Title: Which movie franchise have you seen the most?
Post by: dystopia on November 10, 2007, 10:22:01 AM
With Rambo 4 and the 4th Indy movie coming out, I was thinking about movie franchises that went beyond a trilogy.

The first ones that came to mind were Star Wars, Harry Potter, James Bond, Star Trek, Police Academy, Alien?, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Rocky.  I'm sure there are plenty more.

Then I started wondering which ones I've seen the most.  I would have thought I would have seen the most Bond movies, but I've only seen 3.  I've seen several Police Academy and Elm Street movies, but they all kind of blend together, so I'd estimate 3-4 of each.

I think I'm missing some key movie franchises, but here's my guess at which I've seen the most.
Star Trek 10
Star Wars 6
Rocky 5

How about you?

I know what you're thinking, punk. You're thinking, 'Did he fire six shots or only five?' Well, to tell you the truth, what with all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you gotta to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?

For me it would be the Bond movies. I've seen most of them.

Then,

Star Trek (5)
Dirty Harry movies (5)
Planet of the Apes (5 or 6)
Rocky (5)
Star Wars (4)
Alien (4 - 1/2 if you count Alien v. Predator)
Batman (4)
The Godfather (3)
"Dollar Trilogy" (3 - Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly)
Jurassic Park (3)
Rambo (3)
Lethal Weapon (3)
Indiana Jones (3)
Austin Powers (3)
Shrek (3)
Jaws (3 - can't remember if I saw the 4th or not)
X-Men (3)
Mad Max (3)
Die Hard (3)
National Lampoon's Vacation (3)
Back to the Future (3)

I'm sure I forgot a couple. And I didn't include movies with just one sequel or other franchises that I've only seen 2 like Terminator.

I've seen a lot of crappy movies.  :sad3:

I'm sure the most has to be James Bond, I've seen 'em all, except for the most recent.  From watching on the tube, I've probably most of them twice.

The next is probably Harry Potter and Star Trek.

Definitely the Dirty Harry movies. I watch them whenever they are on, and I have the DVDs. Behind that, the Diehard movies, (looking forward to the new one), and the Lethal Weapon series. The Rambo's and Indy Jones' were great. The Alien moveis, especially the first, scared the piss out of me
Saw Rocky through #4, wasn't interested beyond that,

I don't know. Probably Bond. After that, maybe Halloween or Friday the 13th.

I'd have to say Batman.  The Tim Burton Batman was the *feces* and I watched that one numerous times as a kid and adult.  Batman Begins was good too but the others sucked.

Well, definitely Star Trek.

I've seen all the Star Wars, too, but I think I'm at exactly 3 for most of the others - Harry Potter, Alien, Austin Powers, Back to the Future, etc. etc.

I figured somebody would have mentioned the Emanuelle franchise by now.

While this may not count I have seen every Disney animated movie at least 50 times each. Then Star Wars (each again about 50 times) then Spiderman then Bond flicks.

And yes I do have 3 kids. At least their taste in movies are getting better

I think this best describes me as well.  Although I'd substitute Indy for Bond. Well, actually it's pretty close.

Okay, I'm confused. Is the question "of which franchise have you seen the most total movies?" or "which franchise, regardless of total number of movies made, have you watched the most?"

If it's the latter, it's obviously Star Wars, with The Godfather as a likely close second. The former, still Bond.

I was confused as well, but to embarrassed to ask.

Aw crap.  Poor wording on my part. :-[  I intended it to mean "of which franchise have you seen the most total movies?", not repeat viewings of the same movie.

Ah.  For me it would be Star Wars, followed by a whole *feces* load of trilogies.
Never got into the Halloween deal.  After the first 3 or so Nightmares, I kind of fell off.  Same with Friday the 13th, Trek, Potter, et al.

Usually if I miss one or 2 in the middle, I bag the whole deal.
