Oh, absolutely! He was the most believable Bond in that all the Bonds after him always had a 'soft side'. Sean Connery's Bond was ice cold hard to the core and would do anything in service to the Crown. A hero, but one out of necessity more than temperment. 

There are so many roles Sir Sean did that are memorable stand-outs to me: he was magnificent in The Man Who Would Be King, courageous for doing Zardoz in that loin-cloth, spellbinding in The Untouchables, legendary as 'Dr. Jones' in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, even his brief appearance as Richard the Lionheart in Kevin Costner's Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves was perfect because who else could you get to embody the Lionheart better than Sean Connery.

I've known he's been ailing for many years now and seeing his slow decline has been tragic for such the robust character that Sir Sean Connery was. Now he joins the pantheon of other greats we've lost in recent years. Perhaps in Heaven he's making films with the likes of other 'men's men' like Carey Grant and Burt Reynolds. That would be something to see! ❣️
