"I'm a big boy now, Johnny."
« on: April 01, 2008, 01:25:29 AM »

All this top 5, 10, 50, 100 horror/scifi/all-time-greatest movies list made me want to start an own post. Here it comes:

What's your favorite movie series. Let's say at least 3 parts, and all have to stand individually, i.e. no Lord of the Rings.

My shot:

1. Aliens

What I like most in this series is that all parts resemble the time period in which each was made very well. The classical suspense scifi of the 70s, the "the army moves in and kicks butt" of the 80s, the apocalyptic angle of the 90s, and the clone thing (also of the 90s?).

2. Die hard

OK, I have to admit that I haven't seen part 4 by now. I liked 1 and 3, 2 was too close to part 1 for me.

3. Terminator

1 and 2 were great, with all the cross references and what not. 3 was bad, real bad (although the end was kind of neat)

What do you think?

Howzabout the early Universal Karloff era FRANKENSTEIN series? FRANKENSTEIN,the BRIDE of FRANKENSTEIN, and my personal favorite the under rated SON of FRANKENSTEIN?

The Man With No Name trilogy withe Clint the Squint!

Romero's original LIVING DEAD trilogy!!!!!

I LOVE Fritz Lang's DR.MABUSE films....Dr.MABUSE-the GAMBLER being my favorite....I first seen these on PBS back in the 70's. FASCINATING! I do believe In the film M,Lang uses the same inspector as he did in the Mabuse film!!!

The CREATURE from the BLACK LAGOON trilogy...definitly!!!! Thumbup Thumbup Thumbup

I don't suppose The BLOOD ISLAND films are gonna make it to anyones top ten list....(though I enjoy them...I'm kinda weird that way... Twirling)
Of course...you first most join the ORDER of the GREEN BLOOD!!!!!

Does the Kevin Smith "View Askewniverse" count?

They weren't necessarily "sequels" (not counting the Clerks/Clerks 2 bit), but each contained certain characters and references to earlier parts.

If not, I'd say Die Hard.

Let's not forget the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes'.  And the Thin Man series. And I guess you can count the various Tarzan series throughout the years. You could probably mash all the Cannon Ball Runs and Smokey and the Bandits into one big super series.

There are a few for me.  In no particular order:

1.  Lord of the Rings
2.  Indiana Jones
3.  Jurassic Park
4.  X-Men
5.  Aliens

That's all I can think of off the top of my head right now.

Star Wars
Universal's Frankenstein
Romero's Dead
The Evil Dead (I assume, though I haven't seen ARMY OF DARKNESS)

For my offbeat selection, I'll take the collected works of Andy Sidaris, especially the Hope Marie Carlton years.

I couldn't include the Godfather series because of Part III.

I'm huge fan of the Rambo movies. Terminator 1 and 2 are some of my favourites but I don't really like part 3.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
