Love the Pink Panther series! 60’s and 70’s Bond movies with Sean Connery and Roger Moore were awesome as well but the rest I could not get into. Halloween 1&2, Jaws 1&2, Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, will not watch the “Newer ones”
Mission Impossible’s
James Bond’s
Lord of the Rings
Star Wars

Lord of the rings and Hobbit were great Mark! The newer Mission Impossibile’s are great, they have a great mix of action and humor all wrapped into a it. Only watched the original Indiana Jones
Do not know if they would make the top four, but I like Rocky, Rambo, Predator, Terminator, Dirty Harry, Star Trek, Mission Impossible, Lord Of The Rings, The Hobbit.
I'm not sure I'd consider the Godfather as a series. More like a trilogy+1. A series to me would be something on-going and not a fixed number of films. The Nolan Batman, Lord of Rings, and Hobbit would all fall into this category with a finite end.
That criteria aside, I can't think of anything that can top James Bond and Star Wars as #1 and #2 with everything else so far back in the dust it's not worth listing a top 4.
Several honorable mentions though ranging from the Bourne series, Indiana Jone, Pink Panther, even American Pie if you span genres.
ahopkins- nice mention with Leone's spaghetti western trilogy!
Correct me if I'm wrong- For a few dollars more, fist full of dollars, and the good, the bad, and the ugly.
I really enjoy Leone's 'Once upon a time in the west' as well.

Yup, that's them, Darin. They never get old. Classic lines and scenes.
I realize I only listed three series. The OP asked for four. So, my fourth: The Bourne Trilogy.
what about Actors who have made multiple "Franchises" in their career?? look at what Clint Eastwood has done: he breaks out with the Sergio Leone trilogy, follows it with the "Dirty Harry" movies and then has success in comedy with the "Any Which Way" movies. I'm a big Eastwood fan, both in front of and behind the camera, and he had this little troupe that stars in many of his films. if you've watched them you'll know the faces but I can't really tell any names off the top of my head.
the Bond series is incredible for having lasted so long with multiple actors filling the lead.
I have all four Bourne movies and fully expect a fifth, I wonder if Matte Damon will come back. they used prior footage of him in number four and even his name in the cabin scene.
another multiple franchise winner is Tom Cruise. he does pretty good in the MI series and now he has two installations as the ghost Special Forces guy, Jack Reacher, which were both OK.
Cant believe no one mentioned the “Alien” series although it got a little stupid the last few but Alien and Aliens were pretty awesome.
One I’ve enjoyed but not a Classic is the 3
“Cloverfields. “
M. Nights “Split” with Mr Glass and Bruce Willis is pretty interesting also.
W.C.Fields "I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
Paul Newman is one of my all time favorites. The Hustler, with Jackie Gleason as Minnesota Fats, is a truly great piece of cinema. The Color of Money does not quite measure up but the performance given by Newman was spectacular and the ‘Fast’ Eddie Feltson character was one is of his more inspired turns.
Maybe 2 movies isn’t enough; perhaps with all the remakes going on, Tom Cruise reprises Vincent on day soon...

The Hustler with Paul Newman kind of reminds me of the Cincinnati Kid with Steve McQueen only
its poker instead of pool.
Newman and McQueen are the upstarts trying to take down the old pro's, Jackie Gleason
and if memory serves, Edward G. Robinson in the Cincinnati kid.

love Peter Sellers and the Pink Panther series. Also a big fan of the early Bond Series with Sean Connery. the dirty Harry movies with Clint Eastwood are just classics. As a fourth, I do like Bruce Willis and the DIE HARD series. Sorry but was never a Star Wars person.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid The Sting (one of the Top 10 Movies Ever made)
Nobody’s Fool (90s, underrated and fantastic)
Cars (best character in the franchise)
Absence of Malice
Road to Persition (great performance)
Sweet Bird of Youth
Slap Shot
Verdict
