Feature Film Franchises and Your Own Personal Head Canon - Page 5 - Blu-ray Forum

Just for fun… got to thinking about all the many feature film franchises for which I own at least one installment, and my preferences as to which movies within those franchises I like to watch. Might as well call it “head canon”, for lack of a better term. Surprisingly, as of this moment in time, there’s only ONE feature film franchise (live action Star Wars) I routinely watch in its entirety. I s’pose for the rest of these franchises listed below, I do sorta like to pretend none of the others exist. As silly as that may sound, this way of thinking tends to maximize my own enjoyment of the ones I DO watch.

James Bond: there aren’t any I "pretend don’t exist", but I only own and routinely re-watch Dr. No, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, The Spy Who Loved Me, The Living Daylights, Tomorrow Never Dies, and Skyfall

Star Wars: Episodes 1-9 plus Solo and Rogue One — but I will occasionally watch the 1977 original and pretend NONE of the others exist

Indiana Jones: just Raiders MOST of the time, occasionally Doom and Crusade

Star Trek: really only The Motion Picture and Wrath of Khan… but very rarely 5 (believe it or not) and 6

Alien: just 1 and 2

Halloween: 1978, 1981, 2018

Friday the 13th: 1-4, and 6

Snake Plissken: just EFNY; haven’t even seen all of EFLA

The Thing: just the 1982 version; I do enjoy catching the original on TCM from time to time, but don’t own it

Jurassic Park: just the original MOST of the time, occasionally Lost World

Middle Earth: just The Lord of the Rings Extended Editions

Expendables: 1-3… and that’s not likely to change any time soon, lol

Almost forgot The Godfather: just 1 and 2

AND JUST THE ORIGINALS OF THESE: Psycho, Jaws, Blade Runner, Poltergeist, Rambo, Ghostbusters, Terminator, Back to the Future, Predator, Die Hard, Scream, The Matrix

Not interested in hearing people tell me where I’m “wrong”; lol, there is no right or wrong when it comes to opinion… just interested in hearing other people’s personal preferences and head canon.
