The Best Harrison Ford Roles Of His Career

by Daniel Richards

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 discuss what I consider to be the best Harrison Ford films from his illustrious career.

One movie that definitely makes the Harrison Ford best-of list for me is Patriot Games. This movie was written by the great Tom Clancy and features his character Jack Ryan getting threatened from the IRA. Sean Bean also stars in this film.

One movie, or two movies that cannot be left off this list are the Star Wars movies. Part of the reason that Return of The Jedi and The Empire Strikes Back are so enjoyable is no doubt in part due to Han Solo, played by none other than Harrison Ford.

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.

These are just some of the best Harrison Ford movies. With so many great films under his resume, it is hard to narrow it down like this.
