most people have had the bond discussion who was the best bond, connery, moore, lazenby, dalton, brosnan and everyone has a favorite.
I was talkin to a friend and I recently purchased "patriot games" and "clear and present danger" for 5 bucks a piece, they were on sale at FYE.
I already had Red October and Sum of all fears.
I loved the books and Red October was always my favorite of the 4 movies, naturally for me sum of all fears doesn't even really rank with the other 3.
But I have always said that Alec Baldwin was the best Jack Ryan by leaps and bounds over Harrison Ford. Obviously ford is a great actor who always got great parts, from star wars to jones to jack ryan, etc. He's your modern day Gregory Peck, Gary Cooper type actor. He was ok as Ryan but everyone seems to associate Ryan with Harrison Ford, while its only 4 movies in total and he did 2.
Mainly I always felt he was too old to be Ryan, secondly he just didn't play a convinicng ryan. He tried to play him too much like a super hero james bond type, rather than desk guy who gets thrown into high conflict situations like Baldwin did.

Harrison Ford is lazy and overrated. he constantly takes roles where he does less and less. Alec Baldwin, on his worst day, can act circles around Ford. Ford is the worst of what acting can drop off to....so rich, so lazy, that he refuses to stretch, learn or grow. Affleck is starting to fall into that, much like Paul Neuman did for a bit.

Affleck has got to be the worlds worst actor. Why would anyone put him on a list with real talent is beyond me.

harrison ford-too old for the roll
affleck- too young and well, he's affleck
baldwin- just right
I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.
That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you.

Boy, boy, crazy boy,
Get cool, boy!
Got a rocket in your pocket,
Keep coolly cool, boy!
Don't get hot,
'Cause man, you got
Some high times ahead.
Take it slow and Daddy-O,
You can live it up and die in bed!
Boy, boy, crazy boy!
Stay loose, boy!
Breeze it, buzz it, easy does it.
Turn off the juice, boy!
Go man, go,
But not like a yo-yo schoolboy.
Just play it cool, boy,
Real cool!

Make of our lives one life,
Day after day, one life.
Now it begins, now we start
One hand, one heart;
Even death won't part us now.

There's a place for us,
Somewhere a place for us.
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere.
There's a time for us,
Some day a time for us,
Time together with time spare,
Time to learn, time to care,
Some day!
Somewhere.
We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere . . .
There's a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there.
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow,
Some day,
Somewhere

Oh no, Anita, no,
You should know better!
You were in love - or so you said.
You should know better . . .
I have a love, and it's all that I have.
Right or wrong, what else can I do?
I love him; I'm his,
And everything he is
I am, too.
I have a love, and it's all that I need,
Right or wrong, and he needs me, too.
I love him, we're one;
There's nothing to be done,
Not a thing I can do
But hold him, hold him forever,
Be with him now, tomorrow
And all of my life!
When love comes so strong,
There is no right or wrong,
Your love is your life.

Baldwin - tho I might be biased, as he's one of my favorite actors.
I recently saw The Cooler and as usual, he was amazing - as was Macy.
Ford was excellent in Regarding Henry, tho the rest of his work never really matched his role there IMO. I hate that he took the action/thriller stuff from the Jack Ryan series and tried to use it on his own (Air Force One, for example).

the 5 people that voted for Ford should be tarred and then feathered.

I agree with Goat, his performance in regarding henry was very good. He's been extremely lucky in his career, mainly due to star wars and indiana jones. I also agree that he kinda took the Ryan character and incorporated it into some of his following roles like air force one. I remember many people thought that air force one was a part of the Ryan series.

Baldwin is great in the scumbag role, I hate him in any "hero" roles.
