......or to make it a little bit easier, if you wanted to, you could watch the flick 3 minutes from now?

Me, all the 007 ones, Entrapment, Highlanders, The Terrorists, Outland, Shalako, The Red Tent (probably my most fav of his outside of Bond), Darby O'Gill and the Little People, Robin & Marian, The Name of the Rose, The Hunt for Red October, First Knight, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Time Bandits, A Bridge too Far, The Great Train Robbery, Wrong is Right, Dragonheart, Playing by Heart, Zardoz, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and The Man Who Would be King. I may have Tarzan's Greatest Adventure.

I think I have, down in VHS, The Longest Day, The Avengers, The Presidio, Medicine Man,

I might have The Anderson Tapes, Murder on the Orient Express, The Wind and the Lion, Family Business, and Rising Sun.

If I have Marne, it is somewhere in a Hitchcock collection.

Then there's the question of......what was the last time you watched him? Admittedly, it has been a while but it probably would have been Time Bandits running in a tie to Diamonds are Forever......or it might have been First Knight on some movie theme night a "short" while back.

So what's your favorite scene of his? Well, off the top of my head, it would be the tailor scene in one of the Highlanders.

Last time you referenced him before his passing? For me, it would have been Friday night when in "The Day of the Animals" Lynda Day George says she can't swim and his voice from Thunderball, as he pushed the special weapons weaponeer off the doomed hydrofoil of, "It's never too late to learn!" rang in my ears.

(right at 4:20)

Picture wise, it was Wednesday or so with a shot from Outland.

So-o, how much of an influence, by what you saw of his work, was he in your life?

You've never seen THE MOLLY MAGUIRES? Definitely one of Connery's best movies.

I don't have any. My entire DVD collection is less than 20 titles. But I'm sure I could find a number of films on the streaming services I'm subscribed to that I could watch three minutes from now.

EXACTLY why I stuck that condition in there for I know most people don't have video libraries in their homes..........

............so, three minutes from now, what's your inkling for a Sean Connery flick that you can get your hands on?

For some reason, it must not have been available to be bought (but it was today)......for I see that Frank Finlay was in and I bought up many of his movies just a few short months ago.

I could watch Meteor on YouTube right now if I wanted to. Here's the full movie. It's one of my favorite Sean Connery movies. I last watched it a few weeks ago.

Meteor (1979)

If you mean literally get my hands on, nothing. And I'm okay with that. Not sure why it matters. I can be watching Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade before you're able to locate it in your collection and get it out of the case and loaded into the machine.

I think I actually do own Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, but I couldn't tell you when the last time I watched a movie on DVD was. Like you, my DVD collection could fit in a shoebox.

Well, this is really not a conversation about DVDs......as much as it is about which Sean Connery flicks you can quickly watch.

It's a great movie. It flopped at the box office, which I don't understand at all. Connery and Richard Harris are both great in it. It's beautifully filmed. Great music. Very moving story. Still one of my favorite Connery movies.
