    I can easily believe the last one...I mean how many flicks has this guy
    been in?  Star Wars Tril.  Indy Tril that's six right there!  And I
    haven't even been in one yet!
    
    Simply put....HE RULES!!!

    Tom Clancy Trilogy ???
       Hunt for Red October  ***
       Patriot Games
       Clear And Present Danger.
    
    *** Not sure if he was in this one
    
    

RE .2 - Harrison Ford wasn't in "The Hunt for Red October."  It was
Alec Baldwin.

    
    	And Sean Connery.
    

    ...and many more. But Alec played the Jack Ryan character in "Hunt...".
    He's not a very beleivable Jack Ryan -- I think it's bacause he doesn't 
    come across as "American" as HF - and Ford is much better for such
    roles.
    
    Steve
    

    And wasn't he in "Working Girl"?  Kinda of an odd role for him,
    donchathink?
    
    Steve
    

    
    	"Working Girl" was a great movie, I thought.
    

                               Harrison Ford

    Just to name a couple more.  I love this guy!  I've enjoyed all of his
    movies.  I could watch him over and over again!
    
    He just seems like such a down to earth guy.  Whew!  Can't say enough
    about him!
    
    Always looking forward to his new movies!
    

    
    Actually, I thought Alec Baldwin played a more believable Jack Ryan in
    "Red October", for those who've read the books he seems to play the
    character a lot closer to Clancy's original.
    
    
    I.

    
    I thought Ford's Jack Ryan seemed to be a bit 'nervous' as compared to
    Baldwin's, at least in Clear and Present Danger he was.
    I think Baldwin should've done all three movies.
    Dave
     

    With all the flops Alec has done in the past since the "Hunt For Red
    October" I bet he wished he's done the Clancy's movies.  He desperately
    needs a winner because Heavens Prisoners is not doing good at the Box
    Office as you all well know. 
    
    Excuse me, I realize now that this is the Harrison Notes file.
    
    h.d.

    
    	RE: .11
    
    	Jack Ryan SHOULD have been nervous in "Clear and Present Danger".
    	Wouldn't YOU be nervous if you knew that all those people were
    	out to get you?
    
    	8^)
    

    
    The character in the book is the "reluctant hero" type but is cool
    under fire.  Baldwin did a better job of portraying that.
    
    
    I.

Force 10 from Navaron was my fav' Harrison movie.  I think it's because I
fell in love with him in that movie.  I love the ending when they end up
on the wrong side of the bridge :-) 

42nd Hanover St is my second fav' Harrison movie, I thought it was a super
love story with a super twist!  

I remember seeing those moveis and telling all my friends about this guy
Harrison Ford who is very very HOT, and I remember them looking at me and
saying "who"  

Then Star Wars came out - the rest is history!

Lou 

    
    
    Its just Hanover Street...where did you get the 42nd from?
    
    Chris
    :)

The real name/orginal is 42nd Hanover St.  It's where they used to meet
everyday.

Lou

    Harrison Ford, IMO, is one of the best actors around.  I can't say I
    have seen a movie with him in it that he wasn't good.  I have to say
    that out of all the different roles he played I liked Han Solo the
    best, but that could be because I am a Huge Star Wars fan.
                                                              
    P

    
    
    That's interesting about the 42nd Hanover Street as opposed to
    just Hanover Street. I've never seen it with that name. 
    
    Chris
    :)

    
    Can't wait for "Devils Own"('96) and "Air Force One"('97).
    
     I hear that Ford's costar in Devils Own (Brad Pitt) is upset that many 
    script changes have been made during the principle photography stage of
    the film. Many changes requested by Ford himself. Pitt has been rumored
    to have walked off the set a few times. 
     My gosh, Pitt is getting paid $8M for this film and he is acting like
    a big baby. I know it's not $20M(Ford's salary) but it's enough for him
    to start acting like a professional. If not, he'll never make it to
    Ford's level. 
    
     The film should be completed by August.  It will be a winter release.
    
    
    
                     
         
    
    
    

    Can anybody recall an incident that resulted in Harrison Ford 
    walking off the set? I can't.
    
      John

    
    
    I heard that he had a bad chili for lunch one day! :)))

    Some of those script changes were requested by Ford, too, FWIW.  
    
    
    
    
    kim

    Surely it all depends on what the script changes are?  If they alter
    the 'feel' or 'flow' of the film, or whatever, and its something Brad
    Pitt feels strongly about, then he is right to throw a grumpy?

    Well it is time to go back to school for me. It was fun while it lasted.
    Thanks for putting up with me and my Caps-on. 

    I heard that Larry King has a small part in "Air Force One" (1997).

    Harrison Ford recently hosted a benefit in honor of the
    Dali-Lama(correct spelling?), along with his wife screenwriter Mellisa
    Mathison and Richard Gere. 

    Is it just me or is Ford way over due for some type of recognition from
    his peers?
     
                                 Bye, Sean

    
    
    
    see ya Sean
    
    Chris_taking_his_cap_off
    :))))

    Ford comes across as a pretty "regular" guy when he's in any type of
    interview. I think it was a Babara Walters' interview where he was
    describing living on his ranch in Wyoming/Idaho/? and having people
    pull into the driveway to see if it's really him.
    
    my favorites:
    	Indiana Jones III with Sean Connery
    	Working Girl
    	Regarding Henry
    	
    Also liked him better as Jack Ryan than Alec Baldwin, even if I didn't
    like what they did to the clancy stories.
    
    He has a great "little boy trying to get his way" look that would
    certainly work on me!
