100.  The Mosquito Coast

This Harrison Ford movie is a little different than his norm, in my opinion. He desires to move his family to the jungle to start his own civilization with the perfect family. Over time, as he tries to transform his own family, it brings out a really negative side to him and causes issues in the family.
