Connery's favourite film - FRWL or TB?

Brosnan_fan

I have read completely contradictory info about this on IMDb - does anyone here know exactly which film it is?

Thanks in advance.

I always read From Russia with Love everywhere.

I think that was the favorite of Michael G. Wilson, Barbara Brocolli, Timothy Dalton and Daniel Craig too. (Don't quote me on any of this though)

Everything I have ever read, heard or otherwise ingested indicates that From Russia With Love was Connery's favourite. I have never heard of Thunderball being his favourite...

I've read more than one interview where he stated FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE was his favourite. He felt the gadgets took over after that & the character got lost in the spectacle.

I too have read that FRWL was his favourite.

There have been a few websites saying Thunderball was his favorite, but it was their error.

His favorite was indeed From Russia With Love. In interviews, he himself said he enjoyed when his films were about genuine storytelling and disliked how they moved toward what he called excessive hardware.

I've heard towards the end of filming Thunderball, Connery started to get bored with the role.

Connery stated his best performance as Bond came in Thunderball and it was his fav Bond film.

Maybe someone should ask Sean, he's always so happy to be
Stopped in the street and asked questions about Bond. )

I think Sean's favourite Bond film is Octopussy, Roger was so
Good it that.

He knows Roger was in the better Bond film of 1983 -{

Did you see him in that BBC 2 Documentary when he kept being asked questions about Bond, TP? )

He has a certain reputation, shall we say... )

I've heard both but read and heard Connery himself state multiple times that FRWL is his favorite.
