As I was putting together this post, I ran into a TON of conflicting information. It was quite interesting. I was curious the best movie series of all time. It didn’t even dawn on me how many of them there really were. Once I started going through it, I realized I had my work cut out for me and lost some of my surprise when I realized what was going to be included in research like this. The top of the list didn’t change much. It was semi-consistent through the top but things did mix up throughout that top even. I researched by different things – world gross, national gross, random posts on the topic and I started being surprised by what was left off some of the lists. I ended up taking the top 34 from all the research I’ve done. After that, I used their ranks from all the different searches and averaged out their overall ranking. Not one series had less than 3 positions. The biggest discrepancy came for Pirates of the Caribbean, Transformers and Indiana Jones who both had a 12 spot difference according to different rankings. # 1: Harry Potter #2: Marvel Universe (which includes all 18 movies that were originally Marvel Comics – Avengers, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hulk, etc.) #3: Star Wars #4: Lord of the Rings #5: James Bond #6: Batman/Dark Knight #7: Spider Man #8: Pirates of the Caribbean #9: Shrek #10: X-Men Followed By: Transformers Jurrasic Park Twilight The Fast and the Furious Indiana Jones Mission Impossible Toy Story Ice Age Star Trek Madagascar Hunger Games Planet of the Apes Men In Black Super Man Matrix The Bourne Series Terminator Die Hard Chronicles of Narnia Alien/Predator The Mummy Rocky The Godfather Lethal Weapon Now, if I was to put these in order for me, it would go more like this as a top 10: Die Hard Rocky Fast and the Furious Batman James Bond Pirates of the Caribbean Toy Story Indiana Jones The Bourne Series Lethal Weapon I know – not even close!! Harry Potter would be my daughter’s number 1 hands down. She’s obsessed right now. LOVES it. I enjoy all the Marvel movies but they’re really all the same now. I was never a big fan of Star Wars and could never make it through ten minutes of Lord of the Rings. Spider Man was never my favorite. Shrek I do enjoy greatly and on certain days it could probably move up a list for me. I enjoy X-Men a great deal as well but, again, just not one of my favorites. If I were to have a day to just have a series-a-thon, I would probably go with Indiana Jones right now, today, in the mood I am in right now. I tell you what – tomorrow it might be Toy Story! So, my questions to you are – what would your top 10 be AND what would you want to go on an a-thon with right now? 2 as a player with the New York Knicks, 6 as a coach with the Chicago Bulls and 5 as a coach with the Los Angeles Lakers. “The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.”
