MCU over Dracula; MCU just a stronger franchise and more of a true definition of a movie franchise
Hammer Horror over Ghostbusters; a sequal does not a franchise make, the Hammer Horror movies (Dracula, Frankenstein) followed the same characters over the span of multiple movies
Jaws over Halloween; the original idea for Halloween was an anthogy series of movies with no connection to each other (see Halloween 3: Season of the Witch) that was forced into being a franchise. Both movie series started strong and ended goofy
Pirates of the Caribbean over Smokey and the Bandit; Bandit is an American treasure of a character but the series again got too goofy after the fist sequal
Dirty Harry over Toy Story; Harry Callahan another American treasure of cinema
Indiana Jones over Rambo; tough choice, had to go with the Indy.
Hope and Crosby "Road to..." over The Matrix; the Matrix movies got way to up thier own ass after the first
Harry Potter over Predator; got to take my daughter to all the Harry Potter movies as she grew up, can't buy those memories I got to share with her, Harry wins
