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?
