    Tommy Lee Jones won best supporting actor for his role in this movie. The whole movie is so great it's just a solid gold home run, and just holds up so well over the passage of time.

      One thing I noticed upon rewatching is, it subtley made it episodic, it was so innovative. Like, when he's walking on the train tracks, into that dark tunnel, you could just imagine the end credits playing. and then another episode ends at the hospitals' "howz the kid doing","he'll live", smiles, cut to end credits. Next episode begins "One thing I don't get about Kimble coming here to the hospital". The easter parade is the ending of another episode. Y'now? Like a subtle homage/tip of the hat/easter egg to it's origins. It's so beautiful.

      I agree - I was blown away by Ford's performance at the beginning with the questioning-turned-interrogation & the nuance he brought in general to the character. I was expecting just another gruff Han or Indiana (not to say those characters don't have dimensions, they absolutely do) but the range of sensitivity and heartache Ford portrayed was captivating. Can't say enough about Tommy Lee Jones either, he's always a delight, but there was so much going on under the surface as he shouted, shot, and cracked some great one liners, you wanted to know more about him & could imagine his depths to the point that when the end came & he was so caring, it was the perfect kind of surprise - the kind that makes total sense if you're paying attention. Lot of substance in this movie that added to the viewing experience, at least for me. I think if anyone else were in those roles, the story would have suffered. It doesn't get clearer than that as to how important what Ford & Jones brought to the characters elevated the quality of the entire experience from a good story to an unforgettable film.

The editors helped this movie so much. original plan in the early cut had the bus crash happening at about the half hour/45 minute mark. The editors had the idea the use flashbacks and crime scene photos all cut together and ended up with the bus crash happening right after the credits. The result is a film that hits the ground running and never lets up. The best of its kind. This comment was originally like 20 other facts, but I checked myself before I wriggedy wrecked myself.

    Please consider submitting "Witness" to your patreons to vote on. This is one of Harrison Ford's earlier dramatic films outside of Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Ford is a detective hiding from criminals among the Amish Pennsylvania, and shows the contrast of cultures in the world he lives in versus the Amish woman (Kelly McGillis) he falls in love with. This movie earned eight Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Ford, and winning Best Original Screenplay and Best Film Editing.

    I was a waiter at a restaurant in the same building as a major hotel in downtown Chicago when this was being filmed. Every morning, a friendly couple came in every morning for breakfast. He was very particular about having his toast served HOT.
    Turns out, they were Daniel Roebuck (who played Biggs) and his fiancé (now ex-wife) Kelly. Since Kelly had nothing to do while Daniel was working, we hung out - and visited Daniel on set.
    I met Tommy Lee Jones -
    Daniel: "Tommy Lee, this is my friend Dan. He's an actor here in Chicago" [at the time, not anymore, no, you've never seen me in anything]
    Tommy Lee: "Yeah? Good" [But his tone wasn't complimentary, so I'm not really sure what he meant, but that was all he said to me.]
    And I met Harrison Ford, which needs a bit more set-up -
    Daniel had many scenes with Tommy Lee Jones, but very few (only one, I think) with Harrison Ford. And while Tommy Lee Jones is a movie star, Harrison Ford is a MOVIE STAR, so I don't think Daniel was comfortable just casually introducing me. But I was on-set for the scene at the convention where Kimball confronts Nichols. In between takes, Harrison (because we're on a first name basis now) was at Craft Services, and Daniel said "go say hello if you want, he's super nice". So I did. Sort of.
    I grew up in SoCal and I've had many encounters with fame. This is the only time I was star-struck. As I awkwardly walked up to the table, he was eating chips and salsa.
    Harrison (noticing me gawking at him): "They need more chips."
    My brain frantically trying to think of something to say: Oh my God, it's Harrison Ford, Harrison Freaking Ford, he's Han Solo AND Indiana Jones! That's it - Indiana! Say something about Indiana!
    What I said: "I've never even been to Indiana."
    THAT was my brilliant response to "They need more chips."
    Daniel, Kelly and I stayed in touch long enough for me to be a guest at their wedding, but that's the last time I saw either of them. Kelly and I may have chatted on the phone once or twice. A short but fun friendship, forever treasured.

    Despite putting on an iconic performance, Tommy Lee Jones gets a lot of flak for winning Best Supporting Actor in the 66th Academy Awards. The other nominees that year were 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". On top of that, there were snubs such as 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...

    Woah in german the dialogue at 12:36 in the sewer has such a different tone!
    "I didn't kill my wife!"
    "I don't care!".
    In the german version Tommy Lee Jones answers "Das ist mir scheiß egal!" which means "I don't give a Sh*t!". This painted him in such a different light, making him just someone who takes his job very seriously, like "I don't care what you did, you are a fugitive now and I am here to bring you back, the rest is none of my business."
    Sometimes its super weird to hear the original texts for the first time, but often its a whole new and fun experience!
    And just to throw that bit of useless knowledge in: Germany has a very high quality for localizations/translations and voice acting, so in 99% of the cases you are fine with just watching the dubbed version.

    The reason Nichols helped Kimble: Frankly, given Kimble's circumstances, he didn't see Richard as a threat. It was all business about making sure Kimble didn't derail Provasic. Nichols actually liked Kimble and if Kimble would just have concentrated on running, Nichols could live with that. But once Kimble starts putting the pieces together, Nichols not only has to kill Richard but needs to know what his proof against Provasic is and make sure that was destroyed. A crappy friend but 'It was just business'

Favorite scene was the part in the hospital with the little boy but I loved the chemistry between Ford & Jones and that scene at the end was downright tender! Such a sweet moment between the characters. And favorite line was definitely the comment about the ponytail!! Only complaint was not enough Julianne Moore, but I'll let it slide ;)
    If you're up for more intense but great paranoia/mystery movies I'd recommend Three Days of the Condor and Marathon Man, both from the '70s and phenomenal. Also just checked out Point Break & cannot wait for you guys to watch more Keanu movies! That & Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure are must-sees.

    This movie was based on the American television series
    "The Fugitive" which ran from 1963 to 1967. The last episode was the
    most watched TV episode in American history up to that point. 72% of American
    television sets which were turned on when the episode aired were tuned in to
    The Fugitive.
    It is widely believed that the show was based on the real
    life case of Dr. Sam Sheppard, who was wrongfully convicted of his wife’s
    murder. The creator of the show denied this, possibly for legal reasons.
    Julianne Moore is ranked so high in the credits because she
    originally had a much larger role in the film but it was almost entirely cut in
    editing. Originally, she befriended him after he saves the kid and they start a
    romantic relationship, but this was thought be in poor taste given that it was
    so soon after his wife’s murder.
