Personally, The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

I knew it was going to be quite the experience before I went for the first time‡ but it was so much fun I had to keep going back bringing friends each time.

It's still a fun tradition to do though we haven't done it since last year, we're probably going to try and go again in a few weeks.

‡ I had seen it many times before going to see it in theaters for the first time.

The Fellowship of the Ring. Probably the other two movies as well but this one stands out in my mind.

The first Pirates of the Caribbean as well. Back before they turned it into a franchise. Such a fun adventure movie.

    I have a huge soft spot for the second and third pirates films. I think looking at the first and thinking it could make a great trilogy is totally valid and although they're definitely much more long winded than the first with less lovable characters, they're good films and if I ever revisit the first, I generally revisit the second and third too.

    I watched the Dungeons and Dragons movie when it came out and really enjoyed it, but it definitely felt like I was watching a marvel movie, albeit a well written one, Pirates may be the last YA action adventure franchise that isn't just the re-skinned marvel formula, which makes it far more watchable than 80% of the genre since.

    Also Pirates 3 is basically the creator of the horrible pressure CGI artists have suffered under for the past 15 years, so take that as you may.

    While I enjoy the Pirates trilogy, I feel like they could just as easily have kept it a single movie. It was fine, the story was conclusive enough to satisfy and open ended enough to tickle the imagination.

    Not everything has to be turned into a franchise or a ‘verse.

    I do agree, and generally I don't want everything to be a franchise or a verse. However I feel that a trilogy although generally profit driven can expand a film in a nice way, such as the original star wars or Indiana Jones trilogies.
