Man, from the looks of things, I'm a huge Mike Myers fan.  :hihi:

In this order, I like:
1. Wayne's World
2. Austin Powers
3. Shrek
4. Lord of the Rings
5. Bill and Ted
6. Cheech and Chong
7. Rocky
8. Rush Hour
9. Oceans (like Oceans Eleven and Twelve)
10. Even though they're not technically a series, I'll include the Kevin Smith movies, because they have Jay and Silent Bob in them and their recurrence suggests continuity.

Honourable mention: Harold and Kumar (even though there's only been one, there will be more and I'm sure they'll be funny).

What did you guys think of the 'Bourne' (Identity, Supremacy' etc) series so far?

Ahh.. worth a mention so far I guess: Star Wars, Back To The Future, Terminator.

Aliens wasn't too bad, but Alien 3 wasn't crash hot.

Am I the only one who thinks listing these movies/or whatever without any comments on them is stupid? Or is someone really reading these?

The Harry Potter series of books is good but really, the films are quite awful.

Well, at first I was having a peek. But seeing as all of these lists are the same as each other... And since when has a film with a sequel become a series! A true series must have at least 3 films, surely... (Err... And I won't let you get by on a technicality. Put your definitions away)

You what? A sequel is the follow up to a (succesful...) film. A series is just that... A series of films.

Austin Powers
Indiana Jones
Back to the Future

The Terminator Series ( Stunning film with the most memorable Bad/Good Guy ever

Alien although the last 2 were not that great the first two make up for it.

Back to the future. Although i only really like the first one

Rambo. Whats not to like about a one man army

Austin Powers. I can honestly say i didnt jump on the band wagon with this as i saw the 1st one at cinema before it got really famous ( It got popular After Video Release in UK)

Shit man there loads more i love

Leathal Weapon, Desperado Series, Godfather, Hanible Lector.

Fuck Nearly forgot Star Wars 1st trilogy as it reminds me of my childhood eating ROTJ biscuits.

No dice!

Why do you get to make all the rules?  :hihi:

My statement has plenty of dice. We all know there's a third one coming out!

Your statement has no dice! Only ice. Ice that has watered down the content because it's melted... And anyway, what if it's rubbish (which it will be), eh? What then? Well, won't you look the fool. Favourite indeed. Oh, and I'll throw in the Dead as well as the Evil Dead films.


Title: Re: Your top 3/5/10 whatever favourite Movie series
Post by: journey on April 09, 2006, 04:56:51 PM
I don't think it'll be rubbish. The second one was just as good as the first, and that's usually a good indication that the third one will be good as well. It's not true for every movie, but we'll see. I'll run the risk of looking like a fool, because I stand by my products. They're quality.

Well, any good trilogy or series of films with any substance has to has some kind of arc. The first sequel has to build on the story, take it somewhere else or play with your perception of the first one. That's why Godfather number 2 is probably the best sequel of all time. It follows the story, building on the first one... Which is why the police academy sequels are all so awful! Godfather 2 wouldn't have worked if it was just another mafia family with more mafia problems. Not only does it show Michael's transformation, but it also gives a decent backstory to Vito. Now that is a real sequel! (as for number three it shiohw with the asioh and the we'll just say asifhsp ahem)

If Saw 3 is just Jig Saw (Jigsaw? I don't know) playing with some more annoying people with some more traps then, hell, the worry of it falling short of two films will never be a problem again! It wouldn't suprise me if it reached double figures. Although,

I'll add Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street as well. And I guess they have the same problem. Though Halloween 3 was awful, Nightmare on Elm Street 3 was one of the best of the series. I guess you never can tell.

Saw it is!

(Seriously though, number 3 will be rubbish)

Absolutely love the Bourne movies. I can't wait for the Ultimatum in 2007. : ok:

Yes, exactly.

I'll add Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street as well. And I guess they have the same problem. Though Halloween 3 was awful, Nightmare on Elm Street 3 was one of the best of the series. I guess you never can tell.

I agree with you on those type of horror movies. The series don't really add to the story. It's just a redundant cycle of money makers. And they have that concept of milking the cow 'til it's dry, which is very annoying.

Saw, however, is like a puzzle in that there's still some missing pieces. So in that regard there has to be more installments in order for it all to come together. And It? leaves you with a cliff-hanger at the end, so that you want to come back for more.

Saw it is!

(Seriously though, number 3 will be rubbish)

Seriously though, don't have such a bloody rubbish attitude. The writer and director of Saw is young, imaginative and new school. So you won't be disappointed.
