A surprising Disney star-in-the-making in Darby O'Gill and the Little People, in 1959 when he proved to be a hottie in a G rated film...

Saw in another thread that he was a body builder at one point. Had no idea.

RIP Sean.

2004...so that would've been his last acting role in film had the director not blown the conference call for a date to the French Open?
The story isn't that [DeSantis] "couldn't win" the primary. The story is that an overwhelming majority of our population is heinously stupid. 50% of them vote for communists. 75% of the remaining 50% vote for Trump, who cant win. When the majority of the opposition party insists on voting for an opposition candidate who can't win, you get exactly the government you deserve. - Well Endowed Ag

Could we get a Sean Connery tournament going?
9 groups of 4, assigned by random number. Vote for your favorite in each group. Will take the top 16 seeds Monday night and square them of against each other. Sorry if I missed your favorite movie, but you could have done this yourself if you really cared.

VOTE NOW!

Well that explains it. Guy has always seemed like such an utter ******bag. I'm sure TC either knows people who have come across him, or met him himself, and can confirm.

Literally the only thing anyone remembers about that movie.

Never met him myself, but yeah, the guy is a complete scumbag, from everything I've heard. He was also #MeToo-ed a couple years ago - multiple women accused him of sexual harassment, which he's been notorious for his entire career - so I doubt he ever works again, regardless.

Yeah, Ratner refresher for those who had forgotten.

Here's a neat old Connery film I watched yesterday that I recommend, Wrong is Right. Great prophetic satire from 1982 about spies, politics, and weapons trafficking! It even has Leslie Nielsen!

Time Bandits just had to be grouped with two Bond films and Hunt for Red October. Damn you random number generator.

The next vote for Time Bandits will be the first vote for Time Bandits.

I didn't even vote for it. I definitely would have if it were in either Group B or Group I and maybe if were in Group E (toss up against A Bridge Too Far) or Group H (The Man Who Would Be King would have probably edged it out).

Here's the Sir Sean Connery Sweet 16. I was baffled to see the Rock limp to the #8 seed. It's in my Top 3 of his films.

VOTE!
#1 The Untouchables vs. #16 The Name of the Rose
#2 Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade vs. #15 Highlander
#3 The Hunt for Red October vs. #14 DragonHeart
#4 Thunderball vs. #13 Goldfinger
#5 A Bridge Too Far vs. #12 The Presidio
#6 Entrapment vs. #11 You Only Live Twice
#7 Never Say Never Again vs. #10 Dr. No
#8 The Rock vs. #9 The Man Who Would Be King
La Migra

Clearly very few people have seen The Hill. It is a great movie and he does an excellent job in it.

It's an intense movie about some brutal and callous people, but it is one of his top films and top performances.

Is it about the 2020 election?

Watched a neat 90s thriller with Connery called Just Cause. I've seen it before but it ages well and I highly recommend it! Ed Harris is a scary dude as is Lawrence Fishburne!
