Director:
Francis Ford Coppola
In the tradition of such obsessively driven directors as Erich von Stroheim and Werner Herzog, Francis Ford Coppola approached the production of Apocalypse Now as if it was his own epic mission into the heart of darkness. On location in the storm-ravaged Philippines, he quite literally went mad as the project threatened to devour him in a vortex of creative despair but from this insanity came one of the greatest films ever made. It began as a John Milius screenplay, transposing Joseph Conrad's classic story "Heart of Darkness" into the horrors of the Vietnam War, following a battle-weary Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) on a secret upriver mission to find and execute the renegade Colonel Kurtz(Marlon Brando), who has reverted to a state of murderous and mystical insanity. The journey is fraught with danger involving war-time action on epic and intimate scales. One measure of the film's awesome visceral impact is the number of sequences, images and lines of dialogue that have literally burned themselves into our cinematic consciousness, from the Wagnerian strike of helicopter gunships on a Vietnamese village to the brutal murder of stowaways and the unflinching fearlessness of ...
 Unique, 2010-05-31
After seeing parts of this movie when my dad watched it a couple of months ago, I couldn't help but be intrigued. Being nice and cheap on Amazon I decided to pick it up. Now I'm more a fan of action packed war films, such as; Platoon, Saving Private Ryan and We Were Soldiers. However, I really enjoyed Apocalypse Now. Whilst not being extremely action packed, it still provides the battles for those types of fans, whilst at the same time portraying the horror and madness of war.
The acting is superb. Marlon Brando and Micheal Sheen are on top form with some great supporting roles including the late Dennis Hopper as an insane photographer. I just have to say that everything about the film is great. As i've said, the acting is brilliant, the action is gritty and tough, and there are some beautifully directed scenes.
Even if you're a fan of Blockbuster War films (like me), Apocaylpse Now is still amazing. Francis Ford Coppola has crafted a real masterpiece, that is no doubt one of the most legendary (war) films ever. A must watch!

Do you know anyone who hasn't seen this movie? A box-office smash when released in 1993, this spectacular update of the popular 1960s TV series stars Harrison Ford as a surgeon wrongly accused of the murder of his wife. He escapes from a prison transport bus (in one of the most spectacular stunt-action sequences ever filmed) and embarks on a frantic quest for the true killer's identity, while a tenacious U.S. marshal (Tommy Lee Jones, in an Oscar-winning role) remains hot on his trail. Director Andrew Davis hit the big time with this expert display of polished style and escalating suspense, but it's the antagonistic chemistry between Jones and Ford that keeps this thriller cooking to the very end. In roles that seem custom-fit to their screen personas, the two stars maintain a sharply human focus to the grand-scale manhunt, and the intelligent screenplay never resorts to convenient escapes or narrative shortcuts. Equally effective as a thriller and a character study, The Fugitive is a Hollywood blockbuster that truly deserves its ongoing popularity. --Jeff Shannon
A MOVIE WITH A REAL STORY, 2010-08-17
A great story, very good actors in Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones. A little puzzling that Lt. Gerard took so long to realize Kimble was innocent, but apart from that excellent.

To call this cut of Blade Runner ‘long awaited’ would be a heavy, heavy understatement. It’s taken 25 years since the first release of one of the science-fiction genre’s flagship films to get this far, and understandably, Blade Runner: The Final Cut has proved to be one of the most eagerly awaited DVD releases of all time. And it’s been well worth the wait. Director Ridley Scott’s decision to head back to the edit suite and cut together one last version of his flat-out classic film has been heavily rewarded, with a genuinely definitive version of an iconic, visually stunning and downright intelligent piece of cinema. Make no mistake: this is by distance the best version of Blade Runner. And it’s never looked better, either. The core of Blade Runner, of course, remains the same, with Harrison Ford’s Deckard (the Blade Runner of the title) on the trail of four ‘replicants’, cloned humans that are now illegal. And he does so across an amazing cityscape that’s proven to be well ahead of its time, with astounding visuals that defied the supposed limits of special effects back in 1982. Backed up with a staggering extra fe...
Blade Runner: The Final Cut!, 2010-09-07
Blade Runner is one of those iconic films that sets the standards for others to follow but they rarely do. With Ridley Scott as the Director and Harrison Ford in the leading role it would be hard to go wrong but I think that what makes this even better is the story.
Similarities to Battlestar Galactica exist but it doesnt detract from the film assuming that the 70's series came first). Androids on the run and killing people in order to escape and live as something more than slaves is the main plot with Ruetger Heigher (probably spelt wrong) playing the role of the main android rebel leader.
What follows is a very clever plot and story that has to be seen by all Sci-Fi fans. This film more than some others deserved/deserves a sequel, where other androids are loose and evading humans through the asteroid belts where the originals came from!

