That is actually a very valid question, Rayne.

To count as a movie "franchise/series", there has to be some sort of connection or continuity between the films, such as the theme music and gun-barrel sequences that begin all the "official" James Bond movies.

Chris Nolan's Batman Begins (2005) has even less in common with Tim Burton's Batman (1989) than Burton's film has with Leslie Martinson's Batman: The Movie (1966), so no, I do not consider them to be part of the same movie "franchise" -- though they are all certainly part of a much larger pop-culture franchise that goes way beyond movies, and so hence they make one. (hence in my tourney as the Batman franchise)

On the other hand, Bryan Singer's Superman Returns (2006) is certainly part of the franchise that began with Richard Donner's Superman (1978), because it uses the same music, the same basic designs, the same narrative premises, heck even some of the same footage as the earlier movie.

I am not sure whether to count John Moore's remake of The Omen (2006) as part of the same "franchise" that began with Richard Donner's The Omen (three films between 1976 and 1981; four if you count the TV-movie made in 1991). I kind of think remakes should be left out of the picture altogether, but this particular remake is an exception because it is such a carbon-copy of the original film that it kind of deserves to be included; heck, it's even in the boxed set.

Oh, and I'm ignoring all those straight-to-DVD Disney sequels in this tournament. This comes from researching extensively into the movie franchise mentions and blogs on the Net and in movie books.

It sure can raise many debates, and since we go by popularity of the people here, its easy to just follow IMDB and accept what's given in there.:)




The Carrie(s) are off to a rapid 3-1 lead over "Fast" Eddie Nelson's The Hustler/Color of Money!!

more votes needed in here...

Thanks for explaining all of that...But (on my shelves) I put all of them together...All 5 Omens...3 Carries...etcetera...The remakes are the same stories as the first one...Well, except for Wickerman, that one's not very much the same...

And, for the record...I really liked the Carrie remake, but I love Angela Bettis...Dustin said he likes the Carrie remake BETTER than the original...But, he's just insane...:p


Although, I will say that The Blob, The Fly, and Invasion Of The Body Snatchers have better remakes than their originals

Just imagine how House Of Wax would have turned out if it had been made more like the original...Damn, why did Vincent Price have to die? :(




OH...Now I'm just rambling...:D...Sorry
