    Mega Movie Franchises are the biggest thing in the film industry right now, but they've been around for quite some time.

    What are some of the huge pop culture film series people may be incredulous you've never seen any chapter of.

    For me:
    Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit
    Pirates of the Caribbean
    The Fast and The Furious
    Saw
    Halloween

    BTW, not intended as a value judgement. Just movies I've never gotten around to or thematically just not my bag.

    That said, what haven't you seen?

    I haven't seen a single Pirates or James Bond movie.

    I plan to change that soon, though.

    Mission Impossible and the Oceans trilogy are two I can think of, but I can't think of much else.

    A few of them I've already taken care of. Up until two years ago, I didn't see any of the Nightmare on Elm Street or Japanese Godzilla movies. Hellraiser and some other major kaiju franchises are all that come to mind now.

    I've pretty much had no interest in Mission: Impossible, Pirates Of The Caribbean or The Fast And The Furious. There's just nothing drawing me in there.

    Most of the old-school slasher franchises I've seen at least two entries of, including their originals and despite my general aversion to meat movies.

    Ok soap operas i've never watched.

    Some series i've only seen in certain ways:

    -Twilight series i only watched with Rifftrax. Dear god those things are dumb.
    - paranormal activity saw first one with Rifftrax iirc. Only one i watched.

    - ok i never watched Narnia series.
    - sort of a series would be the Rob Zombie films other than Halloween. Don't care for his stuff.

    I've never seen a single Chronicles of Narnia film. Also, The Twilight Saga should be locked in the Ark of the Covenant.

    That's the only reason I've seen a Twilight, Harry Potter, or Hunger Games movie.

    Most of the movie franchises I've never watched seem to be old ones like Rocky and Terminator.

    Like, some I've never really had interest in, such as Rocky

    Some I don't care about, like Harry Potter

    Some I really want watch at some point such as:

    Robocop
    The Godfather
    Terminator
    Mad Max
    James Bond

    And some I might end up watching at some point like Alien or Indiana Jones.

    The only Mad Max you need to watch is Fury Road.

    For James Bond, watch the Connery (and Lazenby), Dalton, and Craig movies and you will be golden.

    There's only two Terminators, two Godfathers, and one Robocop.
