2. Harrison Ford first 12 years of making movies were filled with many uncredited parts and small quickly forgotten speaking parts. The highlight during this time frame would be his small roles in 1973’s American Graffiti and 1974’s The Conversation…both were nominated for Oscars® for Best Picture but neither movie really helped his career.
3. By 1976, Ford turned towards his carpentry skills to support his family. He was hired by George Lucas to build some cabinets for the Lucas house. Ford was building the cabinets at the same time Lucas was trying to cast actors for his latest movie.

9. Harrison Ford says his favorite movie that he performed in is….. The Mosquito Coast….and the most frustrating film he acted in was …..Blade Runner. Ford says Deckard was human….Ridley Scott the director says Deckard was a replicant….put me on the side that Deckard was human

Lots of this list makes no sense at all. Harrison made some movies in the late 1960s…but nothing before that. Looks like Oracle has some bugs in it. Speaking of Harrison Ford…I watched a You Tube video where he breaks down his career….he looked so bored….it was almost not fun to watch. Good stuff.
The Wikipedia pages don’t distinguish between 2 people with the same name. Those people I listed worked with a different Harrison Ford who was active in the silent era. The IMDB puts numbers behind people to separate different parties of the same name, even if there are 30 people with the same name. For Robert Taylor I chose all people whose careers started after he passed. Glitches they have not fixed.
HI WH
I appreciate your difficulties and can just hope that you can soon get round to rectifying the errors in your 2004 Annual review which are eschewing my own databases which always more or less follow your stats!
It would also be nice if JK Simmonscould at last tablest be given his rightful due on the Cogerson main site index – see my July 20 post on the 2001 review page.
Thanks for fixing ‘Senta Berger’ . My system stores a lot of my flag-ups to Mr Posters so I must have brought back one of them by mistake.
Hey Bob…..I’ll Sleep When I Am Dead should be fixed in a few more minutes. It was made in 2003….but released in 2004……after the website talks to the database it should fix the problem. My power outage has caused some chaos with the connection between my database and the internet….hopefully it is back on track. WoC…..added in all the release dates for the movies…and that caused some movies to show up in two yearly reviews.
*Added bonus with the latest update….Once Upon A Time In Hollywood will be added to the 2019 Yearly Page, Al Pacino Page, Kurt Russell Page, Margot Robbie Page, Leonardo DiCaprio Page and Brad Pitt Page….when the update is completed. Good stuff.
HI BRUCE
Thanks for the explanations and the attention to this matter.
Just added Steve’s Ford You Tube video to this page. My comment found on his page.
“The great Harrison Ford is your comeback video. I have seen all of these movies…as he is one of my all-time favorites. His Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the main reasons I became such a movie fan. So…let’s talk my Top 5 Ford movies. My favorite is Raiders…which you have at number 3. Second would be Star Wars which you have at number 2. Witness is number three for me…and 12th in your rankings. Blade Runner comes in 4th in my mind…and 5th in your rankings. And rounding out my Top 5…is Indy 3…which is ranked 13th by your video. His favorite movie performance is in The Mosquito Coast….which you have ranked 23rd. Good video. Voted up and shared.”
Hi Bruce, I was surprised I took this long to do a Harrison Ford video.
Our rankings are not too dissimilar. Okay, Apocalypse Now didn’t make your top 5 and The Conversation did, both directed by Coppola. And The Mosquito Coast is even lower on your chart. My favorite Harrison Ford film is the very first Star Wars film (1977), followed by Empire and Raiders.
Of the 42 films on the video – your tally – all of them (not surprised), mine 31, Flora 10. Thanks for the vote, share and comment, always appreciated.
I don’t know how Senta Berger’s name got mixed up in my previous post about Harrison Ford. Apologies if I pressed a wrong button somewhere.
Hey Bob…I fixed it for you. I was all sit to catch up on comments last night…..when a storm blew threw my area and knocked the power out. Today got some things I have to do….so I will have to catch up later today….but wanted to quickly defend Ford’s highest rated movies on UMR…he has so many movies that got great reviews….that even though A.N. did not crack my Top 5…it is one of the highest rated movies in our entire database. Ford is just so awesome…great movies have to compete against each other. Still…88% is pretty stellar for an UMR review percentage. Good stuf as always.
