Where's the fun in that?
One of the best scenes, imho, was the townie scene in ‘Witness’.
Caught him in a role I never knew about. He was an assistant to “The Director” in The Conversation with Gene Hackman. Decent, but definitely early-70s-weird, movie.
Ford us aging far, far better than Biden.
Oh, the guy that shaved his chest to support the Amazon rainforest? The street racer in American Graffiti. That guy? 😂🙌
I think I like him best as “Falfa” in American Graffiti.
The drugs kinda screwed him up a bit.
Not really a knock on Ford, but I never found him to be a particularly engaging or charismatic actor. Just seemed to be a guy who was in the right place at the right time.
Enjoyed “Force 10 from Navarone”, Clear and Present Danger, and of course “Blade Runner”.
Ford is a likeable guy on screen. Snd he takes beatings well. That can go a long way. He’s a crazy leftie, but so are most actors. Gotta ignore that or give up movies.
Hollywood Homicide is another good one that highlights his comedic side....
The Mosquito Coast is great.

Ford is one of those actors who makes enjoyable movies, despite his limited range as an actor. I’ve enjoyed his movies since American Graffiti.
His age difference from his wife, Calista Flockhart, is 23 years, the same as Donald and Melania. I don’t hear the same kind of sneering, nasty remarks from Hollywood about the Fords as we did about the Trumps.

We worked with him on Young Eagles in the Rocky Mountain region. He’s a real personable type of guy and was generous with his time and flying.

He’s always been my all-around favorite actor.
The thing I find most interesting about his career is that he almost always played the good guy.
The only exception I know of was a movie where he’s a doctor living on a lake and his wife gets murdered - turns out he is the killer. I really didn’t care for it - it just didn’t seem right casting him as the bad guy.
