You beat me to it. Perhaps I was a bit slower than you because I posted a link?

[Damien]

I never realised Sean Connery was 90. What a legend.

[DavidM]

The Bond for me , but won his Oscar for The Untouchables

Said before The Name of the Rose is one of my all time faves I keep on my iPad ... elementary my dear Adzo

[Futtocks]

Talking Pictures TV showed the excellent 1957 film Hell Drivers the other day. Sean was the last of the stars of that to go.

God knows I've tried

Would it be in bad taste to remind everyone of a famous line from one of the Bond films, "No, Mr Bond. I expect you to die."

Yes, it probably would.

The obits I've seen so far all seem to ignore the film "Marnie". Sean Connery and Tippi Hedren. I liked it, but it was controversial.

[Spidey]

Goldfinger or You Only Live Twice would be my favourite SC Bond films

Untouchables great. But loved The Rock & Highlander

Iconic Actor

[DavidM]

When they were making the lavish big screen version of Murder on the Orient Express they wanted an all star cast ... and had the philosophy of getting the biggest first then everyone would follow . That was Sean ...which is something when you look at that cast 

[Futtocks]

Someone's just reminded me of his film 'The Hill', which is another great one. And, of course, 'The Man who would be King'.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

As a manic Bond fan, Connery has been a major part of my life since I was a kid. We have lost a true great today and I genuinely had a tear in my eye when I saw the news. Rest in peace Mr. Bond, you're drinking martinis and playing baccarat with Roger Moore in that utopian casino in the sky for all eternity now!

Talking of big ensemble casts he pops up in The Longest Day

He was really excellent in The Hill , his first escape route really from Bond

Sean and pc in the same sentence ... never!

[DavidM]

The Russia House , that was another good film . But Michelle Pfeiffer was in it ...

[Jeff Stein]

The Offence. A tough watch but a brilliant performance from Connery. Has the 70s ever looked so bleak?

[GUBRATS]

One his best lines ( very bondesque in humour ) was in The Rock when he was captured by Edd Harris's gang of mercenaries 

" What are you ? Her Majesties SAS " , classic Bond humour
