Livin' in a Ford Nation

I think Harrison Ford should star in a new Indiana Jones movie every year, cause it's been non-stop Ford around the stations lately. Jack Ryan--everywhere. Force 10 from Navarone--all the time. Witness--watching it again for the third time in three weeks. I love Witness!!! It's one of his greatest non-series films.

You know what else is GREAT? The Mosquito Coast! What??? You haven't seen it!?! It's probably Ford's most underrated performance. It co-stars River Phoenix (later young Indy in Last Crusade) and a pre-Oscar Helen Mirren. Ford plays Allie Fox, a crazed inventor who uproots his family and moves to the jungles of Central America. His decision to move is welcomed at first, but as Allie becomes more obsessed with bringing ice to the jungle, his family is left behind. You MUST check it out!!! I still wonder why Ford wasn't nominated for his performance.
