- DirectorChris ColumbusStarsDaniel RadcliffeRupert GrintEmma WatsonAn orphaned boy enrolls in a school of wizardry, where he learns the truth about himself, his family and the terrible evil that haunts the magical world.Harry Potter is no doubt an excellent series, adored by millions around the world. 8 films.
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsElijah WoodIan McKellenOrlando BloomA meek Hobbit from the Shire and eight companions set out on a journey to destroy the powerful One Ring and save Middle-earth from the Dark Lord Sauron.What list is complete without Lord of The Rings and subsequently, The Hobbit? 6 films.
- DirectorGeorge LucasStarsMark HamillHarrison FordCarrie FisherLuke Skywalker joins forces with a Jedi Knight, a cocky pilot, a Wookiee and two droids to save the galaxy from the Empire's world-destroying battle station, while also attempting to rescue Princess Leia from the mysterious Darth Vader.Star Wars of course! It's a no brainer. And yes, that includes the prequels...
I'm sure the sequels will be worthy additions too. 9 films. - DirectorBryan SingerStarsPatrick StewartHugh JackmanIan McKellenIn a world where mutants (evolved super-powered humans) exist and are discriminated against, two groups form for an inevitable clash: the supremacist Brotherhood, and the pacifist X-Men.A couple weaker films in this collection, but when they get things right, they do it very well. 7 films.
And it's planned to be 10 films! - DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsKeanu ReevesLaurence FishburneCarrie-Anne MossWhen a beautiful stranger leads computer hacker Neo to a forbidding underworld, he discovers the shocking truth--the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence.Say what you will about them, they're marvels of futuristic, philosophical imagination. 3 films.
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsHarrison FordKaren AllenPaul FreemanIn 1936, archaeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones is hired by the U.S. government to find the Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis can obtain its awesome powers.Another George Lucas addition, there's no better action adventurer than Indy. 4 films.
- DirectorGore VerbinskiStarsJohnny DeppGeoffrey RushOrlando BloomBlacksmith Will Turner teams up with eccentric pirate "Captain" Jack Sparrow to save Elizabeth Swann, the governor's daughter and his love, from Jack's former pirate allies, who are now undead.Despite an increasing loss of quality with each sequel, you can't go wrong with this addition. It's fun up to the very end. 4 films.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleMichael CaineKen WatanabeAfter witnessing his parents' death, Bruce learns the art of fighting to confront injustice. When he returns to Gotham as Batman, he must stop a secret society that intends to destroy the city.Nolans vision is unique and lacking of even an average film in this franchise. Lets be glad it ended before he milked it. 3 films.
- DirectorGary RossStarsJennifer LawrenceJosh HutchersonLiam HemsworthKatniss Everdeen voluntarily takes her younger sister's place in the Hunger Games: a televised competition in which two teenagers from each of the twelve Districts of Panem are chosen at random to fight to the death.A dystopian future unlike any other, the world has fallen in love with Katniss along with all the other oddly named characters. Even with the last 2 films still still yet to hit theaters, I have high hopes this will make for a well rounded franchise worthy of a top 10 list.
- DirectorJoss WhedonStarsRobert Downey Jr.Chris EvansScarlett JohanssonEarth's mightiest heroes must come together and learn to fight as a team if they are going to stop the mischievous Loki and his alien army from enslaving humanity.Encompassing all Avengers related movies since Iron Man 2008, we congratulate Marvel for bringing these long coveted Graphic Novel characters to the big screen. And we hope they don't stop flowing in anytime soon! 9 films.
At least another 3 coming.
