I'm not sure why Ghostbusters is listed, there's currently only 4 movies in the franchise (original, 2, the awful reboot, and Afterlife)

You are correct, but the trailer for the 5th movie just dropped.

Other movies in that series are more fun than the original, but the first movie is clearly the best as a movie.

I'd agree with Saw and Harry Potter

F&F and Indiana Jones (pretending it's '5 or more entries') possibly as well, though I can see arguments for F&F 3 and Temple of Doom being slightly better

Rambo

First Blood is leagues better than the rest of the series.

I will admit that Rambo: First Blood Part II completely misses the point of the original movie. I guess Stallone doesn't care if he's in an antiwar movie or a prowar movie so long as he gets to be the toughest guy in either one of them. But I will still argue that it's just as good as the first film when taken as its own thing.

I do like the second and fourth movies. Even Rambo III had a few good moments like the helicopter attack on the village. I just consider the first one to be the best.

In Rambo III, I think Stallone sorta forgot which character he was playing.

"You told me not to feel pain, sir."
"Does it work?"
*shaking his head and smiling* "No..."

That's an exchange that should be between Rocky and Mickey, not Rambo and Trautman. Rocky and Rambo are two different characters and think Stallone lost track of that.

Hellraiser.

Nearly every subsequent film pretty much forgot or didn't understand what the Cenobites were supposed to be and what they were meant to be doing.

And yet, my two favorite 'Hellraiser' films were the ones more about the person's psyche after messing with the box. Of course, I like the first film as well.

Hellraiser - Deader - Hellseeker

Is The Howling "very successful" as a film franchise? The first movie did good, not great in theaters. The rest of the movies were straight-to-video.

How lucrative could that be?

That line would have made sense if it was from a prequel that took place during the Vietnam War.

Tremors
Tremors is so fucking good for what it is. Like the cooler goes on the fritz early in the movie to foreshadow it going on the fritz at the worst possible time later in the movie. Setup, and payoff. Its a shame that a B movie had more thought put into it than most movies now.

If you honestly think Alien is indisputably better than Aliens, you either misunderstood the topic or are one of those assholes who thinks your opinions should be considered objective fact.

I say this as someone who absolutely prefers Alien over Aliens.

Although looking through the topic, it seems like a lot of people misunderstood the topic. TC is looking for franchises where there is a clear consensus that the first one is the best, and people who disagree are outliers.

A lot of people seem to be just expressing that they have a strong opinion about the first one being better, regardless of whether there is much of a consensus about it.
