If you go through the list it's easy to agree with a couple of the examples provided.

I've always been partial to Star Trek myself.

This is bit of a silly topic but a little fun none the less.

I got burned out by both for a time and James Bond. Just coming around to Bond again despite knowing Skyfall was the first movie without a book either written before hand or released in conjunction with the movie. But of the two I like Star Trek a little better due to The Next Generation and Voyager series’ on tv. I kind of lost track of the movies back when a movie with the Next Generation and Deep Space Nine characters came out. Then I watched Enterprise but when the show was canned I quit. Don’t much care for the new films. But looking forward to a series in the works with some of the Next Generation guys involved.

I also liked the original Star Wars movies and the other ones done in the 90s and 00s were ok and they helped tell the early part of the story so I am ok with it. But the idea of doing more is not exciting me. Bad enough that some of The Star Wars stories were made into a cartoon that Cartoon Network ran.

The opening crawl of Star Wars is certainly not original since it was directly inspired by the old time serials which Star Wars was a homage to. Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers weren’t the only serials using the crawl as I have seen it in other old time serials as well. Seeing the crawl in serials decades prior to Star Wars was an eye opener but as many had noted Star Wars was a mish mash of old movie references and homages. If you were a movie buff you could see a lot of it at the time. This wiki article explains it.

Doctor Who is better than both.
