Directed by Eric W. Schwartz
Based on a 1954 movie written and directed by Billy Wilder, Sabrina takes the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach to remakes. It follows the title character after she manages to make her longtime crush, David, fall for her, only for complications to arise due to him already being engaged. Harrison Ford is featured in the role that Humphrey Bogart played in the original; that of David's older brother, Linus, who also harbors feelings for Sabrina, despite being much older than her. It's...

A movie that combines fantasy with romance, The Age of Adalinerevolves around the title character, a woman who mysteriously stops growing older while in her late 20s. Ford plays a man who was once in love with Adaline but obviously kept aging, as normal people tend to do, with the film ultimately exploring how this causes Adaline angst in her romantic/general life. Few people would call it one of Ford's very best movies, but it gave him a great deal to do as an actor, and he rose to the occas...
Directed by Phillip Noyce
One of two Jack Ryan movies starring Harrison Ford in the lead role and having Australian filmmaker Phillip Noyce as director, Patriot Gamescan sort of blend into the crowd of 1990s Harrison Ford action/thriller movies. Buckle in, because there are plenty more mentioned below, and their titles can be easy to mix up. The plot here centers on Ryan and his family being in danger after the CIA agent interferes with an IRA assassination, leading to plenty of expected action and suspense. It might...

Contrary to popular belief, Westerns can be funny sometimes, and while The Frisco Kidisn't the most well-known Western/comedy film, it is notable for starring a young Harrison Ford. It's something of a buddy comedy, following Ford's bank-robbing character going on a series of misadventures with a rabbi, after the two cross paths out in the Old West. Gene Wilder plays the rabbi here, and of course, also featured in perhaps the most famous Western/comedy crossover movie of all time, Blazing Sad...
Directed by Alan J. Pakula
Presumed Innocentis another 1990s Harrison Ford thriller, though this one's more of a mystery/thriller/drama rather than an action-heavy thriller. Ford plays a prosecutor who gets accused of a crime he didn't commit, and so has to fight for his innocence in a case that gets more and more complicated with every new development. It was directed by Alan J. Pakula, who was best known for making a series of successful, paranoia-heavy thrillers in the 1970s, including All the President's Men, Klute...

To poorly paraphrase Smash Mouth, the 90s Harrison Ford thrillers start coming and they don't stop coming. Clear and Present Danger is the second Jack Ryanfilm that starred Ford and was directed by Phillip Noyce, and sees the CIA agent getting wrapped up in a conflict between the U.S. government and a Colombian drug cartel. Of all the movies based on novels by Tom Clancy,it's one of the most well-known and widely liked. It's a little better than Patriot Games overall, having a slightly snappi...
Directed by Wolfgang Petersen
After earlier 1990s thrillers that saw Harrison Ford playing agents who serve the U.S. president, Air Force Onegave him the chance to play the role of (a fictional) president himself. It takes place largely on the titular plane, revolving around how President James Marshall handles the presidential aircraft getting hijacked. It can be seen as silly or perhaps even a little derivative of Die Hard, given that movie helped popularize the idea of action/thriller movies taking place in confined lo...
Directed by Mike Nichols
A romantic comedy directed by Mike Nichols, Working Girl stars Harrison Ford alongside Melanie Griffith and Sigourney Weaver. Though she was billed below Ford and Weaver, Griffith is the protagonist here, playing a young woman who decides to screw her boss over after her boss screws her over, which sees her taking over her boss's life while she's recovering in hospital following a skiing accident. Its tendency to be syrupy and quite aggressive as a romantic comedy means that the satirical edg...
Directed by Roman Polanski
Frantic's an efficiently made and overall tense psychological thrillerthat will unnerve any viewer who tends to have fears surrounding travel in unfamiliar locales. Ford plays a doctor who goes to Paris with his wife, only for things to quickly turn nightmarish when she suddenly disappears, leading to a desperate search for any clues as to her whereabouts. As might be expected, complications arise, and it becomes apparent that there's a wide-reaching conspiracy surrounding the disappearance....

It was one of the first starring roles for the late Chadwick Boseman, who played Robinson, with Harrison Ford playing Branch Rickey, a sports executive who signed Robinson, breaking a previously held color barrier. The film covers the challenges Jackie Robinson faced resulting from his unique position at the time, ensuring 42's a spo...
