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.
The following movies are my personal top five favorite films starring Harrison Ford.
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.
It is impossible to make a list of Harrison Ford movies without giving praise to a Star Wars movie. My favorite Star Wars film is definitely Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. No one could have played Han Solo better than Mr. Ford.
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?
Apocalypse Now just has to make the list as well. It may not have been a leading role for Harrison Ford, but he was in it nonetheless and subsequently was part of one of the greatest war films ever made.
Finally I would like to include Air Force One on this list. This was one of the better action films of the 1990s in my opinion.
Hopefully there are one or more films from Harrison Ford on this list which you have not yet seen, but will now consider.
