Is this a serious question?
Ford is one of the greatest action heroes of all time, but Hopkins is a classically trained actor who has twice the acting chops as Ford...and that's no insult to the former.

Hey guys...remember that one scene in that Francis Ford Coppola film?
Man, talk about a great performance!

Is Blade Runner not notable enough?

some on that list. When I think of Ford I think...
1. Raiders of the Lost Ark/Indiana Jones
2. Star Wars Trilogy
3. The Fugitive
4. Blade Runner
5. Patriot Games/Clear and Present Danger
6. Witness
7. Air Force One
8. Mosquito Coast
9. Working Girl
10. Presumed Innocent
Pretty much in that order.
Of his other films, I've rewatched maybe only Sabrina and American Graffiti.
But that's his basic resume.

Hopkins is one of my favorite. Ford is meh.

Hopkins is the better actor, but Ford is Han and Indy!

Or, Witness?

I've always thought Ford is overrated. Doesn't display a lot of range. Great for Indiana Jones/Han Solo, but seems a bit wooden in other roles. His best performance is Regarding Henry.

Hopkins is the better "actor" as we use that term. However, Harrison Ford is one of the better actors who was given a lot of big budget leads over the past 40 years, too. Because of the nature of most of his films, Ford didn't get critical acclaim for roles he probably should have.
But, Sir Anthony is a fantastic actor all the same - I'm not going to penalize him because he selected roles that would highlight that. He's not asking Harrison Ford for any money is he?

Hopkins is a better actor but Ford was in the 2 best blockbuster series ever. He's the greatest movie star ever to me.

I think Ford was awful in Blade Runner.
