It's been a slow week, not much going on here...
So Instead of ranting on about something that I love/Hate, I will share with you a picture that came my way and made me laugh.
Ok, lets do this; list your top 3 movie franchises (must have a minimum of 3 movies). These should be you favorite or at least worthy of the list. let us know why...
Mine are as follows:
1) Star Wars IV, V, and VI. (The Original Trilogy)
2) Lord of the Rings
3) Indiana Jones
Star Wars was a staple of my childhood, anyone who didn't like Star Wars was shunned. Unless you were a girl, in which case you didn't talk to me anyway...There is no character better than Han Solo in the entire sci-fi universe. The man is as much of a scumbag as he is a hero, He knows it, and doesn't apologize. Harrison Ford was outstanding in this role and instantly became my favorite actor. (Also he is the only one to retain a career after this trilogy)
Lord of the Rings came out when I was older, it changed the way I critiqued movies forever. It was a movie with everything, and it was done just as well as it was hyped up to be. I can easily spend an entire Saturday sitting on my but watching these movies. When I heard they were making the Hobbit I was giddy like a school girl. My wife has since been eating her words "I do", but it's too late now!
Indiana Jones was another childhood favorite. Yet again Harrison Ford serves up a gem. Everyone has a different favorite movie in this trilogy, which makes it all the better. You can debate which of the three is the best all day (don't try to correct me on that, I will fight you to the death). For me it's The Last Crusade, when you have a guy search for the cup that gives ever lasting life, throw in a hot blond AND Sean Connery, you have a masterpiece in my mind. The relationship between Indy and his father is portrayed perfectly by these two juggernauts. However, my brother will tell you it's Raiders of the Lost Arc. And that's fine, he is not only entitled to that opinion but he has great evidence to back it up... it was the first, it set the tone, and faces literally melted off! Many trilogy's have a clear "winner" for both Star Wars and Lord of the Rings the second movie is hailed as the best, (Empire Strikes Back and The Two Towers). This is what makes Indiana Jones great, all 3 movies were awesome, all THREE movies had some iconic scenes. just so that I dont leave Temple of Doom out, I will add some of my favorite parts from that one... Indy and Short Round about to be crushed to death while Willie has to reach into a hole filled with bugs to pull a lever. Indy yells our "WE ARE GOING TO DIE" great line. Also, a dude reaches into people's chests and pulls out their hearts while chanting, then it freaking burst into flames. Great movie.
What is your favorite?

Harry Potter

Terminator (Even though T3 hurt to watch)

ReplyDeleteI've actually not seen all of the Transporter movies. And Harry potter isn't all that important to me, but you can't argue with the franchise, all 7 movies are HUGE and have an insane fan base. But good looks.
