As far as male actors go, Ford probably has the most iconic roles in Hollywood history.
John Wayne has many but they're all small variations of the same John Wayne persona.
Tom Cruise might give Ford a run for his money, but boys grew up pretending to be Indiana Jones and Han Solo, did they do that with any of Cruise's characters?
Clint Eastwood is another actor with a nice list of iconic roles but none of them (besides Dirty Harry) approach the Harrison Ford stratosphere.

Eastwoods's the man with no name from the spaghetti westerns is as big as any of Fords characters…
No way.
President James Marshall
Knew I was forgetting one in there.
But what about Bruce Lee?double aught said:
No way.
Can you name a single Bruce Lee character, by name? I sure can't.
Okay. Yeah, but do you think Bruce Lee ever ate nachos? He lived in California, but he was a health nut, but he also went to a lot of Hollywood parties that probably had nachos, and I could see him eating some then, or maybe on a movie set…
His wife was as American as wonder bread, I doubt she was cooking him authentic Chinese food…
it's sad there's a new indiana jones movie coming out in a week and i just realized it
Paramount + has all four movies. I've been cycling through them in anticipation for Indy5, I'm back to Crystal Skulls again tonight…
Has Harrison ever worked with Tom cruise in a movie?

Knight and Day. That's it.
He's in that?
My bad, he wasn't. Google search claimed he was and I figured it was a bit part uncredited. So nope, doesn't seem like they ever were in a movie together. Interesting...Brian Earl Spilner said:

Do you think Harrison Ford and Phoebe Waller-Bridge ever talked about the fact that she’s the Millennium Falcon

I would put money on Ford not knowing that.
I would put even more money on him not caring when he finds out.jeffk said:

I guess I don't know it either. Was she the voice of that droid in Solo or something?jeffk said:

Yes. I had to look that up, though.double aught said:I guess I don't know it either. Was she the voice of that droid in Solo or something?jeffk said:

I thought about posting that exact gif, but I thought it would get taken down by mods.

Man with no name...what...at least three major western iconic movies. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Fist Full of Dollars. Hang 'Em High.
Dirty Harry Callahan. Five movies: Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, Sudden Impact, Dead Pool, The Enforcer.
Coogan's Bluff. Heartbreak Ridge. Every Which Way But Loose. Pale Rider. Unforgiven. Space Cowboys. Escape From Alcatraz. Bridges of Madison County. Firefox.
JOSEY. FREAKING. WALES.
Plenty more before you even get into directing.
Ford can't hold Eastwood's jock. And I love Ford.
Directing movies doesn't have anything to do with this.
I wasn't arguing that Eastwood doesn't have a better overall body of work.
I wasn't arguing that Clint Eastwood isn't a bigger Hollywood name than Harrison Ford.
Frankly I like Eastwood a lot more than Ford as an actor.
I'm saying that Ford has more iconic roles than Eastwood, or anyone else in movie history. I think Han Solo and Indiana Jones edge out The Man with No Name and Dirty Harry.

Ford is like 80. I'm almost 50.
What are you arguing here?

Not a single one of those is nearly as iconic as Han or Indy. Try again.

Some of y'all have a really weird concept of what defines an iconic role. I wouldn't call a role iconic unless it really transcends the movie or movies or whatever, to the point where even people who haven't seen it can at least recognize it, potentially name it.
Feel like a bunch named in this thread would not fall under that. Great movies, great characters, great performances, not necessarily iconic

Edit: Rocky, Terminator, Darth Vader, E.T.
If we're talking the two actors who are dominating the last several posts, I'd say there's two each. I'd give Harrison Han Solo and Indiana Jones. I'd give Eastwood Dirty Harry and Man With No Name (feel like the image is iconic, at least).
Other examples I'd give (not an exhaustive list) are Don Corleone, Darth Vader, James Bond (particularly Connery), Atticus Finch, and Ellen Ripley
