The Greatest Harrison Ford Roles Of All Time

By Max Allen


I would be lying if I said that Harrison Ford was one of my favorite actors. I mean I really like the guy, but I just don't think he has been in enough movies in recent years to warrant consideration. That is not to say I don't enjoy his movies. I think he has starred in more great films that most actors his age.

The following movies are my personal top five favorite films starring Harrison Ford.

Clear and Present Danger is one movie that definitely is on the list for me. I only wish they would come out with another Jack Ryan film, rather than another Indiana Jones. Patriot Games is also a great movie from the Jack Ryan franchise.

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 rivals the Star Wars franchise in terms of Harrison Ford's success is Indiana Jones. When all is said and done, it will be the Indiana Jones films that Ford will be remembered for above all else. Who else could have played such a cool archaeologist?

I would be remiss to not include What Lies Beneath on my list of Harrison Ford's best films. I like to categorize this movie as a suspenseful, psychological thriller/horror. It keeps you guessing. I don't recommend watching this movie alone.

One other movie that I would definitely include in this article is Air Force One. In this movie, Harrison Ford plays the President of The United States and his plane is high jacked. The President has to take matters into his own hands and great action ensues.

Hopefully there are one or more films from Harrison Ford on this list which you have not yet seen, but will now consider.
