J.C. 244 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 The end of an era. He shall live on in his films and in our collective memory. One of my favourite actors! LSP_K2, mpk, Daniel Leduc and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Tnarg 1,634 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 "Shaken, not stirred" or in the worst case SNL "S-Words or Swords?" He was the best Bond that could be.... even though Ian Fleming said he (Bond, not Connery) "is no Riley". Check out Sam Neil in that really old BBC/PBS series. What an amazing guy with a great legacy of work. Red October makes me believe all Russians could have an English accent. Tnarg Uncarina 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Uncarina 5,783 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) “The Man Who Would Be King” is one of my top 10 movies, maybe top five. Miss him already. Tom Edited November 1, 2020 by Uncarina Kagemusha and J.C. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Rick Griewski 3,744 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 His films are always been the only ones I can binge watch. (Star Wars for my young Nephews). One of my better plane flights to Paris was wine and three 007 films. That was the first time I saw Gold Finger since I was 12yo. It may be time to watch his films from his beginnings.

J.C. 244 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Does anyone remember his role as King Agamemnon in Time Bandits? Classic! Tnarg and thierry laurent 2 Link to post Share on other sites
mustang1989 1,903 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Grew up watching this guy in the movies. He's been gone from the movie scenes for a while now but he's gonna be missed. Helluva actor!! Link to post Share on other sites
Rockie Yarwood 426 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Best Bond ever, but so versatile too. Loved him in The Untouchables and Robin and Marian, and he absolutely stole the scene(s) in Indiana Jones and the Last crusade! May he rest in peace.

MikeC 3,273 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) I was sorry to hear of this. I'm not a fan of Bond (I prefer my spies by Le Carre or Deighton), but that character was only a small part of his canon. MrsC and I have 7 DVDs with him in our collection, and had a bit of a binge-fest yesterday as a sort of tribute. Started with A Bridge too Far, followed by The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Hunt for Red October. That leaves The Longest Day, Last Crusade, The Russia House (from the book by the great John Le Carre), and The First Great Train Robbery. The latter contains a wonderful scene between Sean Connery and Pamela Salem: "Tight fitting jointsh". Maybe we'll see one or more of those today. But in Longest Day, who on earth thought of giving a well-known supporter of the Scottish Nationalist cause the line "It takes an Irishman to play the pipes"??? RIP.