Steven Spielberg and George Lucas's 1981 resurrection of the Saturday-matinee adventure genre was deservedly popular, and kicked off a successful trilogy. Set in 1936, this first feature introduces Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, an archaeologist and adventurer whose quests for rare antiquities frequently find him running from one menace or another. Raiders Of The Lost Ark finds Dr. Jones in the middle of a Nazi plot to use the mysterious powers of the Ark of the Covenant to win the war. Karen Allen plays the love interest with an old-fashioned "man's woman" appeal (she can drink anybody under the table and is free with her fists). The constant, cliffhanger appeal of the movie is great fun--one is always wondering how Indy will get out of one scrape after another--and Ford's career got a big boost with his self-effacing but masculine portrayal of the hero. --Tom Keogh
the best of the saga, 2010-06-27
Love this film, even after all these years and those sad airings on ITV with the poor editing and the misplaced commercial breaks. Lost count how many times I've seen this but the Map Room scene still gives me goosebumps.

If you can manage to suspend your disbelief for the duration, you won't be disappointed with Air Force One. Harrison Ford plays a US president who single-handedly employs his rigid anti-terrorism policy when a band of Russian thugs hatch a mid-flight takeover of Air Force One. Gary Oldman, who chews the scenery as the lead terrorist, will shoot a hostage at the slightest provocation. Glenn Close plays the sternly pragmatic vice president who negotiates with Oldman from her Washington seat of power. If you can believe that the aircraft's pressurized cabin can sustain hundreds of rounds of machine-gun fire, you'll buy anything in this entertaining potboiler, especially thanks to Ford's stalwart heroics and some nifty special effects. Director Wolfgang Petersen (Das Boot) keeps the action moving so fast you won't be sweating the details.--Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com

Imagine Harrison Ford as a rogue scientist exploring not ancient artifacts of lost arks, but biochemical research to help cure rare diseases. In Extraordinary Measures, Ford manages to keep some of that wry rebellious Indiana Jones energy as he plays Dr. Robert Stonehill, a fringe researcher whose findings just might help keep alive the two children of John Crowley, played with heart and sobriety by Brendan Fraser. Extraordinary Measures is based on a true story, one chronicled in the gripping book The Cure: How a Father Raised $100 Million--and Bucked the Medical Establishment--in a Quest to Save His Children, by Wall Street Journal reporter Geeta Anand. The cast is excellent, with Ford tamping down his occasional urge to vamp for the camera, and Fraser grounded in his first true adult role. The supporting cast is also strong, including Keri Russell as Crowley's frantic wife, facing the near-certain death of both of her children; Dee Wallace, Jared Harris, and Courtney B. Vance also appear as strong supporting characters. Director Tom Vaughan switches gears from his wildly successful romp What Happens in Vegas to turn in...

Prescient Espionage Horror From Coppola's Golden Period, 2010-03-02
Next time you meet one of those people who trot out "If you've nothing to hide you've nothing to fear" from our CCTV busybody surveillance polis, make them watch this superb film.
Yes, espionage and horror are valid words. Harry Caul's job is to spy on people by tapping their phone calls and face to face conversations. He begins to have misgivings about this activity when his latest assignment begins to have the heavy odour of revenge and possibly murder as a possible outcome. Little does he know...
A quietly intense film and principle performance from Hackman as Caul, with a disquieting atmosphere and perplexing intelligence. The director's commentary is well worth a listen.
Who's listening? To what end?

When Samuel (Lukas Haas), a young Amish boy travelling with his mother Rachel (Kelly McGillis), witnesses the murder of a police officer in a public restroom, he and his mother become the temporary wards of John Book (Harrison Ford), a detective who's been assigned to solve the crime. After suspect line-ups and mug-shot books yield nothing, Samuel, in the most memorable scene of the film, recognizes the murderer as a narcotics agent whose picture he sees in the precinct. Once Book realizes that the police chief is in on it, too, he whisks Samuel and Rachel back home to Amish country, where he himself goes into hiding as a plain Amish man. Witness' juxtaposition of the life of the Amish and the violence of inner-city police corruption work surprisingly well for the story, and Kelly McGillis as the falling in love widow gives an almost perfect performance. Directed by Peter Weir, the film is extremely successful in drawing the viewer into its world and, accordingly, is immensely entertaining. The only thing that mars its polish is the one-dimensional, almost cartoonish handling of the upper-echelon police corruption--a subtler, more realistic treatment of this aspect of the st...
Witness..., 2010-02-11
Harrison Ford is directed by Peter Weir in this excellent crime thriller where a big city cop has to relocate to an Amish community to protect a young Amish boy who is witness to a crime in the big city.
During the time that the Detective Captain John Book (Ford) spends with the Amish people he finds himself attracted to Rachel Lapp who is played by Kelly McGillis, under the masterful direction of Weir who paces the film so as to alternate between explosive violence and suppressed erotic tension between the Ford and McGillis characters this above average crime thriller, is a master class in modern film making.
The strong cast also includes Danny Glover and look out for a young Viggo Mortensen playing an Amish farmer.
In 1985 the film deservedly won two Oscar's one for editing and the other for the screenplay.
