Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a drunken pirate fighting a giant squid, or a car soaring from the back of an exploding train? Whatever it is, it sounds like the sort of scene that would fit perfectly into this list

A Good Day To Die Hard, Tuesday 12 June, 9pm, Film4/HD (CH 428/429)

If there’s one thing the cinema-going public adores, it’s a hot new film series. And, luckily for them, there’s always a new one around the corner to take both the world – and the box office – by storm. So much so, in fact, that the combined total box office take of the franchises featured in our top ten totals in excess of an eye-watering $30 billion.

Now, while that may be a little more than we earn in a week, contrary to what some might think, money isn’t everything. After whittling down the options to a top ten that got us tingling, it’s now down to you to choose the all-singing, all-dancing film series to rule them all.

And with A Good Day To Die Hard hitting your screen this Tuesday, there’s no better time to celebrate these behemothic cinematic series and revel in the classic lines, moments and memories they have delivered to audiences over the years.

So don your eyepatch, pick up your wand, strap yourself in and fall with style as you vote for your favourite from the list below…
