A gold standard in movie making. This movie did one of my favorite things perfectly. All the supporting characters look, talk and act like they would be real people doing those jobs. It always feels authentic. Ford and Jones are masterful in their chemistry, the movie doesnt work without it. Like The Shawshank Redemption, and LA Confidential this movie just got everything right.

1:23 That Best Supporting Actor category in the 66th Academy Awards was incredibly stacked: Tommy Lee Jones as Samuel Gerard in "The Fugitive" Ralph Fiennes as Amon Göth in "Schindler's List" John Malkovich as Mitch Leary in "In the Line of Fire" Leonardo DiCaprio as Arnie Grape in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" Pete Postlethwaite as Giuseppe Conlon in "In the Name of the Father" The snubs include Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday in "Tombstone", Ben Kingsley as Itzhak Stern in "Schindler's List", Sean Penn as David Kleinfeld in "Carlito's Way", certain actors in "True Romance", etc... Also, a person who has seen this film multiple times should never be jealous of people who've never seen it.

@JohneCook4 ай бұрын
Chris, it was ABSOLUTELY the right decision to go back and revisit these films. This was a masterful look back. Roger Ebert's review is similarly masterful: "Jones has become one of the great craggy presences of the screen, often cast as a villain, but with a half-masked amusement that borders on contempt for lesser beings: He has the charm of a hangman promising to make things as comfortable as possible. In "The Fugitive," his role is more complex than at first it seems. As the chase continues, he gradually becomes convinced of the innocence of his prey, but this conviction is wisely never spelled out in dialogue, and remains ambivalent, expressed in the look in his eyes, or his pauses between words."

Another one of my all-time favorite Harrison Ford movies is “Presumed Innocent”. If you’ve never seen it, you’re going to love it. There are so many incredible performances in that film, not just Harrison Ford’s. It’s perhaps my favorite one of his films because it was so well executed. It’s a much darker film than The Fugitive, but it’s definitely a must see for any Harrison Ford fan.

Absolutely love rewatching The Fugitive annually with my step-dad, it's been our tradition for at least 28 years! Each viewing still sends my heart racing during those intensely crafted scenes - they're nothing short of sublime. Couldn't agree more about the film's impeccable editing and pacing; it's like every frame is meticulously calculated, yet they still find time to linger on the expressions of secondary characters, deepening the narrative without missing a beat. Harrison Ford truly gets to showcase his range here, but Tommy Lee Jones, in a stroke of cinematic fortune, matches (if not surpasses) him at every turn. The '90s blessed us with some stellar cinema, but in my book, "The Fugitive" stands unrivalled. It's astonishing to think this gem was inspired by a TV series - just goes to show the magic of a brilliant adaptation!

The use of miniatures, especially in the '60s-'80s, was so great because they provided a level of texture and tangibility that even the best CGI can't match. Miniatures along with puppets, animatronics, prosthetics, and matte paintings helped to immerse the viewer in the dimensionality of a film in a way that is difficult to articulate, but you absolutely feel it in films like the original "Star Wars", the original Indiana Jones trilogy, and LotR. The loss of those kinds of practical elements is one of the reasons why most genre films today kind of feel generic visually.

The Fugitive has been overlooked for so long. I'm so glad it's making a comeback. The Fugitive is one of the few examples of a movie adapted from a TV series that is actually better than the source material. It is also more proof that the 1990s is one of the greatest decades in film history. Tommy Lee Jones totally deserved that Oscar win. It's just a shame that Harrison didnt get nominated.

Certainly his work during the interrogation scene for example, is some of his best work. Tommy Lee Jones is phenomenal and the stunts, tension and propulsive narrative really do put you right there in the middle of a manhunt. One of the best thrillers ever made.
