Connery fan here too, but I canhappily get by without watching The Hill again. Movies which avoid a musical score lose so much and gain so little.

What theme music do you suggest for a fairly grim film about a British military prison staffed by alcoholic sadists, FK?  :D
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

I've not seen it for years, but I remember The Hill to be a terrific little film, right up until the last scene, which is terribly staged. Really, really theatrical. Let the flim down badly I thought.

Also another vote for The Beast - about a T-55 trundling around Afghanistan. Another terrific little film.

Cheers, Martyn
