Interestingly I hadn’t realised until recently that Timothy Dalton was preferred to Roger Moore after Connery left but Dalton didn’t want to be typecast.

I think I’ll have a “vodka martini, shaken not stirred” today. RIP Mr. Bond.

…might have been the first movie I had ever seen. If I recall correctly it played at the Music Hall in the South End, Boston neighborhood, which is now the ‘Wang Theater.’ Sean certainly left more of a impact on me in the Bond movies!
RIP Sean and thanks for the memories…

I’m happy to see the mention of one singular film «Zardoz» where we could seen how intense he was. I’d like to point out his role in «A fine madness», also In the name of the Rose». There was so much to him than his contributions as «James Bond».

Another favourite Connery film was The Hill. I have the DVD (a US NTSC one) but would jump at the chance to get it again if it came out on Blu-ray.

“Caccia a Ottobre Rosso”,“Il nome della rosa”.RIP legendary Sean.
Not sure if you have an AppleTV but it’s supposedly in HD on iTunes Store. Their video quality has improved significantly over the years, though trailers unless for modern movies are rarely representative of the movie quality itself.
