Film making

How many major action stars are there over the age of sixty? I don’t know the correct answer to that, but there cannot be too many. One of those actors, however is without a shadow of a doubt, Harrison Ford. I would not consider Harrison Ford to be a “true” action star, in the vein of Sylvester Stallone or Steven Segal, but he has had his chair of adrenaline pumping movies. That is not to say he is limited to these roles, however.

This article will focus on some of the best Harrison Ford films of all time.

The first film that I will mention is Blade Runner. This is as good as true science fiction films get. This movie was originally released in 1982 and is considered by many to be one of the better sci-fi movies of all time.

Of course, there has to be a movie from the Star Wars saga on this list, so I will just get it out of the way now. While I loved the Empire Strikes Back, it ended on such a cliffhanger (I can’t handle cliffhangers in movies) that I have to give the nod to Return Of The Jedi.

Another franchise that it is nearly impossible to leave out on this list is Indiana Jones. Indiana Jones truly set the precedent for many of the action and adventure movies that are released today. Raiders Of The Lost Ark is my personal favorite.

Another Harrison Ford movie, which I absolutely loved, is What Lies Beneath. This is a really creepy film, and Michelle Pfeiffer is sensational as Ford’s wife. This is not a good movie to watch when you are by yourself.

One other movie that I would definitely include on this list is The Fugitive. This movie is just so good, I don’t know what else to say. I may be wrong, but I believe Tommy Lee Jones won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for this film.

As it stands, this is my Harrison Ford best-of list. Let’s see what happens when Indiana Jones 5 comes out.
