Sabrina (Paramount, 1995)

Harrison Ford plays Linus Larrabee, a wealthy scion who schemes to save a corporate merger as well as his brother’s upcoming marriage by romancing young interloper Sabrina Fairchild (Julia Ormond). The plan works, but complications ensue, with the roguish Linus unintentionally falling in love with his quarry. A remake of the 1954 romantic comedy of the same title starring William Holden, Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn, 1995′s Sabrina lives up to the original, with Ford, Ormond and Greg Kinnear all delivering superb performances.

Great Ford line: “And I want tickets to whatever Broadway show nobody can get tickets to.”
Director: Sydney Pollack
On DVD: Sabrina (Paramount, 2002)

American Graffiti (Universal, 1973)

Harrison Ford plays Bob Falfa, a cowboy-hat wearing hot rodder cruising the fun streets of 1962 California in his boss, midnight black 1955 Chevy. Ford’s role is small but memorable, as he searches for Big John Milner (Paul Le Mat), hoping to challenge him for the unofficial title of fastest car in the Valley. Falfa and Milner eventually meet at dawn on Paradise Road amidst burning rubber, smoking engines and steely-eyed stares.

Great Ford line (to Paul Le Mat, who drives a yellow 1932 Ford deuce coup): “I like the color of your car there, man. What’s that s’posed to be? Sort of a cross between piss yella’ and puke green ain’t it?”
Director: George Lucas
On DVD: American Graffiti Collector’s Edition (Universal, 1998)
