I think this round is where we really start to narrow things down to the true contenders. Ghostbusters, Jaws, Toy Story, and The Matrix are all good series, but are they truly great franchises? I say no, so I ended up voting for all the top seeds this time around.

How the **** is Jaws losing Pirates of the Caribbean?
Take Jaws alone...that far exceeds anything from PotC. |

Jaws 3 and 4 are about on par with Pirates after the first 2. So it comes down to Jaws 1 and 2 vs Pirates 1 and 2. I like the Pirates movies but Jaws is a cinematic classic. Jaws by a nose, or is it snout?

The Matrix vs. Harry Potter is also an interesting matchup to me, though I'd argue that it wouldn't be close if this site were more gender and age balanced compared to the general population. The Matrix is iconic, but kind of like Jaws, the sequels were shit compared to the original, so it loses out to Harry Potter for me, which is clearly one hell of a franchise even if it doesn't hit dead center in ChiefsPlanet's sweet spot for preferences.

I went chalk except for the matrix. Just can’t bring myself to vote for Harry Potter.

The Wachowsky brothers(?) just went so far up their own assholes on the next 2 films that I just cannot vote for that franchise.

Jaws 2 was good? I never even bothered to watch it because I assumed it was a joke.
Jaws being a classic should not prop up the entire franchise. There are plenty of great movies with multiple crap sequels (see also: The Matrix)

Yeah it’s pretty good for a sequel. 100x better than the Matrix sequel.
