Top ten movie franchises - Blu-ray Forum

mdtulp · 08-11-2008, 09:04 PM

Just seeing what you all think are the best movie series ever put out(at least three films)

10. Hannibal (Silence, Hannibal, Red Dragon, Manhunter)
9. Dirty Harry
8. Nightmare on Elm Street
7. Back to the Future
6. Spiderman
5. Pirates
4. Star Trek
3. Aliens
2. Godfather
1. Star Wars

Batman needs in there: Batman, Ratman Returns, Batman Begins, and Dark Knight (I agree that all of the other ones, minus the original Adam West movie, were absolutely horrible).

Also Terminator. I'm sure the new one will make up for Terminator 3 (It was o.k.).

Also Evil Dead, Halloween, LOTR.

Lepidopterous · 08-11-2008, 09:36 PM

If it's for the biggest franchises ever, Shrek should be there too, but since it's for best franchises, maybe not.

Thats easy. Which franchise has six movies and more on the way, animated continuations, comics, novels, toys, video games, lunchboxes, clothing and its fans laugh at Trekies? Star Wars!

masob98 · 08-11-2008, 09:56 PM

Star Wars will always be the number 1 franchise, case closed. That's why everybody is so eagerly awaiting the bluray release of these movies.

xTHE TRUTHx · 08-11-2008, 10:17 PM

Yea Im ready for LOTR and Aliens too.

Ferris · 08-12-2008, 12:26 PM

The reason Star Wars wasn't number 1 for me is Episodes 1-3... The original trilogy, if considered alone, would EASILY be number one for me. However, considering there are 3 more movies which were "meh" to me takes it out of the top spot. I've not (and won't) seen the CGI one, so I can't make a call on that one.

Steelmaker · 08-12-2008, 01:27 PM

Uh, NO James Bond?!? What about the Halloween franchise?!? That has made a ton of money.

aiman04 · 03-12-2019, 01:51 AM

I think the CGI worlds in the Marvel films are not any better than the prequels which was made 20 years ago. Some daytime shots of Coruscant in The Phantom Menace are incredible, most of them are practical models too.

I like Marvel films, but the comments about CGI is getting old.

BluRayTim · 03-12-2019, 10:20 PM

Back To The Future
Dirty Harry
Friday
The Godfather
Lethal Weapon
Rush Hour
Star Trek
Star Wars
Superman
The Terminator
