  Outland was a lot of fun; High Noon in outer space B-)

  As he's being escorted out of the courtroom, to the judge: "Bald-headed p***k!"

  Family Business was terrific. {[] An extremely underrated film IMO.
  
  A very ordinary Connery film was Medicine Man. It was an absolute waste of a really good cast and director.

  "He’s a man way out there in the blue, riding on a smile and a shoeshine. And when they start not smiling back—that’s an earthquake. and then you get yourself a couple of spots on your hat, and you’re finished. Nobody dast blame this man. A salesman is got to dream, boy. It comes with the territory." Death of a Salesman

  I would probably go with The Hunt for Red October. I think Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is great as well.

  BTW, Family Business is a nice film.
  
  There's plenty I haven't seen though.

  1 The hill ( I think this is his best film )
  2 Hell drivers
  3 Outland ( Wild West in space)
  4 The man who would be King ( great Freemasons film)
  5 The untouchables (another great )
  This would be my cast on a desert island collection

  By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?

  Glad to see some love for the hill. I watched it because I wanted to see more young Connery and I heard it mentioned in a couple of his old interviews.
