Your Top 5 Film Franchises - Blu-ray Forum

Blu Myers · 03-09-2011, 05:21 PM

Just like the title says. Franchise must have at least 3 movies. Here's mine:

1. Halloween
2. Star Wars (All 6)
3. Rocky
4. Lord of the Rings
5. Alien

Chordata · 03-09-2011, 05:23 PM

1. Star Wars
2. Indiana Jones
3. Lord of the Rings
4-6*. Bourne, Tom Clancy (Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger, Sum of All Fears), and the new Bond movies

Sorry I cheated already.

AKORIS · 03-09-2011, 05:24 PM

1] The James Bond Series

2] Alien series (based on the stength of the first 2 films)

3] Star Wars series

4] Indiana Jones series

5] Dirty Harry series

Walts Ghost · 03-09-2011, 05:33 PM

Back to the Future/Indiana Jones (can't choose one over the other )
Star Wars
Lethal Weapon
Harry Potter

Runner ups: Die Hard, Bond (Craig, Connery, Dalton), Alien, Terminator

This is tough....

1. Lord of the Rings
2. Star Wars
3. Indiana Jones
4. Harry Potter
5. Terminator

I was so torn trying to decide between Terminator, Matrix and Alien.

Isnt Francis a girls name?

I'd change it slightly to be 'Top 5 Film Franchises that didn't completely suck by the last film'...

Frankly I think James Bond is the only one that is still good.

It really is hard to pick 5. I forgot to include:

Friday the 13th
Die Hard
Rambo
Terminator
Harry Potter

I love them all!

Batman1980 · 03-09-2011, 06:04 PM

Lord of the Rings
Star Wars
Harry Potter

Mahatma · 03-09-2011, 06:18 PM

Does movies adapted from Charles Dickens go under franchise?

Terminator
Alien
Back to the future
Die hard
Star wars OT

If the above question is valid,replace Die hard with Great expectations/Oliver Twist/Christmas carol.

Yea, it was really hard for me to choose as well.

I really wanted to add Terminator, Bond (Connery, Dalton, and Craig years), Alien, Lord of the Rings and Dirty Harry as well. It was hard to choose...haha.

Somebody can't count, you picked six, which means Die Hard gets left out in the cold. I love Back to the Future also but I think they're just fun movies, I don't consider them important to Hollywood.

I said I couldn't choose between the those two, they're both my favorites. They're both number one so you shut your face.

And Back to the Future is my favorite movie ever, I consider it important to Hollywood.

Batman1980 · 03-09-2011, 06:43 PM

I am surprised a film franchise that has been going since the 60s and has spanned 23 films is not getting more love in this thread, I guess Mr. Bond just isn't that popular any more. Silly kids!
*runs for his life*

I really only like about half of the films in the Bond franchise, so it's not one of my favorites. Where as I enjoy all the films in the others. That's the only reason I didn't choose it as my top 5.

csdot · 03-09-2011, 07:32 PM

1. Man With No Name
2. Terminator
3. Alien
4. 007
5. The Pink Panther

I understand not being able to choose, but when you have two (2) # 1's then the next spot is # 3. So Die Hard (at #5) must come off your list.

You can't justify your way to getting 6 picks when the question was top 5.
