In honor of the rewind's movie focus: Harrison Ford, what are your favorite Ford movies? In the 80s, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was one of the 1st vhs tapes I had owned, and is my fave out of the Indie Jones movies.
I still have to see Blade Runner all the way through. I fell asleep on it the first time I sat down to watch it.
Moving on to the 90's... Presumed Innocent was great IMO. I can watch that movie, everytime it's on. And of course, one of the best roles I think he's ever done, Dr. Kimble in The Fugitive. Him and Tommy Lee (Jones, that is) were fantastic in this one!
I catch Hollywood Homicide often on the Starz channel, it's pretty funny, and passes the time.
Someone mentioned here that Random Hearts was a monster let-down, and I couldn't agree more. Hated it.

I thought he was great in What lies Beneath, it was great to see him as a villain.

i like the guy loads, but i named the stuff that stick out for ME. yes he was great in star wars, & american graffiti, i never saw apocalypse now. i don't want to name everything he has done, to give others a chance to come up with his other characters that they might enjoy.

Last weekend, one of my local TV stations were showing "Witness" (1985). And I kept watching it. I saw it once before as a rented VHS in the late 80's.
It's a great movie!

My favorite 2 Ford movies are Raiders Of The Lost Ark and The Empire Strikes Back. (These also happen to be my favorite movies of all time, period!) I also liked him a lot in Blade Runner, The Tom Clancy movies he did and Air Force One. Has anyone else seen Force 10 From Naverone? That was a pretty cool one with him too. He's one of my favorite actors.

I would go with Blade Runner and Star Wars.
I've never really rated him as a great actor, he's just good at what he does.

I have seen Regarding Henry. Nothing fantastic but worth watching for sure. It's one of those 'value consistent' type movies. It's worth at least a watch I think, but don't expect anything to over exciting.
Witness is great

If anyone's heard, he's in apparently serious negotiations to come back as Solo for the announced Episodes VII-IX, or at least VII. DO you think he'd still work in the role at this point and age?
