Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Sean Connery, the first actor to portray James Bond and whose acting legacy spanned five decades, passed away on Oct. 31 at 90.

While Connery will be most associated with 007, his acting credits top 90, and he remained a viable star and leading man into his 70s. With that in mind, here are my recommendations for Connery’s best work outside of Bond.
