Sir Thomas Sean Connery (/ˈʃɔːn ˈkɒnəri/; born 25 August 1930) is a retired Scottish actor and producer who has won an Academy Award, two BAFTA Awards (one of them being a BAFTA Academy Fellowship Award) and three Golden Globes (including the Cecil B. DeMille Award and a Henrietta Award). He was knighted by Elizabeth II in July 2000 and received the Kennedy Center Honors in the US.
Connery is best known for portraying the character James Bond, starring in seven Bond films between 1962 and 1983. In 1988, Connery won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in The Untouchables. His film career also includes such films as Marnie, The Name of the Rose, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Hunt for Red October, Highlander, Murder on the Orient Express, Dragonheart, and The Rock.
Connery has been polled as "The Greatest Living Scot" and "Scotland's Greatest Living National Treasure". In 1989, he was proclaimed "Sexiest Man Alive" by People magazine, and in 1999, at age 69, he was voted "Sexiest Man of the Century".
William Franklin "Billy" Graham, Jr., KBE (born November 7, 1918) is an American evangelical Christian evangelist, ordained as a Southern Baptist minister, who rose to celebrity status in 1949 reaching a core constituency of middle-class, moderately conservative Protestants. He held large indoor and outdoor rallies; sermons were broadcast on radio and television, some still being re-broadcast today. In his six decades of television, Graham is principally known for hosting the annual Billy Graham Crusades, which he began in 1947, until he concluded in 2005, at the time of his retirement. He also hosted the popular radio show Hour of Decision from 1950 to 1954.
Graham was a spiritual adviser to several American presidents; he was particularly close to Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon Johnson (who was considered to be one of Graham's closest friends) and Richard Nixon. He insisted on integration for his revivals and crusades in 1953 and invited Martin Luther King, Jr. to preach jointly at a revival in New York City in 1957. Graham bailed King out of jail in the 1960s when King was arrested in demonstrations. He was also lifelong friends with another televangelist, Robert H. Schuller, whom Graham talked into doing his own television ministry in Garden Grove, California, from 1970 until Schuller's retirement in 2010 (who was the longest-serving minister of the telecast), from the Neutra Sanctuary, after Schuller visited him in 1969, at an Anaheim Convention Center for one of his crusades.
The Offence with Sean Connery Filmed In Bracknell 1972. The film Offence was filmed in Bracknell in 1972. If you have lived in Bracknell like me, you will love this. I made a small 14 mins long film and edited everything out apart from all the shots done in Bracknell. Most of the outdoor parts were made at Mill Pond and the old Bracknell town so keep an eye on all the background shots and you will recognise everything. Check it out ;)

Romuald Karmakar's list of "Films you should see before it's too late" (8): THE OFFENCE. Sidney Lumet (GB/USA, 1972). Sich mit diesem Film zu beschäftigen, kann viele schöne Gründe haben: 1. Sidney Lumet. Der 1924 geborene Regisseur von Meisterwerken wie DOG DAY AFTERNOON, SERPICO, PRINCE OF THE CITY, NETWORK oder TWELVE ANGRY MEN ist einer der wichtigsten, für mich einer der inspirierendsten, lebenden Regisseure auf unserem Planeten. Da sein Kino immer weniger an unser Filmrezeptionsmuster anschlussfähig zu sein scheint, sein letzter Film BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOURRE DEAD (2007) ist bei uns nur mit wenigen Kopien gelaufen, soll jede Möglichkeit genutzt werden, Lumets „body of work mit den bescheidenen Mitteln, die wir haben, hoch- und wachzuhalten. 2. Sean Connery. Mir ist kein ...
Sean Connery says "bloody" with alarming regularity in Sidney Lumet's The Offence.
The preaching of the Cross is an offence to the non-Christian; the varied ways the Cross causes offence to the natural mind; for the Christian; the most important event of history; the glory of the Godhead shining down upon us. The Offence of the Cross - Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon Galatians 6:14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. David Martyn Lloyd-Jones (20 December 1899 -- 1 March 1981) was a Welsh Protestant minister, preacher and medical doctor who was influential in the Reformed wing of the British evangelical movement in the 20th century. For almost 30 years, he was the minister of Westminster Chapel in London. Thank you to the Martyn Lloyd-Jones Recordings Trust for permission ...

After a collision with a comet, a nearly 8km wide piece of the asteroid "Orpheus" is heading toward Earth. If it hits, it will cause an incredible catastrophe which will probably extinguish mankind. To stop the meteor, NASA wants to use the illegal nuclear weapon satellite "Hercules," but soon discovers that it doesn't have enough firepower. Their only chance to save the world is to join forces with the USSR, which has also launched such an illegal satellite. But will both governments agree?
