You have to choose between which two types of films to be limited to watching in future.

Which is it, only one off/stand alone films or Franchise/Series/Trilogies

This includes all films not just future releases. 

Wanna watch 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' or 'The Third Man' then no 'Star Wars' or 'Godfather' films for you.

I'll take the franchises. Any halfway decent action/adventure movie gets a sequel. I like Oscar-bait movies too, but not as much.

Be much easier to give up comedies.

The length of a one-off film is usually not sufficient to tell a great story.

Probably wouldn't be the first time Mongers got punched over something he posted online.

Since nearly every stand-alone will be followed by a remake or sequel before too much longer, not a hard choice.

Think Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid won't be part of a franchise?  Think again.  It will be rebooted soon with 4 sequels.  They'll all be crap, but we can still watch the original.

Do we get to keep TV series? I'm willing to give up franchises *only* if we keep TV series.

Are Charlie Chaplin's "Tramp" movies a franchise?  :unsure:

;)
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Well I can always make sequels to my favorite stand alone films. Destroying all copies of sequels seems harder.

Quoteccording to a report, the duo — who worked together on True Detective — are talking about a remake of the Western classic Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

"There's already a script in development," a source told America's Life & Style magazine.

"Matt wants to turn a whole new generation of moviegoers into fans of the bandits."

The 1969 flick starred Paul Newman as Butch and Robert Redford as Sundance.

"Matt would play Sundance and Woody would play Butch," the insider says, adding that "he hopes Robert wants to direct!"
