Harrison Ford was in his early twenties in the first movie I’ve ever seen of his, a Roger Corman joint starring Glenn Ford, but even then he was starting to become America’s favorite grumpy grampa. With several iconic roles to his credit, he’s warred in the stars in ‘Star Wars’, he’s fought evil while digging up artifacts as ‘Indiana Jones’, and… I dunno, regarding Henry in ‘Regarding Henry’? Still, the question of which Ford is Top Ford seems like it has a lot of real candidates, even beyond the obvious couple, leading to today’s Raiders of the Temple of The Lost Crusading Skull query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) expects this to be a Han Vs. Indy fight, but for me it’s between Bob Falfa and Colonel Lucas, asking: Which of Harrison’s roles is your Top Ford?

Han Solo I will always be his most iconic character for me, but for variety’s sake, I have to say one of my favorite of his roles was as the president in Air Force One.
As much as I love Han, Indiana Jones is one of my favorite characters of all time.
He was great in Air Force One, though, for sure.
I think “GET OFF MY PLANE” can go down in the book of the classic action movie one-liners.
Those are all great roles, but I really enjoyed his run as Jack Ryan.
Indiana Jones. Han is the best character in Star Wars but in Indy’s role Ford really gets to shine.
Most of Ford’s roles have been great, but to pick something different: Dr. Richard Kimble from The Fugitive.
Deckard in Blade Runner edging out Han Solo
Indiana Jones is my #1, but to through another one on the list, my close 2nd is his role as Norman Spencer in What Lies Beneath.
