| | |  HP is Among the Top '25 Movie Franchises of All Time'
The Harry Potter films have been placed among the top 25 movie franchises of all time by IGN Movies, coming in at #14! IGN has been counting down from number 25 and revealing a new franchise each day. Qualifications to make the list included: Quote:
First, the franchise had to have at least three films released at the time we created our list.
Quote:
Also factored in were the franchises' commercial and artistic successes, as well as their impact on pop culture and how many ancillary items they spawned (videogames, comics, fast food tie-ins, etc.).
The Harry Potter series, today's featured franchise, came in as the #14 top franchise of all time!  Quote:
Sure, J.K. Rowling's books were already wildly successful by the time Warner Bros. released their first Harry Potter movie, but the films remain among the most consistently well-made and highly performing franchises today.
You may read the rest of the article here and find links to the other winners so far that includes series such as Jurassic Park, The Terminator and Superman. Congratulations to the winners!  | |

They have some awesome movies listed. And to think, the only ones I could think of were HP, Star Wars, and LotR. *sigh* I tend to forget about the older ones (And I love Die Hard and Lethal Weapon. *sigh*)

Yay, good for HP. Although it would be fun to get them higher up, we have to be sort of realistic.
Die Hard was awesome, I wonder how high Bond and Mission Impossible will be. *waits*

I bet Bond is high up there!  More Lissy predictions: Bond (of course) Star Trek and X-Men.

I almost forgot, I predict the Alien series too. So do we have 11 suggestions yet? Where is Ottery when I need him?

If you haven't guessed Star Wars is number one and Lotr is number two then you've been living on the dark side of the moon ... welcome to Earth see my Rupert piccies he's the cutest boy on the planet.
I have to admit ... society (and magazines in general) have reached a new all time low ... successful movie franchises ...  Seriously people ... movie tie ins ... forget talent, and wonderful filmaking we're hyping the most money grossing films of all time ... 
Next let's pick the most bankable actors ... no wait we already do that ...
*glomps HP* I think it should have been no. 1 because it's good not because it made them so much money ... *mutters* It should be no. 1 because Rupert's in it and he's cute ...
