The ‘Indiana Jones’ movies are an adventure-junkie’s dream series, filmed in the style of the classic pulp series’ like Buck Rogers.
Harrison Ford portrays this character like a dream, and alongside Han Solo he built his name in Hollywood quickly. Jones’ wry sense of humor, the quick-witted nature of the character, and the memorable character might be one of the most famous characters in movie history.
He's Back
'The Terminator' makes another appearance on the list, and for good reason. This famous science-fiction film had plenty of special effect help, even if it was made before the emergence of widespread CGI.
Director James Cameron's vision of a future war between man and machines has inspired plenty of work, including The Matrix, and Schwarzenegger ends up pretty beat up by the end.
He's Not Such a Bad Robot
Behind the scenes Arnold had to get plenty of makeup work and effects done to turn into the battered and beaten T-800, but he and Cameron remained fast friends despite.
This photo shows them standing side-by side, and Cameron even has a smile on his face – Arnold might be trying to smile, but there's plenty of detailed work on his face, which means he might not have the ability to, or he didn't want to mess up the makeup person's hard work.
Young Movie Heroes
Here we see Harrison Ford and director Steven Spielberg taking a break under the hot sun, while filming what looks like the opening scene of 'Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark'. It's somewhat amazing to see these two Hollywood pillars so young and fresh.
Fresh-faced at least, since they're working in the jungle and under the hot sun.
The Original Hero
The very first person to play the 'Man of Steel' on the silver screen was the famous Christopher Reeves, and many still consider him to be the standard for supermen. His iconic hair curl, lantern jaw, and broad stature created the visual look that we still conjure up when we imagine an American hero.
Reeves was tragically rendered quadriplegic after being thrown from a horse, and requires a portable ventilator just to breath, but he's still a hero to us.
