Never Say Never Again (1983)

Connery appears as James Bond for the seventh time, with co-star Kim Basinger, in what many fans see as a standalone film in the franchise. An adaptation of previous 007 movie Thunderball, Never Say Never Again marked the actor's return to the series 12 years after he starred in Diamonds Are Forever. The movie was seen as an "unofficial" Bond film because it wasn't produced by EON Productions, the company behind the previous flicks.
