1.Indiana Jones Trilogy (Box Set) [1984] starring: Harrison Ford, Karen Allen, Kate Capshaw, Ke Huy Quan, Amrish Puri directed by: Steven Spielberg October 20, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.99
The films are superb as they are and they are just enhanced with this brilliant box set. A few great things about this set is you get interviews with George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Harrison at the end of each film, the film quality has been digitally remastered and the sound, and the box that holds all the videos is nice too! So all in all well worth the money for any Indy fan!

2.The Name Of The Rose [1986] [1987] starring: Jean-Jacques Annaud\|Sean Connery\|F. Murray Abraham\|Christian Slater
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.69
I was being lazy when I chose to rent this DVD. I've decided to make a short cut and not to read the source novel (because anyone who's read Umberto Eco's wordy work will appreciate that it is a full time job in itself) but to watch the adaptation instead, and what a bitter disappointment it was. It's just a complete parody on "the Medieval" , Connery who is not one of my favourite actors in any event is just plain hideous and proves the point that he is not cut out for roles of this calibre. So, now I'd have to read the book after all just to see what I've missed. Moral: never make the short cuts!

3.Marnie [1964] starring: Tippi Hedren, Sean Connery, Diane Baker directed by: Alfred Hitchcock April 21, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.48
One of the more unusual entries into the Hitchcock cannon, which admittedly covers a lot of ground, Marnie is ultimately an unconvincing and, at times, dull movie which, simply, doesn't work. Tippi Hedren, in her second and final starring role for Hitchcock, is miscast (to be kind) as the titular character Marnie Edgar and Sean Connery, who at the time was one of the biggest stars in the movie world thanks to his on-going success in the Bond series, is equally ill at ease as Mark Rutland (walking around saying "old bean" all the time), the man who not only forces Marnie into marriage when he recognises her as a thief, but compounds that by raping her on their honeymoon. It's certainly an interesting scenario and I dare say that a better cast ... Read More:

4.The Hill [1965] starring: Sean Connery, Harry Andrews, Ian Bannen, Alfred Lynch, Ossie Davis directed by: Sidney Lumet June 19, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £7.89
This is a film that works on many levels. Psychologists and philosopher's could talk about those while others might just like the sturdy plot and witty script. It rates as one of the best films I've seen. It is an oddity surely that I have got to this age and can never remember having seen it referred to anywhere in a film poll or otherwise. How can this be? It's brilliant and it's sad. Which character in the film are you?

5.ThunderBall (1965) starring: Sean Connery, Claudine Auger, Adolfo Celi, Luciana Paluzzi, Rik Van Nutter directed by: Terence Young November 03, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
After the success of "Goldfinger", the Bond producers secured the film rights to "Thunderball" and tripled the budget. The basic plot is simple but good: Largo, working for Spectre, steals atomic missiles and demands a ransom. Unfortunately, "Thunderball" is considerably longer than the previous movies, but there's less plot. The script is dull and the direction lifeless. Most of the budget seems to have been spent on the underwater sequences. But they're not well made, only chaotic and go on for way too long. They become the anticlimax of a movie that had already lost my interest. "Thunderball" is one of the few Bond movies that manages to bore me. Not recommended.

6.From Russia With Love [1963] starring: Sean Connery, Daniela Bianchi, Pedro Armendáriz, Lotte Lenya, Robert Shaw directed by: Terence Young November 03, 2003

One of the few Bond films I can watch all the way through. It is classy, not particularly silly, has interesting characters and is not over reliant on gadgetry. It is slightly better than the next best, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, by virtue of having a better Bond.

7.The Longest Day [1962] starring: Eddie Albert, Paul Anka, Arletty, Jean-Louis Barrault, Richard Beymer directed by: Ken Annakin, Andrew Marton, Bernhard Wicki, Darryl F. Zanuck February 23, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.07
Still a classic after all these years. Cornelius Ryan wrote two great books about single actions - The Longest Day and A bridge Too Far - both based on the extensive research involving many of the real people who appeared in the movie. In the Longest Day there is the additional plus that Richard Todd who plays Major Howard in the assault on what became known as Pegasus Bridge was actually Howard's second in command in the real assault. It's star studded and full of little cameos but perhaps the heroics of John Wayne and Robert Mitchum are a bit overblown for today's tastes. One little aside - my father, who went over the beach at Arromanches well remembered the bearded beachmaster with the bulldog called Churchill and he always said that he was just like the portrayal in the film.

8.You Only Live Twice [1967] starring: Sean Connery, Akiko Wakabayashi, Mie Hama, Tetsuro Tamba, Teru Shimada directed by: Lewis Gilbert (II) November 03, 2003

I have read (I am actually reading "The Man with the Golden Gun") the whole Ian Fleming works this summer, and a good decision it was... Perhaps 4,5 stars would be a better rating, but the Japanese plot idea (so much BEFORE Clancy or Crichton ever thought about it!) is a must read (always having in mind when the book was written -middle sixties-), the setting of Blofeld is probably the weakest in the trilogy... Hemingway meets E.A.Poe... I love the minus gadgets and more stamina balance, and the fact Bond REALLY is made from flesh&blood... at least on paper. I would recommend the experience of reading the books to anyone having enjoyed a film of the saga (or even not... still a better approach probably). The end is quite puzzling but the beginning of the last novel (the follow up) is really ... Read More:

9.Diamonds Are Forever [1971] starring: Sean Connery, Jill St. John, Charles Gray, Lana Wood, Jimmy Dean directed by: Guy Hamilton November 03, 2003

One of the better things about this installment is things get interesting almost immediately, despite the below average opening sequence. Bond unleashes a vat of stuff on a guy who was being made into a clone, I guess he drowned in it or something. What was that aimed at Bond, a squirt gun?. Not a very good opening, the theme song was another classic by Shirley Bassey. And of course, as is the tradition with Sean Connery's James Bond, he is drinking within the first few minutes of the film. But soon after this, Bond ends up trading identities with a man named Peter Franks and this is where it starts to get really interesting. Diamonds Are Forever deals with the villain Blofeld who is smuggling huge quantities of diamonds with the ultimate goal of using them to create a super powerful laser with which he plans ...

10.Never Say Never Again [1983] starring: Sean Connery, Klaus Maria Brandauer, Max von Sydow, Barbara Carrera, Kim Basinger directed by: Irvin Kershner April 23, 2001

For many Bond fans, the return of Sean Connery in this "unofficial" Bond entry, was an exciting opportunity to experience the Connery magic and charisma before the earlier pre-Roger Moore years. Released in 1983, the film competed head-to-head against Moore's entry, "Octopussy" which, to some critics of note, one of the better Roger Moore efforts. Obviously, this production had a more engaging cast, an entertaining story, and some good actors: Maude Adams and Lois Jourdan as Bond's nemesis than "Never Say Never Again." While it's good to have Connery back, looking actually fitter than he did in "Diamond Are Forever" in 1971, and wearing a faultless toupee, the film manages to fall short on a number of levels. Viewers should note, it is a different film; for instance, no gun barrel logo in the pre-credits sequence, ... Read More:
