Erika (17789 KP) rated Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) in Movies

A New Hope is the first movie I remember watching that wasn't animated. It was the first video tape my parents ever bought. It's my favorite out of all of the Star Wars films, and a great introduction to the world of Star Wars. It's got everything: Peter Cushing as Grand Moff Tarkin, young, attractive Harrison Ford, and bad ass Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia.

It makes kids laugh
Enough subtle humour for adults
More animated antic, good for kids, not amazing
So The Secret Life of Pets was a decent animated movie, with lead voicing being done by Patton Oswalt, while not really requiring a sequel it got one and its really okay, the plots on animated films can not be difficult given the young audience, so adults may find this kind of obvious what will happened from start to end.
The voice talents of Harrison Ford do add to the film, and being honest, is the reason I gave a 6 instead of a 5. The marketing for the film has been quite heavy in recent weeks and was prominent at MCM Comic-Con over the launch weekend.
It is fair to say the film succeeds in its goal, it makes the little humans laugh, and really that is what you want.

The Cover-Up
Clear and Present Danger- is a thriller pacted movie. It has action, suspense and drama. Its downfall its long and somewhat boring and waits a while to get to the action. The action is also decent, not as good as patriot games.
The plot: Agent Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford) becomes acting deputy director of the CIA when Admiral Greer (James Earl Jones) is diagnosed with cancer. When an American businessman, and friend of the president, is murdered on a yacht, Ryan starts discovering links between the man and drug dealers. As CIA agent John Clark (Willem Dafoe) is sent to Colombia to kill drug kingpins in retaliation, Ryan must fight through multiple cover-ups to figure out what happened and who's responsible.
Harrison Ford is excellent as Jack Ryan. He is the best Jack Ryan in my opinon. He nails Jack Ryan perfectly.

A classic
This is a brilliant example of Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford at their best. Considering this was made back in 1982, the effects and the whole look of the city still look surprisingly futuristic and not shoddy and outdated. The score really adds to the tension and suspense, and the cast are great. This is one of the few examples where the film is actually better than the source material (Philip K Dick' s short story).

Cult thriller from Ridley Scott. In present-day Los Angeles, investigator Harrison Ford finds himself obliged to hunt down and destroy four androids who have illegally returned to Earth from colonies in outer space. Yes, yes: I know it's a timeless classic and a visionary piece of science fiction (if not a particularly accurate piece of prognostication), but it's not a film I've ever found myself able to particularly warm to.
One of the prettiest and most visually dense films you will ever see, of course, but Ridley Scott seems much more interested in the film's visual impact than the actual story (even so, much of the imagery is rather clunky). Harrison Ford doesn't get much to do in his drab and perfunctory section of the plot - the film only really comes to life when it concerns Rutger Hauer's oddly sympathetic homicidal android, who ends up dominating the movie. Most of the book's quirky sense of melancholy disappears, though. For all its strengths it just feels rather superficial and hollow to me.

It wasn't me! it was the one-armed man!!
1993 thriller, based on a 1960 TV series of the same name, in which an on-form Harrison Ford plays the part of Dr Richard Kimble, on the run after being framed for the murder of his wife and sentenced to death, relentlessly pursued by Tommy Lee Jones US Marshal detective Samuel Gerard.
Full of great lines and scenes, with both actors at the top of their game, and riveting throughout.

Most people pick Episode V, Empire Strike back as their favourite Star Wars move.
While it is a close call, for me, the original *just* pips it to the post.
This is the movie that re-defined science fiction, with a young Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher all being launched to superstardom on its back (Ford in particular), and that is - as has oft been said - in many ways a modern fairy-tale, taking its form and structure from such.
It's also the movie that introduces the iconic Darth Vader, X-Wings and TIE fighters, with the final assault on the first Death Star one of the best action scenes in any movie I have ever seen, period.
