    Default 10 Best Harrison Ford Movies, According To Rotten Tomatoes

    CBR ranks Harrison Ford's best films based on Rotten Tomatoes - which is based on critical reviews. Not sure how ties are broken - maybe by the number of reviews.

    https://www.cbr.com/best-harrison-fo...nner-1982---89

    10. Blade Runner (1982) - 89%
    09. Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) - 93%
    08. Witness (1985) - 93%
    07. Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) - 93%
    06. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) - 93%
    05. Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) - 94%
    04. American Graffiti (1973) - 96%
    03. The Fugitive (1993) - 96%
    02. The Conversation (1974) - 97%
    01. Apocalypse Now (1979) - 98%

    Of course what jumps out is that Ford is not so big a part of some of these, like Apocalypse Now and The Conversation. I'd find some way to account for that perhaps, his smaller earlier roles.

    Also, I think I disagree with a number of rankings. I'd put Raiders higher, for example.

    I was expecting that one to be on the list as well but RT has it at 79% rating.

    Agree. I'd have Raiders at #1 IMO.

    My top ten Ford Roles.

    1: Indiana Jones (Just lumping them together).
    2: Jack Ryan (I love Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger).
    3: Star Wars.
    4: Fugitive.
    5: Blade Runner.
    6: Regarding Henry (Underrated Movie IMO).
    7: Air Force One.
    8: Witness.
    9: Working Girl (He was fun in it).
    10: What Lies Beneath (Not a masterpiece but a good movie and I liked seeing him play the villain).

    Apocalypse Now and American Graffiti (I love both of these films but he's more of a cameo than really in them).

    Agreed. Calling American Graffiti a HF movie is also a pretty long reach.

    I never did like BLADE RUNNER (1982). I saw it in theatres when it came out. Check out BLACK RAIN (1989) also from Ridley Scott with a similar aesthetic (also a B.R. title, hm)--I liked that one more. When the new BLADE RUNNER movie was going to come out, I watched a different cut of the original (maybe it was the theatrical cut I didn't like) and still didn't like it. And decided not to bother with the new one.

    A few that come to mind:

    THE MOSQUITO COAST (1986)
    REGARDING HENRY (1991)
    SABRINA (1995)--not as good as the Humphrey Bogart movie but still pretty good.
    THE AGE OF ADALINE (2015)

    I wouldn't even consider Star Wars has a Harrison Ford "vehicle" and The Fugitive will always be number one for me regardless of rotten tomatoes score

    He really owned Hollywood for about 15 years.

    My favorites are:
    Raiders
    Blade Runner
    Empire
    Star Wars
    The Fugitive
    Regarding Henry
    Witness
    Jedi (yes, I know, but in 1983 it was everything I wanted in a movie...)

    Graffiti and Conversation would be up here, but he wasn't a focal point in the former and I didn't recall him being in the latter.
