On 31 October, Sean Connery passed away at the age of 90. The actor signed many great roles in his lifetime as an actor but none quite as iconic as the James Bond character. Over the years, many actors have played James Bond but Connery was the first one to don that hat. While we may remember Connery for his James Bond sass, let's take a look at some of his other films that are iconic even today.
1. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
The third instalment in the Indiana Jones franchise, Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade has Connery playing father to Harrison Ford's character.
