Top 10 Sean Connery Performances


when you think of living legends this
man comes to mind with a career spanning
over 50 years I’m very sure that you
don’t have to draw on my past
experiences to formulate your
conclusions Lord Bernardo welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 Sean
Connery performances if you’re going to
San Francisco brew service this is the
penthouse you snacks drinks number 10
Robert Mac McDonald entrapment you’re
the most beautiful crook I’ve ever seen
right thank you kind sir
as Mack Connery gets the chance to play
the ladies man some 30 years after his
heyday as a sex symbol he proves he’s as
witty as ever when he and Catherine
zeta-jones attempt to pull off an art
heist worth eight billion dollars and
what is this stuff we are downloading
for most of the film it’s unclear on
whether she’s truly working against him
or with him but half the fun is watching
the sparks fly three two one number nine
Daniel Dravot
the man who would be king we’ve been all
over India we know her cities of jungles
jails and ER passes and we have decided
that she isn’t big enough or such as me
based on a Rudyard Kipling story
Connery’s character british sergeant
daniel dravot seeks fortune in kaffir
stan a land outside the reach of the
british empire
he and his fellow soldier portrayed by
Michael Caine convinced the natives that
he’s a god they think I’m a god
the far-fetched lie is made believable
by the ease of the two men’s on-screen
and real-life friendship how did you got
killed I suppose your night where would
I be at what happened again see Italian
what’s your kind of arrow a wrap for but
between that and the humour we’re on the
edge of our seats to see if their secret
will be discovered
Dorner a god I like with the shadow of
my hand or this country there is I say
sent for the gap tell him if an order
you ever negotiated with the Japanese
before negotiated hmm
perhaps I can suggest the strategy
number eight captain John Connor Rising
Sun beyond time throughout his career
Connery has always taken chances on
roles and this one is no exception
while critics gave it mixed reviews fans
loved watching Connor investigating the
murder of a prostitute it’s exhilarating
to see how he pieces together the clues
from the murder scene and uses knowledge
of Japanese affairs as a way to pinpoint
the killer the Japanese have a saying
fix the problem not to blame
find out what dug and fiction plus his
on-screen bond with Wesley Snipes is
both unexpected and fun to watch golf is
how they do business this is very
important for what I do well I guess
that makes everything alright nothing
number seven King Arthur first night I
am Arthur of Camelot and I command you
now all to party not every actor fits in
a period piece but there’s something
about Connery that exudes a refined
grand nature so it’s no surprise he was
perfect for the role of this legendary
King there’s a piece that’s only to be
found on the other side of war if that
battle must come I will fight it
while some of the cast struggled to look
like they belonged in Camelot Connery
was commanding in every scene and
audiences found themselves rooting for
his marriage and love for Guinevere
despite what the history books say marry
the king to interfere but love the man
thank you good that is a perfect way to
stop number six Juan Sanchez Villalobos
Ramirez Highlander what I do know is
that because you were born different men
will fear you this wasn’t one of Connery
smash hits but we can safely say that
his portrayal of Ramirez is a major
reason the movie became a cult classic
the film jumps back in time to trace
Ramirez is life as an immortal and we
see how he eventually becomes a mentor
to the Highlander you must learn to
conceal your special gift and harness
your power until the time of the
gathering the sci-fi flick is different
from Connery’s other roles but it just
goes to show he’s got range how do you
fight such a savage with hot faith stoop
in the end that can be only one number
five
John Patrick Mason the rock you’re not
sure let’s find out
Connery seems to be the only man that
becomes more of a badass as he ages when
given the chance to play Mason a former
prisoner of Alcatraz accused of being an
mi6 agent Connery inadvertently plays a
pseudo reincarnation of his James Bond
character I want to sweet shower shave
and the feel of a sheep
this movie is less refined than his
double O seven days but boy is it fun to
see him kicking ass and packing heat as
he attempts a reverse prison break
I’d like to know how you plan on
accomplishing that
through here
number four
Jimmy Malone the untouchables how did
you know I had a gun what do you want a
free lesson in police work even beside a
star-studded cast that features Robert
De Niro and Kevin Costner Connery has no
problem holding his own as Jim Malone
he’s the tough but paternal Irish
American cop who assists Eliot Ness in
his pursuit of the notorious Al Capone
weren’t a good Capone I guess how do you
get him he pulls a knife you pull a gun
he sends one of yours to the hospital
you say one a history log bitch they
should back away that’s how you get
Capone thanks to his powerful portrayal
Connery was awarded his first and only
Oscar for Best Supporting Actor and
earned a career resurgence as well isn’t
that just like a whop brings a knife to
a gunfight
get out of here you’d giggle bastard
number three professor Henry Jones
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
equation for the Grail is not archeology
it’s race against evil Indiana Jones is
an iconic character but in the third
installment of the franchise its Connery
who steals the show as the elder dr.
Jones we discuss this later
I should have mailed it to the Marx
brother will you take it easy take it
easy
why do you think I sent it home in the
first place so it wouldn’t fall into
their hands in reality the two men are
only 12 years apart in age but the
chemistry between Harrison Ford and
Connery is perfect dad dad it’s easy to
believe the two are father and son as
the elder repeatedly calls Indy jr. to
annoy him I came here to save you
oh yeah and who’s gonna come to save you
Junior I told you the duo is a match
made in cinematic heaven
don’t call me jr. number two
captain Marko Ramius The Hunt for Red
October a great day comrades we sail
into history
Ramius is one of the most conflicted
on-screen characters we’ve ever seen a
Soviet submarine captain leading a
standoff against the CIA he keeps us
guessing about whether he plans to
attack or defect
he’s defecting and he can’t change his
mind he’s not going to change his mind
it wasn’t about your life on that
Connery’s pokerface is just that good
it’s a tense viewing experience you
can’t resist getting sucked into no
matter how many times you’ve seen this
film besides a Russian with a thick
Scottish accent who else could make that
work Anatoly you’re afraid of our fleet
hmm you should personally I give us one
chance in three
but more to anyone before we unveil our
number one pick here are a few honorable
mentions they got some contests at
school this writing thing you have into
one of those writing contests
yeah once a long time ago
did you win well of course I won
like money as on the Pulitzer this one
immigrant you not commit submission
what don’t you understand I found a cure
for the plague of the 20th century and
now I’ve lost haven’t you ever lost
anything dr. Bronx now designed this
like a collapsing back McDonald here has
agreed to man the wireless in order to
get the Germans something to listen to
and all the Padres and the medical staff
a volunteer to stay behind as well
now the wounded who are too bad to move
will replace the men firing so a defense
will seem as before
well the kind the Germans find out
what’s happening we should all be safely
across the river pleasant journey captor
number one
I admire your luck mr. bond James Bond
James Bond the James Bond series
we’re not even going to attempt to
debate who the best bond is but like any
former double-oh-seven actor knows this
role is as good as it gets
who are you my name is Pussy Galore I
must be dreaming
James Bond is the quintessential cool
guy spy that can’t be played by any
average Joe shocking Connery almost
didn’t land the role but after an
impressive audition and some persuasion
he starred in seven Bond films and set
the gold standard for all super spies to
come
