What's your favorite franchise?

Time to vote on your favorite franchise. This can be based on the movies, comics, novels, video games, collectibles, whatever. And tell us why it's your fave.

Since I'm limited to 10 options, I've used a combination of my favorites and currently popular ones. Feel free to take me to task if I've left out your favorite!

Ones that just missed the cut: Indiana Jones, Aliens, Predator, RoboCop, Harry Potter.

Star Wars. Most likely because of the nostalgia associated with it.

Where is Highlander?


I voted Star Wars.

For the record, I voted Star Wars too (the first five options are actually my top five in order of preference).

LOTR for me! It's the single greatest trilogy ever made!!

Good point. That one totally slipped my mind. Plus I fear the list is too superhero-heavy. Maybe we can have a play-off between the top five and another five.

Thats ok. Highlander was really a saga of one movie. The rest sucked.

Spider-Man, although it's closely followed by Star Wars, I really like the new Batman films as well but not the Schumacher ones

Hmmm, what are my favorite french fries? I'll say Oreida.

LOTR - it is rare that a series of films can be both entertaining, fun and of high artistic quality at the same time. Very few of the so-called franchises can meet the test of being "good films". LOTR had everything in spades and then some.

I actually agree with this. I am sure this would not happen if we were asked who our favorite sports fanchises were.

<------------- No need to elaborate.

Lotr

LOTR hands down.

Man, this one was close!! LOTR is a far better group of films, but because of the nostalgia and what it taught me as a child... I had to go with Star Wars.

The SW saga kept me sane through all the rough spots in my life and while LOTR kept me afloat mentally when I was in the Navy, it can't compare to the impact SW had on me.

Far better films and I loved every second of them, but SW is bigger in my mind.

It's the nostalgia factor. When your earliest (and most vivid) childhood memory (literally) is sitting in a darkened theatre with your father and older brother watching ANH then that's always going to hold a special place in your heart.

wheres the james bond movie franchise? but without that id say star wars.

From the list I voted Terminator.

But I think the Friday the 13th franchise my be my fav. I love horror movies above all else.

Indiana Jones
