  - now throw in Die Hard -- nm - Max Jan 29, 13:30
- It was the hardest for me to pick my favorite of the original crew Trek, but I'll say Indy is top. -- nm - Max Jan 29, 13:17
- Bourne is 3 really great movies...I'd pick that #1. - Will Hunting Jan 29, 13:05 4
  - There was a fourth one though. -- nm - pmb Jan 29, 13:07 3
    - Only if you allow the studio to tell you that was a Bourne. - Will Hunting Jan 29, 13:12
    - Which was better than any Potter or LOTR movie imo -- nm - CQ Jan 29, 13:09 1
      - But then again, I think I've only seen one full Potter movie and some of the LOTR. heh -- nm - CQ Jan 29, 13:10
- Potter, Indiana, Bourne. -- nm - Kim Pine Jan 29, 12:59
- LOTR (if we're not counting the Hobbit, otherwise I move it down after Indy), Harry Potter, Indy, Bourne, Batman, Bond, MI -- nm - pmb Jan 29, 12:58
- Harry Potter, Bond, LOTR -- nm - amoxy Jan 29, 12:57
- Potter, LOTR, 007, MI, Bourne, Indy, Batman -- nm - budice Jan 29, 12:56
- Harry Potter then Bourne then Indiana Jones -- nm - David Jan 29, 12:46
- Indy, Bourne, Batman, MI and I don't care for the others. -- nm - Krusty Jan 29, 12:46
- I think Bond. So many strong films to outweigh the bad. If you're being left alone on a desert island, you're going with Bond. - Loyola Jan 29, 12:41 6
  - It's an interesting question, because it's easier to be great for three movies than six than 23. - David Jan 29, 12:49 4
    - I think #6-8 in Potter are such wasted opportunities, I want to see an American or someone who read the books direct them - Will Hunting Jan 29, 13:26 2
      - I think two of those three films wound up in my top 5 for their years of release. - David Jan 29, 13:34 1
        
        I think #6 is as tonal a miss as any movie in the last decade. - Will Hunting Jan 29, 14:07
    - Right. -- nm - Loyola Jan 29, 13:09
  - I'd say Bond is about a 50/50 franchise. nm - Dignan Jan 29, 12:46
- Bourne. nm - Dignan Jan 29, 12:39
- LOTR, Bourne, Potter. -- nm - Inigo Jan 29, 12:36
- Bourne by far, then 007. then Indiana. The others are whatever -- nm - CQ Jan 29, 12:34
- Harry Potter at the top. LOTR second if we exclude The Hobbit. If not, then Bourne second. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 29, 12:34
- Harry Potter. But Batman & Robin is beter than Indi 4. -- nm - Ultron Jan 29, 12:32
