So The Fugitive was on t.v., and it got me to thinking of my favorite Harrison Ford movies. There are some pretty decent options. I've come up with my top 5.
1. Empire Strikes Back (My favorite Star Wars)
2. Raiders of the Lost Ark (lately I've picked Raiders over Last Crusade, but it could easily go either way)
3. The Fugitive
4. Witness (it's on t.v. edited quite a bit, and I recommend it)
5. Working Girl (also on t.v. edited, and I think it's funny 80s movie, and different than your typical Harrison Ford one)
Thoughts?

Fugitive
Patriot Games
Regarding Henry
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Clear and Present Danger
1. The very first Star Wars made (#4)
2. I can't remember the name but it was the movie from which "Happy Days" was based.
3. Raiders of the Lost Ark.
4. The Indiana Jones with Sean Conneryas his father.
5. Fugitive
I have liked all of his movies that i have watched so far (except for Random Hearts). I just love him but if i were to choose 5 then, -
1. Six days seven nights (Was not a hit but i fell in love with him after watching this.. It is so my kind of movie & he looks hot & damn sexy in it!)
2. The Fugitive
3. Frantic
4. Indiana Jones & the last crusade
5. Air Force One
Yet to watch a lot of his other movies!!
Here is my list.
5. What Lies Beneath
4. Indiana Jones - Raiders of the Lost Ark
3. Indiana Jones - Temple of Doom
2. The Fugitive
1. Indiana Jones - The Last Crusade
Is it wrong that I have only watched one Harrison Ford Movie all the way through? That will be my #1, then I will list the ones I have seen part of:
1. What Lies Beneath (Scary! And I lived alone at this point.)
2. Air Force One (I may have seen all of this, but do not recall. . . he's on airplane, right?)
3. Witness (Either the end or the beginning. It was recorded either right before or right after some cartoons.)
4. Star Wars (I don't know which one. I often just saw it in passing at home. I was never interested enough to stay . . . sorry if that offends anyone.)
5. Indiana Jones (I saw part of it in one of my nursing classes. I don't remember what they were trying to teach us.)
Maybe if Harrison was in more romantic comedies I would watch more of his movies.
fugitive
sabrina
what lies beneath
indiana jones and the last crusade
witness
I had to think on this one since he is one of my favorites.
1. Fugitive
2. Indiana Jones and the last Crusade
3. Raiders of the Lost Ark
4. Patriot Games
5. Clear and Present Danger
I forgot Witness...can that be instead of Clear and Present Danger...and I did also love Air Force One...tied with Patriot Games.
It is interesting I never realized that most of his career is as three characters.
FYI Amish is translated as Mormon in a few languages. Might be why people confuse us with them in Europe.
The name of the movie in my #2 is American Griffiti. #4 was Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. It is quite amazing that the only two people in the world have have not seen Star Wars (Andy and Stefany) found each other. It truly was meant to be.
ps... I haven't seen star wars.
3 people then....
Andy claims that Sarah hasn't seen it either.
I will ask Sarah today....
i haven't
nor has my wife... did this turn into a who has seen starwars?
The Fugitive drove me crazy because it was nonsense that the cop would be so caught up in the chase, knowing that Ford's character was a good guy. Hey, buddy, round up some drug dealers instead. However the star power of Ford was in full force during Witness. I remember a shot of the back of his head when he was on the phone. In spite of not seeing any facial expression, he accurately conveyed his emotions. Hmm, says me, that boy is acting.
The Raiders series was fun, but entirely too corny to make a "best of" list. You'd be fooling yourself to say his smart aleck lines in Star Wars were any different. I'd have to go with Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger for my #2 and #3. Air Force One is #4 (get....off....my....plane!) Can't come up with #5. Maybe he'll do another Ryan movie.
