'Raiders of the Lost Ark' -

Of course, the world's introduction to Indiana Jones is a crowd favorite.

'The Conversation' - Ford plays a supporting role in this classic 1974 thriller, which follows a surveillance expert as he becomes the surveilled.

'Apocalypse Now' -

'American Graffiti' - Four years before 'Star Wars' began, Ford worked with George Lucas on his film that followed a group of high school students on their last night before leaving to college. One of Ford's first-ever films will go down as his greatest!

And now, his 15 worst films - With so many hits, he had to have some misses. It's all about balance.

'Ender's Game' - Adapted from a young adult novel series, Ford plays the mentor of a teenager who has mastered space combat. Sci-fi usually works well for Ford, but not in this case.

'Cowboys & Aliens' -

In another sci-fi that flopped, Ford and Daniel Craig play cowboys who must fight off an alien invasion.

© NL Beeld

'The Mosquito Coast' - Ford's character moves his family to Central America to start a new civilization, and the movie went about as well as his character's plan.

'Regarding Henry' - A lawyer must learn how to speak again after losing his memory in a shooting, and apparently audiences wished they could lose their memory of watching this film. 

© NL Beeld

'Hollywood Homicide' - In a classic tale of a veteran detective partnering up with a rookie, the stars fail to bring something new to the table. 

© NL Beeld

'Extraordinary Measures' - Ford plays a scientist in this poorly received film about a businessman who tries to save his children from a rare disease.

© NL Beeld

'Firewall' -

The film about a security expert who is forced to steal from the bank he works for didn't quite spark people's interest.

© NL Beeld

'Force 10 from Navarone' -

Not all of Ford's sequels were a hit, like this one that follows a military team during World War II.

© NL Beeld

'The Frisco Kid' - Ford plays a bank robber who travels with a Polish rabbi (Gene Wilder) in the Wild West.

© NL Beeld

'Crossing Over' - An immigration officer must investigate his own partner in a murder case in this crime drama which apparently wasn't quite dramatic enough.

© NL Beeld

'Random Hearts' - This peculiar plot line of a police officer and congresswoman falling in love after their adulterous spouses die might've done better, or been more believable, if it was sci-fi.

© NL Beeld

'Heroes' - To be fair, Ford only plays a supporting role in this film about a Vietnam veteran who travels the country with a woman he just met.

'The Expendables 3' - Another sequel bites the dust. At least Ford got to play a pilot and carry out his real-life love of flying.

© NL Beeld

'Hanover Street' - This film about a romance between an English nurse and an American pilot proves Ford had better luck flying spaceships than airplanes.

'Paranoia' -

Ford plays a tech billionaire in this corporate espionage thriller that you likely haven't heard of—and for good reason. He was 71 when this came out, so give him a break!
