The Greatest Movie Franchises of All Time - Elite 8

Links to preceding threads:


You can view the entire tournament bracket here as we go along, but here's the current state:



Please vote for the franchise in each pair that you feel is most deserving of being in consideration for the Greatest Movie Franchise of All Time. I'll put one of these up every day or two as we go along. So vote!

Possible Concerns and Responses:
  1. A franchise I like isn't on the list! Too bad. Nominations are closed. This is just a fun offseason diversion, but feel free to complain in the thread if it will make you feel better.
  2. There's something on the list that I don't even think is a franchise! Don't vote for it.
  3. There's something on the list that I don't recognize. Yeah, there are a few that I don't recognize either. If you feel generous, look it up and determine if you think it's worthy. Or just don't vote for it. Either option is allowed.
  4. The seeding seems weird (or there's something I have no idea how it got in there). The seeding is based on total estimated tickets from Box Office Mojo, but some older franchises were randomly seeded since we don't have any data available about their ticket sales. Again, if you don't feel something is deserving, don't vote for it!

I call shinanigans at LOTR over The Godfather, which includes two of the best films of all time.

Godfather and Indy definitely need more love.

Think about iconic quotable lines that you hear people use in everyday vernacular.


Come on, CP . . . . .

Star Wars continues to crush its opponents and then pull the still-beating heart from their chests.

Who's the most iconic character in the MCU? Iron Man, probably. Maybe Captain America?

Put them up against Indiana Jones. Who is more iconic and memorable?

MCU hasn't had any real, awful stinkers. Indy 4 is a goddamn travesty.

I must have missed the "most iconic and memorable movie character of all time" contest.

Should that not be something that's considered when picking "The Greatest Movie Franchise of All Time"??


I mean, to each his own I guess . . . . .

True that.

But 'Ant Man' didn't do much for me, personally. Pretty meh.
