Best Sean Connery Movies to Stream

Best known for originating the role of James Bond in movies, the Scottish actor had a career that lasted nearly 60 years, most of which he spent playing a variety of “man’s man” roles — from suave spies to violent brutes. At a time when most popular British thespians were known as Shakespearean-trained aesthetes, Connery became an international star with a screen presence that was earthier and sexier.

His musical highland burr and awe-inspiring physicality immediately drew eyes and ears, even when he was playing opposite some of the most accomplished and attractive performers of his generation. These 15 movies go beyond Bond (though there a couple of can’t-miss 007 adventures in there) to illustrate how Connery commanded the screen, from his roguish youth to his distinguished latter years.

Paul McCartney Carpool Karaoke. Jane Fonda: ‘I’m 80! I keep pinching myself. I can’t believe it!’ Jane Fonda has ruined me.

Jane Fonda: ‘I’m 80! I keep pinching myself. I can’t believe it!’

I never want to interview anyone under the age of 80 again. Specifically, I never want to interview anyone who isn’t 80, and who doesn’t phone me for a catch-up call from a limo in Cannes, in which they are being driven to the airport, having gone to a deeply glamorous film festival party the night before and now finding themselves, as Fonda puts it delicately, “slightly hungover”.

Fonda isn’t even hugely interested in Cannes these days, not like back in the day “when people wore their own clothes and went there to talk about movies”. No, she’s hungover in the limo, but wants to talk about the Black Lives Matter movement; about what she has recently learned of the mass incarceration of African-Americans in her country and how it isn’t enough for white women like her to be empathetic.

They have to stand up and make this stop, because America is a country built on slavery and it isn’t over yet. The tragic romance that shaped Meryl Streep’s life. In 1978, a young Meryl Streep was on the verge of becoming the greatest actress of her generation.

Marlon on Marlon… the Brando tapes. Listen to Me Marlon review – Brando in his own words. There’s an eerie, unearthly fascination to this documentary, which broadcasts for the first time selections from Marlon Brando’s private audio tapes: recordings he made as musings, diary entries, and self-hypnosis mantras to cure everything from anxiety to obesity.

Listen to Me Marlon review – Brando in his own words

(He would address himself: “Listen to me, Marlon …”) That unmistakable voice becomes a distinctly Kurtzian commentary for his own life, which director Stevan Riley juxtaposes with stills, newsreel material and interviews. At the beginning and end, Riley even uses a digital “map” that Brando had once made of his face and that extraordinary Roman head to animate readings. The result is a disturbing Max Headroom-ish seance, like a sci-fi movie about a secret plan to keep Brando alive.

Marlon Brando shows his wiener (1949) Harry Dean Stanton: gentleness, sensitivity, gallantry and painful masculinity. It took a German director to notice one of cinema’s most iconic American faces: in 1984, when this actor was 58 years old.

Harry Dean Stanton: gentleness, sensitivity, gallantry and painful masculinity

He had been there all along. After decades of supporting roles and character parts, playing opposite the big stars and loyally showcasing their grandstanding with his own calm stillness and occasionally with his own beautiful singing voice, Harry Dean Stanton had become craggily gaunt in his ascetic handsomeness, like some Bergmanian pastor or the farmer in Grant Wood’s painting American Gothic. Fear and Longing in the Outback: Peter Weir’s Nostalgic Australian Cinema. In celebration of one of the most prominent directors of Australian New Wave, we dissect two of Peter Weir’s iconic films, determining their value as both Australian classic and cinema of the world.

Peter Weir has turned 73. Renowned for his international productions like Dead Poets Society (1989) and The Truman Show (1998), his home-grown claim to fame is perhaps even more striking. As a leading figure in the Australian New Wave cinema movement of the 1970s and 1980s, much of the film industry – local and worldwide – remains influenced by his work.

Clint Eastwood occupies the same position in pop culture that Keith Richards does: he has been around for ever; he has done tons of amazing work; he embodies the rebellious, iconoclastic spirit of the mid-60s; and he has never sold out and become a joke like just about everyone else in his generation. Even timid, self-effacing men who have never fired a gun, much less puffed on a stogie, secretly wish that they could just once sport that filthy poncho, bite down on that cigarillo and fill the streets of Laredo with lead.

When push comes to shove, Eastwood, the original rock-star cowboy, can always fall back on the statement: “I’m Clint Eastwood, and you’re not.” So there.
