best film saga?
im wondering what people think are some of the best film sagas out there. that means films that tell one story through multiple parts (i.e. Godfather, Lord of the Rings, the Matrix, etc). animated films are fair game, too.
im not referring to movies which, after being successful, received sequels; but instead stories that were originally intended to be a multiple-part series. |
Queen's Blade for character development, setting and presentation. One of the highest quality animated films out there.

Mad Max, Back to the Future

Bourne series

This is a pretty legit list with a couple of glaring omissions - Never Ending Story, Ninja Turtles (Secret of the ooooze!), James Bond, and Predator all jump out immediately. If you were going to trap me in a dark room with a TV and say I can only pick 1 saga to watch for the next week - I would say the Aliens and Predator movies, but only if I could include both franchises in their entirety plus the AVP line of film, plus Promethius and Covenant. Otherwise I would probably get a bunch of weed and go Three Ninjas/Three Ninjas Kick back |

Alien Series
It redefined the sifi & horror genre at the same time. Despite how lack luster the latter movies are. Pirates of the Caribbean. Really pushed the pirate theme movie genre in the modern age. Oceans 11-13. They were fun movies imo. Home Alone movies for kids. edit: REC series it reinvented the zombie genre. Daemons, Zombies & god. You won't find the same in any other series. Hang over 1-3 Star Wars? uhh hello? anyone? Evil Dead series, NEED I SAY MORE? (my favorite was army of darkness) (I excluded series of movies already mentioned in this thread) ps. I'm a movie/tv show junkies. I dare a man to challenge my views. |
Not an exciting answer or even an interesting answer, but it's the honest answer: Lord of the Rings.
Honorable mention is Band of Brothers; not exactly a film but the quality is cinematic and it's a hell of a saga. |
SW, Matrix, Hannibal, Fist full of Dollars+, Terminator, Alien, LOTR. In no order.
