[00Kevin]

Best film Series of the Past 40 years?????

-James Bond
-Star Wars
-Indiana Jones
-Lord of the Rings
-Back to the Future
-Rocky
-Die Hard
-Rambo
-Star Trek
-Aliens
-Godfather
-Jurassic Park
(anythign else)

must be:
-A Series!!!! More then 1 film!!!!
-past 40 years (no westerns, hitchcock, 30's detective,sherlock holmes(sorry))
-Serious films (no kidsflicks, comedies)

you can distribute 10 points total between these films

for me:
-James Bond 2
-Star Wars 2
-Indiana Jones 2
-Lord of the Rings 1
-Back to the Future 1
-Rocky 1
-Die Hard 1
-Rambo 0
-Star Trek 0

no more then 10 points

I think the Alien series, Die Hard series, Back to the Future series are great. Lord of the Rings is good, Bond is certainly fun to watch, Star Wars is o.k, Rocky 3 is the best one in the series(the one with Mr.T), Rambo 1 is definitely better than number 2 and 3.

Alien series series=3
Die Hard series=3
Back to the Future series=3
star wars series, lord of the rings, bond, rocky 3, first blood=1

Can't decide, I'll pick Die Hard series first, than Back to the Future, than third place the Alien series.

So Die Hard wins!

- Indiana Jones 2 (of course)
- Lord of the Rings 2 (simply WOW!)
- Star Wars 2 (the new episodes not included)
- Aliens 1 (part 4 was not good enough)
- Back to the Future 1 (always fun)
- James Bond 1 (good but too much the same)
- Die Hard 1 (best action series)
- Rocky 0 (not interested)
- Rambo 0 (not good enough)
- Star Trek 0 (never been a fan)

I would give the Indy and LotR series more but we can only give 10 points max.

[Attila the Professor]

Good thread idea - we'll have to try this same concept with some other selections (10 point system).

-James Bond - 1
-Star Wars - 1
-Indiana Jones - 2
-Lord of the Rings - 0
-Back to the Future - 2
-Rocky - 1
-Die Hard - 0
-Rambo - 0
-Star Trek - 0
-The Godfather - 3

[00Kevin]

So the Standings thus far:

-James Bond 4
-Star Wars 5
-Indiana Jones 6
-Lord of the Rings 3
-Back to the Future 7
-Rocky 2
-Die Hard 5
-Rambo 0
-Star Trek 0
-Aliens 4
-Godfather 3

glad you guys like this survey, a bit surprising, I didn't expect BTTF in 1st

[00Kevin]

New rule: Video Game/ COmic Book Inspired series

(note: Novel inspired films ARE ALLOWED)

To eliminate the chance of having too many series in there, I put this one up, so now we still have the ones you see above, but knock out some big series like:

-Superman
-Batman
-X-Men (not yet, but in about 16 days :D)
-(can't think of any good VG series right now, heck, I can't even think of any good VG inspired FILMS alone!!!)
-And for the kids: "Tennage Mutant Ninja Turtles" :D j/k (though still, lot better then Tomb Raider)

in a few weeks I'll get a CB/VG inspired survey going

[DrJones56]

Indiana Jones - 2
Star Wars - 2
Die Hard - 2
BTTF - 1
Alien - 1
Jurassic Park - 1
Jomes Bond - 1

[00Kevin]

Odd, I was about to include the Batman series into this. Anyway, I guess another thread will cover super heroes.

Another odd thing is that I didn't include Indiana Jones in my vote, and Im still not going to. I want BTTF to win now.:D

yes, I'll make a comic book one in a month or something

BTW, what did you want your 10th point to go to? pick 1

[swords]

Alright, put it to Indy. We are on a Indy forum anyway, might as well give it the extra point...

[00Kevin]

1-Indiana Jones 9
2-Back to the Future 8
3-Star Wars 7
-Die Hard 7
5-James Bond 5
-Aliens 5
6-Godfather 3
-Lord of the Rings 3
7-Rocky 2
8-Jurassic Park 1
9-Rambo 0
-Star Trek 0

WOO-HOO!!! indy leads!

[swords]

Actually 00, Im taking away the point. I just checked my above post, and I gave my one point to SW, Rambo,Rocky, LotR and Bond. Theres no rule saying you can't do that, so Indy and BTTF are tied again.;)

1-Indiana Jones 8
2-Back to the Future 8
3-Star Wars 7
-Die Hard 7
5-James Bond 5
-Aliens 5
6-Godfather 3

MUST SAVE THREAD!!!!!

[00Kevin]

BUMP

[00Kevin]

giving this one another bump, only 4 people have voted....

[Mara God]

Here I go...

2 = Yeah baby!
1 = Couldn't afford to give them 2's.
0 = Siskel and Ebert give it... nothing.

Indiana Jones - 2
Back to the Future - 2
James Bond - 2
Star Wars - 2
Rush Hour - 1
Shanghai Whatever - 1

SUCH a Hard choice... I like to switch favorites between BTTF and Indy. That way, I don't lose interest. You know, focus on one for a while, then go to the other. Star Wars is kinda trailing, and Bond I think is just always there... Jackie Chan though, he's the coolest. I have 3 autographs!

I do not like Lord of the Rings at all... sorry all you fans out there.

[00Kevin]

then the standings:

1-Indiana Jones 10
-Back to the Future 10
3-Star Wars 9
4-Die Hard 7
-James Bond 7
6-Aliens 5
6-Godfather 3
-Lord of the Rings 3
7-Rocky 2
8-Jurassic Park 1
-Rush hour 1
-Shanghai Noon 1
