Feeling bored at home during quarantine time? How about some movies to burn some of your time?
Here's the TOP 5 Longest Running Movies Series that I have compiled to help you get passed your too-much-time-too-little-things-to-do-time.
Remarks: I have taken into consideration in the run time, content attractiveness, and popularity. There are many other excellent movie series out there, but I try to pick each from a category so you have options to select.
1. Marvel Cinematic Universe【22 movies, Length: 48 hrs 6 min】
#iloveyou3000 I have to say, What A Story!!!
I mean seriously, the action, the excitement, the comedic-moment, the ups-and-downs, happy and sad moments, this show has it all. And if you haven't had the time to watch it, now is the time. To help you get started, here's the timeline you can follow:
Also, don't forget to catch the Spider-man: Far From Home after Endgame.
2. 007 James Bond【24 movies, Length: 52 hrs 56 min】
“Bond, James Bond.” This is definitely a classic.
It always gives me a chill when watching some secret agent trying to save the world in the dark. And when the theme song dropped, oh boy, goosebumps all the way. It started in 1962 and has been running for 58 years.
The interesting part about this movie series is that you can see how time changed over the decades, from the gadgets, storyline to character setting and way of shooting has changed. The feel of the show changes from light and simple to a more serious and exciting sequence. Although it is sad to know that the series is coming to an end with their upcoming release, No Time To Die, in Dec 2020 (if it still happens).
3. Star Wars【11 movies, Length: 24 hrs 52 min】
Talking about the movie franchise, how could we leave out this pop-culture-defining masterpiece?
Started with their 4th episode in 1977 and instantly became a pop-culture phenomenon around the world. What's more? It is the "Most successful film merchandising franchise" titleholder in the Guinness World Records. And how many remarkable moments, details and things this series has given to us, the Lightsaber and the sound it made, the theme song, the unique characters unlike anything else, Yoda, Darth Vadar, just to name a few. Even someone who never watches it could easily identify these things. This is how amazing this movie series is and why you should watch it.
4. The Pink Panther【11 movies++, Length: 18 hrs 29 min++】
Now, who doesn't like a smart-cute-pink-color-panther versus a dummy inspector? Given that the list is full of serious movie series, I figured why not add some comedies, especially during this panic time.
The Pink Panther series may not be the most popular among all the movie series, but it is definitely one of the best and longest-running comedic movie series. Having 11 movies on its own, plus its cartoon series. This is definitely gonna help you get through your boring time with laughter. So if you are looking for something to light up your mood, why not Pink Panther?
5. Harry Potter & Fantastic Beasts 【7+2 movies, Length: 24 hrs 7 min】
Last but not least, Harry Potter. Wicked! One of the most successful movie series of all time.
Started off with its novel, then turning into movies. The author, J.K. Rowling then made a play sequel, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Also, about the same time, she made another series out of the same wizarding world, the only year back, with Fantastic Beasts series.
What I like about this series, is that it never ceased to amaze me, from the magic spells, one-of-a-kind storyline, detail of each character and beasts, and the backstory. It made me believe that the magical world does exist and this Muggle here will do anything to be a part of it. Even just by learning the spells name, Lumos, Patronus Maximus, Crucio, Stupify, Reducto, etc etc. OOHHH~ Call me a wizard peeps~
Now I know you've probably been thinking why shouldn't this or that movie series be on the list, why not comment below and tell me what you think I should add in the list?
