Today the legendary actor Sean Connery - the very first and beloved James Bond - is gone. The world remembered him for his ironic smile, the image of a real British and, of course, thanks to his role as agent 007. He played many more famous roles, and in 2003 he left the cinema and settled with his wife in the Bahamas, where he lived until the end of his life. His contribution to cinema is difficult to overestimate - that's why today we remember the 5 best films with Sean Connery.

James Bond films

Sean Connery starred in seven Bond films, and last appeared as 007 at 53.

"The Untouchables", 1987

The film "The Untouchables" tells the story of the confrontation between a group of agents of the US Treasury Department and the gangster group of the famous Al Capone. Although Connery plays a secondary role in the film, it is from him that most of the jokes in the picture come, and he also seems to be a connecting link between all the characters. The film was awarded a large number of awards, including the main film prize - Connery received an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, as well as a Golden Globe.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, 1989

Another role thanks to which Sean Connery became one of the most recognizable actors of his time. In this film, he played an adult professor of archeology - the father of the famous Indiana Jones. In the film, father and son seek the holy grail, embarking on various adventures along the way.

The Name of the Rose, 1986

The film is set in the 14th century: Franciscan monk William of Baskerville, played by Sean Connery, investigates a series of tragic deaths of monks in a monastery in northern Italy. Interesting detective story, for which Connery received a BAFTA award for Best Actor.

"The Rock", 1996

Another spy role for Sean Connery, which he played 13 years after the release of the last James Bond film starring him. An exciting story about a prison break and all the adventures that come with it. One of the main roles in the film was also played by Nicolas Cage.
