    Have you thought this through Sweepy? It will be all through the night... anyway what if we don't have those movies!

    Time Bandits - he's hardly in that.

    Yeah well I didn't just want it to be Bond and didn't want too many films so I missed a few eg The Man Who Woul Be King, A Bridge Too Far, The Untouchables and Entrapment

    The reason I picked 'Time Bandits' is an excuse as it's such a funny movie. That I'd feel like watching at one in the morning LOL. I probably won't be able to do it anyway.

    I could probably think of a few more movies to add but I'd fall asleep towards the end and miss them anyway.

    The way I see it, you can't have a proper Sean Connery marathon without sticking Darby O'Gill and the Little People in there somewhere.

    OR Shalako! OR A Fine Madness!


    I'd have to have Marnie, The Anderson Tapes and Outland on my list.

    What about Highlander? :o Sweepy, if you're going to have a Sean Connery marathon, you must surely watch that as well. :D

    To be honest I gave up about half-way thrpugh (The shame) but I've watched them allnow and it's quite a journey, to round it off I bought 'Sean Connery - Being A Scot' which is a good, if not expensive read.

    I don't blame you. I would struggle with FRWL. Not the most exciting Bond film. I will buy 'Being a Scot,' despite its woeful title. It sounds like an instruction manual or something. How to be a Scotsman. Drink too much. Eat too much fatty foods. Watch your football team never win the World Cup. Die before everybody else in Europe does. There you go. Everything you need to know.
