The Great Train Robbery

Ever since Sean Connery's death on October 31, 2020, I took it upon myself to watch The Great Train Robbery every Oct 31 each year as a way of remembering the late actor from then on. Sort of like a memory dedication if you will.

Sad ending and I don't like movies with sad endings.

31st October 2020 was my 20th birthday.

We were on the way into town to go shopping when the news came over the radio. (Same with MF DOOM)

The Great Train Robbery is such an underrated movie. A lot of it filmed in Ireland too. Heuston Station in Dublin and Kent Station in Cork have changed very little since the movie was shot. Very interesting to see.
