I think that " Witnesss " is a really good crafted movie, it has a little humor, sexuality, good actors ( even Mr. Wood fits in ) a good film music....
Aother one that I like is " Blade Runner ".
Follow Ups:
One such film is Random Hearts, where all the burden is on the incredibly sexy Kristin Scott Thomas, Ford being pulled into her orbit, but not distracting too much.
.., if only because the relentless tugging of the real contributions to the plot divert my attention away from his two-dimensionality. Ford tried to screw this movie up, but could'nt.

patrick,I agree that "Witness" was well crafted. I just thought the premise with Ford hiding in shaker drag was too contrived. A tiny detail: when Ford collaspes at the wheel of the car and demolishes the farmer's elaborate wood bird house, Ford did the repairs to the prop himself- he had worked as a carpenter before success as an actor.
Yes, I completely forgot "Blade Runner" which of course is an amazing and influential movie visually and I think derives it's status from Trumbull and Scott in spite of Ford. It's amazing to see "Blade Runner" today as it's many. many imitators obscure the impact of it's original.
Interestingly, there was an originally supressed scene- (a flying white horse dream I think) which implied the Ford character may also be a "replicant" or artificial person. A robot.
J'ai toujours pensee qu'il etait brilliant de Cameron pour mouler Schwarzenegger comme les "Terminator"- un robot car parler articule, geste subtile, et expressions faciale ne sont pas selone les besoins pour creer l'illusion d'un robot de tueur.
Salut AND Gruss,
Guten Abend Bam,No, I did not find him to contrived in the Hamish clothes but more like Pinoccio and that fit the scene, was my feeling...
I know he was a good carpenter and later in the film at building the farm house he was really at it too..
We should add that the scene when he is a voyeur is not bad, too.
In the book he actually is an replicant, and in the director cut too, but I prefer the " commercial" version.
Blade Runner was not a success, every one wanted H.Ford as Star War hero...much later on it did catch thank too for the fabulous music Vangelis did craft for this motion picture.
It was dark and poetic.Tchüss AND Bonsoir,
P.
