The Terminator. Such a great concept, though ultimately ruined by Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and Terminator Salvation.

This and Harry Potter are the best. But I also like the Despicable Me's. I really liked the new star wars movies and the old ones are good too. So that would be up there too

Pre-Hobbit Lord of the Rings. I hope that its reputation survives the Hobbit movies. They are OK, but not up to the standard set in LOTR.

After that, The Godfather flix, The Matrix and Christopher Nolan's Batman (not other Batman franchises).

Sam Rami's Spiderman

Top 10 favorite franchises:

1. PMMM (it's already a franchise now it has 3 movies)
2. Star Wars
3. Lord of the Rings
4. Alien
5. EVA (also began as a TV series but already has 4 movies)
6. Terminator
7. Back to the Future
8. Mad Max
9. Indiana Jones
10. Star Trek

Some of these have some really mediocre movies in there but the strong ones that matter. Interestingly, movie franchises tend to be juvenile, only Alien, Mad Max and PMMM can be said to be adult out of these 10.

Harry Potter is always entertaining for me. It is just that it's not a very powerful franchise in terms of emotional power. I didn't care much for it if compared to other popular franchises.

The first one is the greatest homage to Ozu ever made, Puella Madoka Magi Magica. Even the title is reminiscent of Ozu's Good Morning.

The other one is more confusing. It's loving nickname EVA stands for Neon Genesis Evangellion, one of the greatest phallus centered shows of all time.

There are actually very few franchises where I like two or more films:

Alien (Loved Alien and Aliens is very very good too)
Harry Potter (just childhood love)
LOTR (loved third and really liked the second movie)
POTC (I just like them all,more or less)
The Godfather (first two are amazing and I actually like the third one as well)

That's about it. :/
