Let's face it, if Sean Connery is in a movie, I want to see it. Sunday we did two Sean Connery films.
Highlander" and "The Untouchables". That is a very satisfying Father's Day. 12 years ago we did a different double feature of Sean Connery films, "Goldfinger" and "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. If you would enjoy a little piece of history, below is a vlog post I did for that event.

We went to see the film again this week, almost exactly a year after our last big screen viewing, which you can read about here: Last Crusade 2024.
I don't have a lot of new things to say, I have written about the film many times before, but as I promise in the header, "If I Saw it in a Theater, you will read about it here."
The chemistry between Connery and Harrison Ford is incredible, It's too bad they did not get a chance to work together again, because I could imagine an action film like "The Hunt for Red October" with a cerebral thriller featuring these two great actors. I love the scene between them on the airship where Indy is reminiscing about their strained relationship and Dr. Jones Senior takes him to task for leaving just as he got interesting. The flummoxed look on Harrison Ford's face and the defiant tone in Connery's voice made for a humorous but also personal moment in the film.
Connery also got to ham it up with Denholm Elliot in several scenes and leave us with a much better impression of his character than the stern and cold father that Indy remembers. When in doubt, ALWAYS see "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade", and always see it on a big screen.
