Classifications

O.K.

One of my attentive readers brought up a good point, and that is one of classification, so how would you classify the following films?

The X-Men "franchise"

(On a personal note I HATE the term franchise, it denotes something mass produced, a commodity not an artistic endeavor)

The Raiders of the Lost Ark "franchise"

Jaws

Dark City

The Matrix

The Boys from Brazil

The Exorcist

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Close Encounters of the Third Kind

The Davinci Code

Donnie Darko

The Lord of the Rings

The Mummy

And I am sure that you, my readers, can suggest more, please do.

Puppetmaster
