/Moore etc.
Brosnan bought the suave nature that i always liked from Connery.
Craig is just an action star and i can't watch the later ones. I did like Casino Royale remake though.
BTW, surprised nobody has brought up Indiana Jones and the last crusade. Loved that movie as a kid and thought Connery was so good in it. Both watching it as a kid, and now.
Of course the untouchables is worth a mention too.
