Hello dear Art and friends! My head has recovered from the St. Patrick celebration and I double checked I´m in the correct thread now...

... and following the saying... "what happens in a pub, stays in a pub" I will re-post here my answer to our dear Art theme for this edition of WS.
Hello dear Art: a great theme you choose. I´m very fond of cinema and the films you brought to your opening post and those posted by our friends bring me so many fond memories of nice hours spent in the theater seats.
To answer your theme I bring four favorite films and related them with watches in my collection. Here they are:
As you know I´m a big fan of James Bond character. And among all great actors playing 007 Sean Connery is my favorite (though I recognize every actor gave the character a personal touch and charm).
Goldfinger is my favorite film of the early Bond era:
And here the watches:
Not a big crown but the most similar Bond Submariner I own:
And the Pussy Galore watch...
Another favorite film ...
My Williard Seiko...
BLOW UP
A cult film from the 1960´s based on a short tale by Argentine writer Julio Cortazar and directed by Michelangelo Antonioni.
Beautiful actress Vanessa Redgrave showed a Submariner with black leather straps on that film:
Redgrave´s Submariner was a rare Explorer dial version.
Here a similar watch from that era I own though with the standard dial of course:
Last but not least the film about Neil Armstrong life in times of the Moon Landing saga...
My watch: ref 105.012-65 from 1966/67 similar reference as the one Armstrong was wearing in those years...
Have a nice and relaxed weekend dear Art and all friends here!!
Best cordial regards, Abel
