I gotta disagree. Ford doesn't work that much, but I think he's picked lots of interesting parts between his iconic hero roles.
He's an obsessed weirdo in Mosquito Coast. He's a jerk, then a recovering patient in Regarding Henry. The villian in What Lies Beneath. He's mostly a comedic bumbler in Hollywood Homicide and Six Days Seven Nights, and he's a stuffed shirt in Morning Glory. He's was a morally ambiguous anti-hero in Blade Runner. Havent seen it yet, but wasn't he also the villain in Cowboys and Aliens?
Seems like Ford was at his peak from 1980-1993. He should have been nominated for Mosquito Coast. What Lies Beneath i thought was cool, but it wasnt that popular. Although i don't think its good, IJATKOTCS is the only big hit he's had in the last 10 years. Its a shame whats happen to his career nowadays. If IMDB is correct that he turned down Traffic and Michael Douglas replaced him, then thats probably the biggest mistake of his career.
We all remember his WTF!? look when he announced that shakespeare in love won best picture over the heavily favored saving private ryan. Maybe he offended the movie gods cuz his career has been a shadow ever since then :(
