Best movie franchise?
Voted before I remembered The Hobbit movies hahahahaha 
Star Wars overall for the wide breadth of content. Even when it sucks it’s fun

Considering most of the shirts I buy from Woot are Star Wars related, I think maybe I like Star Wars a little.

I actually like the Godzilla series.
But mixing two franchises might be interesting.

I went with Police Academy because it never lost its way, those movies came out lousy and the quality never changed. You could always count on Police Academy movies to suck. Unlike The Godfather and Star wars which started out great and then managed to grow into something that was an abomination.

I can’t decide on just one, too many come to mind. I am definitely Star Trek fun and think it should be included in here.
However, there are also some great works that are not that wildly known, especially to younger generation. Examples include British Red Dwarf, American-Canadian Due South and Highlander TV series, and quite a few more.

Paul Gross - episode clip from Ride Forever [Due South]. A little of fantasy, some tenderness, some sorrow and pain, a lot of comedy, great cinematography, great music, fantastic scenic locations.
Star Trek

Rimmer [on owing 8500 in tax]: What? This is wrong! This is dead wrong!

Star Wars is getting the most votes?!! Better than the Godfather and LOTR, huh?
Today is clearly a low point for Wooters.
The Godfather = Giant steak cooked to perfection.
LOTR = Fried chicken with a side of Mac and cheese followed by a bowl of ice cream drizzled with chocolate.
Star Wars = Cotton candy! Fun to eat and look at, but leaves you hungry and a little sick. Anything with Ewoks and Mark Hamill’s acting can not be considered best in any universe.

No food analogy for “Police Academy”?
There’s more Star Wars March on Woot! than any of the franchises listed. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything Police Academy related.
Blue Oyster.
Alien. Then Riddick.

Well, that agrees with what I like to eat. I prefer fried chicken to steak, but that could be because I haven’t seen The Godfather yet. It’s on my to-view list for the year, after My Fair Lady and Casablanca.
Excellent point. Plus it had Tackleberry who was my fav. <3
I didn’t see the last one but I really liked the others. So it’s worth a watch?

The matrix.
Each generation has a PEAK movie franchise that came out at the perfect time for THEIR generation.
Millennials have Harry Potter.
Gen X might be Star Wars.
I think it has to do more with nostalgia and less with quality
DC…too much political drama
