Last Crusade - " I suddenly remembered my Charlemagne."
The Rock - "Goodspeed, I'm not going to kill you."
Untouchables - "Well, the Lord hates a coward."

Molly Maquires is a great one, plus all the 007 movies he made. classic times and smooth character. But he made many great films/stories , if you did not know he played 007 and saw the other movies, you never knew his james bond role. the great train robbery was a good one as well, not a huge hit, just good story and sly humor.

RIP Sir Sean. but at least he died in his favorite place, the Bahamas

The only man for whom my wife would have left me without question. :lol:

He was a good 'un.

Even his parodies were great. "I’ll take The Rapists for $200, Alex!" "rlol"

One of my favorite actors. I saw Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves in the theater. When Sean Connery rode in as King Ricard, he got a standing ovation.

As with Anthony Hopkins, I would pay money to listen to Connery reading the phone book.

:cryin

The Rock for me is a stupid movie I liked him in. The Hunt for Red October is another classic in a different sense. And let's not forget The Man Who Would Be King.

RIP

"Hey, Ryan, be careful what you shoot at. Most things in here don't react too well to bullets."

I remember reading the book before seeing the movie. I thought the movie stuck very close to the book.

RIP Sir Connery! One of my favorites is a little known movie of his titled "A Fine Madness" made in the midst of his Bond roles. Quirky, irreverent and so different from James Bond.

Well, since no one has mentioned it, my favorite was the 1976 "Robin and Marian."
Sean Connery, Audrey Hepburn, and Robert Shaw. An excellent adaptation of the death of Robin Hood.
