    Connery set the stage for "Action Films" in the debut of the "Bond" Series. A legendary actor that set the bar very high. RIP

    .While Goldfinger may have finally gotten his wish, the rest of us will have to merely wish him a safe voyage.

    RIP the REAL Bond. James Bond.

    Sean's lead role in "Marnie" was pretty darn good too!

    My favorite non-Bond Sean Connery movie was The Hunt for Red October....

    He played a Russian submarine captain with a Scottish accent and did it to perfection.

    This was surely an attention-getter today when I heard the news. Such an influential person and really set the tone for years to come. He will be missed for sure.
