AMERICAN GRAFFITI (1973)
Bob Falfa
Years before Ford hit gold playing ragtag heroes like Han Solo and Indiana Jones, he showed his movie star potential with his brief, yet memorable appearance as Bob Falfa in the coming of age flick, American Graffiti. Falfa barely survives his drag racing days as a foul-mouthed, cowboy-hat-wearing rebel, but it was just the beginning of Ford's movie career, paving the way for future gigs with the then emerging writer-director George Lucas. —Gretchen Hansen
