IMO Sean Connery has had some great roles outside Bond. My personal favourites (in o particular order of preference) are:
The Man Who Would Be King
Hell Drivers
The Molly Maguires
The First Great Train Robbery
The Longest Day
Shalako
The Anderson Tapes
A Bridge Too Far
The Untouchables
I only recently learned that he also had a bit part in 'A Night To Remember' playing a passenger on the Titanic.

I think Connery was very good in Indiana Jones and the lasht crusade.
The Hill-1965
Zardoz-1979
The Name Of The Rose-1986 (My personal favourite)
First Knight-1995
The Rock-1996
IMO Connery's best non-Bond performances are in:
THE HILL (1965)
THE OFFENCE (1972)
THE MAN WHO WOILD BE KING (1975)
ROBIN & MARION (1976)
THE NAME OF THE ROSE (1985)
THE UNTOUCHABLES (1987)
INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE (1989)
THE ROCK (1994)
Many other good performances elsewhere too and too many to list really. He is always watchable.
Sean - Woman of Straw
George - Man from Hong Kong
Roger - Wild Geese
Timothy - Hot Fuzz

Daniel - Our Friends in the North (TV)
Unforgivable I know, and while I meant to include it I missed 'The Hill' off my list!
