There is hardly a bad film if he is in the cast, so it was always going to be tough to make a top 10 list. I have sadly had to not count his role in Apocalypse Now. You only see him in one scene and that was not enough for me to be seen as one of his films. I am also not counting his small role in 'Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues'. He is one of many cameos and is not playing a big enough role to consider it being an integral role to the film.
I do have to give one honorable mention that sadly misses out on my top 10, and that's Witness. One of Ford's most dramatic roles, and the one that got him his only Oscar nomination. Ford plays a policeman forced to live in Amish county to protect a child that witnessed a crime.
With that in mind, out of his 54 films, I have seen only 33 of them. I will rank all the films that I have seen, and give a short review for each of my top 10:
33) Paranoia
32) The Expendables 3
31) Cowboys & Aliens
30) Hollywood Homicide
29) Random Hearts
28) The Call Of The Wild
27) Force 10 From Navarone
26) Air Force One
25) Working Girl
24) Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny
23) Ender's Game
22) Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull
21) Patriot Games
20) Clear And Present Danger
19) Six Days Seven Nights
18) Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues
17) Regarding Henry
16) K-19: The Widowmaker
23) Ender's Game
22) Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull
21) Patriot Games
20) Clear And Present Danger
19) Six Days Seven Nights
18) Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues
17) Regarding Henry
16) K-19: The Widowmaker
15) Morning Glory
14) What Lies Beneath
13) Star Wars: The Force Awakens
12) The Fugitive
11) Witness
10) American Graffiti - Only recently saw this beautifully shot 1970's cult favorite. A story of a bunch high school grads on their final night before leaving for college.
It contains a lot of cruising in big cars and a few drag races where Ford's arrogant character challenges the best drag racer in the town.
9) The Conversation - A surprisingly thrilling mystery from the 1970's where a surveillance expert tracks a couple that he believes are going to be murdered.
Lead by Gene Hackman, Ford has to be a minor character in this one. But nevertheless, it is gripping extravaganza.
8) Star Wars: Episode VI - The Return Of The Jedi - The final chapter of the first Star Wars trilogy where the Rebel Alliance and the Empire gear up for their final battle, as well as Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.
7) Blade Runner 2049 - A sequel that many including me was unsure would work. But getting the right director helped a lot in seeing this futuristic world back on the big screen in the most epic way.
Ford's character of Deckard may be taking a back seat in this one. But his contribution in the final act gives this film a strong send-off.
6) Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade - The final installment of the greatest adventure franchise of all-time, where Ford returns as Indiana Jones.
His latest adventure consists of the Holy Grail, the Nazis and his Dad.
5) Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom - My personal favorite of the Indiana Jones trilogy.
Where Dr. Jones ends up in India where a mysterious palace, thought to have been abandoned, is slowly coming back into power.
4) Raiders Of The Lost Ark - The greatest adventure film and the birth of the most famous archaeologist ever.
Directed by Steven Spielberg, this epic search for the Lost Ark brought back the swashbuckling style of action film-making.
3) Blade Runner - An absolutely ground-breaking sci-fi thriller. Directed by Ridley Scott, this visionary experience will amaze me you for years.
Ford plays a detective where his final assignment is to find a group of 'replicants' roaming around Earth trying to find their maker.
Set in a gloomy looking future, it contains some of the greatest cinematography and music in film history. Definitely heaven for the eyes.
2) Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back - George Lucas's second installment of the greatest sci-fi saga has all of your favorite characters back including Ford's Hans Solo.
After exploding the Empire's most dangerous weapon, the Rebel Alliance continue to be on the run from their arch nemesis. Where we meet new characters that are not what they seem to be.
1) Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope - My favorite film from my childhood, and I'm sure many others as well.
This sci-fi swashbuckling adventure changed the face of how space films should be done. Despite not being in the lead role, Ford's character of Hans Solo will have you intrigued throughout.
14) What Lies Beneath
13) Star Wars: The Force Awakens
12) The Fugitive
