    Sad news. He was Bond, the others were just substitutes.

    Not forgetting his amazing character John Mason in "The Rock". One of my favourites :)

    This is proper shit news though. 

    The man was a legend. 
    I remember in college we had to write a piece on someone (no idea why, it was an engineering course), but I wrote about Sean. 

    For me he was Bond. I liked the others too but Seans films are my favourites. 

    A guilty pleasure of mine is The league of extraordinary gentlemen, he played Alan Quartermain in that.

    A legend. Sad news, sympathy to his family and friends but fucking hell, if you’ve got to go then dying in your sleep at age 90, in the Bahamas, is a pretty fucking good way to check out.

    That is indeed a great film.  I'm also a fan of The Man Who Would Be King and The Untouchables (although not so much for Connery's performance in the latter).  And I must mention Hell Drivers (although he had a minor role).  And...loads of other things.

    And yes he was the best Bond.

    I like it too, although Connery reportedly fell out so badly with Stephen Norrington that he never did another live action film!

    Yeah I read about that! 
    Nuts. 

    I wasnt familiar with the comics myself but thought it was a fairly enjoyable film.

    Great tribute from Edgar Wright, he's picked out all the best Connery stuff:

    "It says something for the extraordinary charisma of this Edinburgh lad to have created the most iconic character in film & then, rather than be typecast by it, become equally famous for just being Sean Connery. A real screen legend; oft imitated (by all!) but never equalled. 

    "Though all of his Bond instalments are fun and two are among my favs of the series (From Russia With Love & Goldfinger), here are some non Bond Connery films I dearly love; Hell Drivers (a supporting role, but a badass flick), The Frightened City (clearly a dry run for Bond) 

    "Hitchcock's Marnie, Sidney Lumet's The Hill, The Anderson Tapes & The Offence, the bonkers Zardoz, John Huston's rollicking The Man Who Would Be King, Richard Lester's elegiac Robin & Marian, his cameo in Time Bandits, but let's not forget of course his amazing last act...

    "From charming immortal Ramirez to Henry Jones Sr, from being the rock in the centre of the best Michael Bay film to his incredible Oscar winning turn as Malone in The Untouchables, Sean Connery had a hell of a run. Have a vodka martini & a dram of whiskey for him tonight."
