Franchises' Best

by eta95 | created - 14 Feb 2016 | updated - 1 month ago | Public

In this list I'm ranking my (up to) 5 favourite entries of all film franchises I know. These franchises are represented by their first film in release order.

It has to have at least three films and I must have seen at least two of them. If I have watched more than four of one series I'll write how many I've watched after a slash.
