The only movie in the OP worth a damn is the fugitive

Some of you frickers sure are hard to please.

OP used the term "murderers row" to describe those 4 movies.
The fugitive was absolutely awesome but the others are mostly forgettable.

Air Force One is hardly a forgettable movie. It got decent reviews from critics and was the fifth highest grossing movie of 1997.

throw in American Graffiti,
I'd never seen this. Tried watching it last week and couldn't get into it. Bored me. Turned it off after 25 mins. Is it still worth watching, or is it a movie that doesn't hold up 40 years later?

TBH I always get Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger confused. Actually I saw both for the first time last year and I don't remember much from either. So to me they are kinda forgettable I guess.
Sum of All Fears was the best Jack Ryan movie IMO.

American Grafitti is a classic and should be watched all the way through. It's about trying to find yourself and ending one phase of life and venturing into the unknown. I always viewed it as a 60s Dazed and Confused except more serious.
Try to give it another shot, the cast alone is stellar and the final act is very very good. Yes, it's a bit plodding but I think it still holds up.

I never could get past their betrayal of the book it was based on.

Patriot Games is great and Clear and Present Danger is solid. Air Force One is fun but objectively not a very "good" movie in terms of writing and plot.

#1, actually.

ETA: Eddie Murphy is one spot higher than Tom Cruise. I would not have expected that.

I think Regarding Henry was probably his best acting performance. That movie always gave me the feels.

And I'm pretty sure he was the top draw in the 1980s - but don't quote me.
Forgotten in all his chameleon, fat suit, animal talking, talking animal roles after that, that Murphy was, at one time, the hottest young actor in Hollywood - for almost a decade.

I don't see how someone can hate Air Force One. That is a very fun movie.

My guess is that being part of Shrek is what places Murphy ahead of cruise on the all time gross list. I think Cruise was easily the hotter commodity in the 80s.

Shrek was almost half a billion gross, so there is that concern.
"Box office draw" probably hurts Ford more than either Murphy or Cruise - Ford was support in both Empire (1980) and Jedi (1983) - which are massive box office performers, but with Mark Hamill in the lead. "Draw" is based on contemporary surveys of theater owners, so while subjective, it is difficult to argue with the methodology:
Neither Cruise nor Murphy show up until 1983 (1980 - 1982 had the residual, 1970s hangover with Burt Reynolds grabbing the top spot) - then, from 1983 through 1989, Murphy shows up every year, Cruise does not rise to the top until the back half of the decade
Murphy

1984 - #4

He's been in 4 shrek films which have grossed close to $4 billion.
Tom cruise has done mission impossible but that franchise hasn't grossed as much as Shrek
