OKAY FINE you've convinced me, I've made him a Letterboxd.

These are arranged in chronological order of release, by year. A couple of them are very old, but I think those would have been late night re-runs that Ford would have stayed up to watch when he could get away with it.

I'm starting with what were very likely movies he saw in childhood, up to early adulthood:

This takes us to around 1970, so I think he would have been about college age at this point. I doubt he had time to watch much during this period, so I only have a couple for it but I expect he rewatched the others if they were showing locally, plus:

Strongly believe he was a BIG fan of Forbin.

Then we move to his pre-portal time in GF, which includes hits such as:

(leftmost on the second row is Invasion of the Body Snatchers!)

And then of course, he goes into the portal. I think that upon his return, Ford would have been eager to hoover up whatever movies he missed while he was away. But I also think he'd be a period snob. I can't see him enjoying 'modern' movies too much, bar a few very specific exceptions.

So, his post-portal catch up favourites might look something like:

And then we tip into much more modern territory. Ford would hold a few newer flicks in his heart, but they're the only exceptions:

There you have it! That's what I think he'd be into throughout the years. I'm probably missing several but these were the main ones to come to mind. I see him as more of a creature-feature/occultist fan than a slasher guy, so several of the bigger movies of the periods are omitted for that reason.

Thanks for giving me something to do while I've been in bed haha!

You get him set up with cabinet locks, outlet covers, garbage-can covers, bolting furniture down so it can’t be turned over, the whole nine yards.

When it’s finished, you stand there with your hands on your hips, looking out at a job well done. You look over at him and ask, “How old are your niece and nephew, anyway?”

he sits there for a second holding the controller, totally baffled. he wasn’t good at something on the first try? the kids are like “oh that’s alright, we can keep tryin—”

ford’s already sitting forward in his chair about to lock in. they could not PRY that game from his fingers.

he has to get used to the feel of the controller, learn the controls, etc. but once he does…

I don’t think he had much of a gut, and was pretty slim. Obviously, he put on a bit of weight during college, but who doesn’t?

(I also think his body in the college pic from TBoB may have just been an oversight since it had been years since they’d written the show/Journal 3 and added those details, and he was still relatively slim here at the end of college in the show)
