How is Harrison Ford getting overlooked?


I like him, but Harrison Ford has played Harrison Ford in pretty much every role he's ever been in. Though this is favorite actor, so I guess not necessarily best actor.

You mean Once Upon a Time in Hollywood?

I really wanted to like that movie. I just didn't, and still don't really know why. I just don't. Found it boring.


Yea. Normally mess up and say OUATIT West since that's one of my favorite westerns. Not sure why i said America.

Yea I mean I can see it not being for everybody. I was surprised at the amount of hate it got on here when it came out because I loved it. But I love me some Tarantino in general though.

I don't have a favorite but there are some that if starring in a movie peaks my interest:

Morgan Freeman
Woody Harrelson
Sam Rockwell
Ron Livingston

Just off the top of my head. There are others for sure.

I think he's also punished for the recent quality of his projects

His great work was in the 70s through 90s

Probably Denzel. Why? Training Day, Man on Fire, The Equalizer, Deja Vu, Devil in a Blue Dress, Out of Time, Inside Man, Book of Eli, Safe House, 2 Guns. You get the idea. He makes consistently good and often great films.

I could also make a case for Jack Nicholson.

Year of the Dragon
9 1/2 Weeks
Angel Heart
Barfly
Johnny Handsome
Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man

I’ve enjoyed a lot his roles and he just seems like a likable, down to earth guy.

Jimmy Stewart

There wasn't a role he couldn't play. His ability to express a wide range of emotions with such conviction was a rare gift.

Some of my favorites from this legend:

Mr. Smith Goes To Washington
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
It's a Wonderful Life
Harvey
Winchester '73
Vertigo

Also one of my all time favorites. Have you seen Cheyanne Social Club. Not saying it’s his best movie cause it’s not but it is a very underrated movie that not many people have seen apparently, he co stars with Henry Fonda.
I also love Stewart’s story of his personal life and his experiences during the war as a pilot.
