What's your fav Harrison Ford movie...

Most definitely Regarding Henry.

Runners up include The Fugitive, Mosquito Coast, Witness, and Air Force One.

I also liked Firewall and What Lies Beneath.

I would probably go with Witness. Awesome movie.

Although votes also go to Regarding Henry, Presumed Innocent(bad hair in that one though :P), Air Force One...damn! he has been a shitload of movies.
 
Another vote for The Fugitive, it would be my favorite of his even if the Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies were includable.
 
Mostly me just griping that the film wasn't named in the OP, but yes, you are correct here, as you seem to be in all things. :p
Truer words were never spoken.:cool:

And to be fair; once you subtract the obvious big names, and even classics-with-bit parts... Witness is only one of two or three that I remember all that well, which is part of the reason I chose it.
 
Honestly, I loved Air Force One and The Fugitive..he was wonderful in both of those movies. :)
 
I also liked Firewall ...

Firewall was an alright movie. It was just too by the numbers. After Hollywood Homicide it seemed apparent that Ford &/or his agents wanted to put him back into a familiar role. The problem I think was in the execution. I never once was worried for he or his family, like I was say in Fugitive or Air Force One. Maybe some blame lies in the script but I think its more in the direction and execution of those scenes.
 
There are many that I like, but my top five are as follows:

#5 - Witness - "You're making a mistake."

#4 - The Fugitive - "I didn't kill my wife!"

#3 - Star Wars - "Marching down into the detention level isn't what I had in mind!"

#2 (tie) - Empire Strikes Back - "Hurry up, Goldenrod! You're gonna be a permanent resident!"
#2 (tie) - Blade Runner - "No choice, huh?"

#1 - Raiders of the Lost Ark - "I dunno, I'm making this up as I go along."

Of course, there are numerous honorable mentions...
-AirForce One ' "Get off my plane!"
-Clear and Present Danger - "How dare YOU, sir!"
-Mosquito Coast - "We eat when we aren't hungry, drink when we aren't thirsty."

And, of course, the Star Wars Holiday Special - "Would you look at lumpy! He's sure grown, huh?"
 
Well, if you throw out Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Blade Runner, than Witness is probably my favorite....with The Fugitive a strong second. Working Girl, while decidedly a chic flick, would be third.
