Does Harrison Ford hold the championship belt for greatest movie star of the last 50 years?

Whether you agree or disagree, the proof is in the pudding.

Fords resume speaks for itself: a filmography consisting of blockbusters, cult classics and pantheon characters.

Narrowing Fords iconic career to seven performances was nearly impossible, but we tried anyway.

See how we ranked Harrison Ford’s best movies.

Presumed Innocent

Ford has made a career out of playing the good guy who saves the day.

So it was a welcome change to see Ford play the immoral and unfaithful lawyer in Presumed Innocent.

During the litigation, Rusty is forced to reveal his dark secret: He had an affair with Carolyn.

Fords stoicism works to his advantage as a morally ambiguous character.

The films lasting takeaway is its unforgettable twist ending.Rent/buy onAmazonorApple

4.

The Fugitive

Ford is clearly attracted to playing complicated men falsely accused of murder.

Richard is arrested for the murder of his wife and sentenced to death.

Richard maintains his innocence throughout the legal proceedings, proclaiming a one-armed man killed his wife.

While being transported to death row, Richard escapes the convoy and goes on the run from the authorities.

The only way for Richard to save himself is to prove someone else killed his wife.

It wont be easy, especially with Deputy Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) following Richards every move.

Star Wars

Han Solo need I say more?

OK, well talk about it.

Look up the definition of cool, and youll find a picture of Han Solo.

Han is the witty smuggler and captain of the Millennium Falcon.

Hes snarky, snobbish, and, quite frankly, a jerk to Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill).

Guys want to be him, and girls want to be with him.

His cockiness comes off as charming more than it does as arrogance.

Han has no superpowers, making him a relatable character in a movie with lightsabers and force sensitivity.

Han is a hero at his core, even if he tries to deny it at every turn.

Forced on the run, Book flees the city and hides with Rachel and Samuel within the Amish community.

Fords strength in Witness is his compassion toward Rachel, Samuel, and the Amish community.

His innate ability to convey emotion without saying a word is on full display.Rent/buy onAmazonorApple

1.

Archeologist Indiana (Indy) Jones traverses the globe searching for priceless artifacts.

Indy doesnt have a superpower unless you count his ingenuity.

Hes a tough, stubborn, and foul-mouthed action hero.
