Actually Peebs---- concerning the three you're saying "no" to,  CAVILL is the only exception I'd make.  But too, probably because he's the only one of those three that I've HEARD of. 

Kit Harrington and Robert Pattison are too young, to me.  Maybe in a few years.  Connery and Craig are more menacing, tough, world-weary.   Cavill's best role, IMO, was as the bad guy in the most recent Mission Impossible.  I'd vote for him to be a Bond villain, maybe an agent gone rogue.

I remember seeing the Siskel & Ebert review (S&E aired at a weird time slot on my local cable, at like 10:30 p.m. on Sunday nights. I never missed it in high school or college. It was absolute essential viewing)

I loved Siskel & Ebert.  I didn't always agree with them but it was a great way to find out about new smaller movies.  It's too bad that there isn't just a show that reviews new movies anymore. I know that they tried different versions of it after Siskel and Ebert passed away.  (A.O. Scott and Michael Phillips did it for a short time.  They were my favorite although not as feisty as S & E.)

He said to him they are not classic movies. They're just movies-- movies he saw first run in the theaters when they originally premiered.

We have an older friend who loves movies and saw many of what we consider "classics" when they came out.  But there are movies that we were surprised he had never seen.  We recommended "The More The Merrier" and "Talk of the Town".  He never liked Jean Arthur for some reason growing up but really enjoyed them now.

Reviewing this list of 1985 releases, my absolute favorite would be Clue.  That movie is hilarious.

That's another on that seemed to have gotten more love over the years.  I like Tim Curry but I'm not crazy about Clue.  Murder By Death is a similarly silly movie mystery that I liked.  It might be an acquired taste, though.  A boozy Truman Capote is the bad guy.
