Harrison Ford - One of the all time Greats
Brief About Harrison Ford
Ford has also been the star of many high-grossing hit Hollywood blockbusters such as Air Force One and The Fugitive, which have distanced him from his famous Star Wars and Indiana Jones roles. At one point Ford had roles in the top five box-office hits of all time. Five of his films have been inducted into the National Film Registry.
As of September 2006, the combined domestic box office grosses of Ford's films total approximately US$3.10 billion, with worldwide grosses approaching the US$6 billion mark, making Ford the #2 all-time box-office star behind Tom Hanks.
My Favourite Harrison Ford Movie
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Indiana Jones - The Adventure Collection (Special Editions of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark / Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom / Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade)
The trailer that begins each of the three DVDs is indication enough that the release of Indiana Jones: The Adventure Collection, a boxed set of the original trilogy of blockbuster adventure films concocted by director Steven Spielberg and executive producer-story writer George Lucas, was timed to coincide with the May 2008 theatrical release of the long-awaited fourth installment, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Amazon Price: $34.99 (as of 07/10/2009) 
Harrison Ford - Early Life
He was active in the Boy Scouts of America where he achieved its second highest rank, Life Scout and worked at a Scout Camp as a Reptile Study merit badge counselor. Because of this, he and director Steven Spielberg later decided that the character of young Indiana Jones would be depicted as a Life Scout in the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. They also jokingly reversed Ford's knowledge of reptiles into Jones' fear of snakes and spiders.
In 1960, Ford graduated from Maine East High School in Park Ridge, Illinois, where he claims he was picked on by bullies and ignored by girls and also voted "Boy Least Likely to Succeed". He was the first student voice heard on the high school radio station, WMTH-FM where he was also their first sportscaster during his senior year 1959-1960. The radio room still bears his graffiti. He attended Ripon College in Wisconsin, where he was a member of the Sigma Nu Fraternity. He took a drama class in his junior year, chiefly as a way to meet women. Ford, a self-described "late bloomer", became fascinated with acting. Toward the end of his college freshman year, he was a member of a folk band called The Brothers Gross, in which he played gutbucket. He, however, did not graduate from Ripon.
