Do You Have Free Time? Here Are a Bunch of Movie Series to Use It All Up

Do you have a bunch of free time and a couple of streaming services to divide it between? Or maybe a bunch of those classic movies you're supposed to watch by the time you're 30 to get through? Well, you've come to the right place. Even if you haven't been miraculously gifted several days of free time to binge-watch, these movie series are the ones to start catching up as soon as possible. These are for the movie lovers who enjoy a good story told over the course of a few films—and TBH, the stories may not even be that good all the time, but the characters and set pieces are fun, k? I will defend my love of movie trilogies and franchises to the death, y'all.

Some of these movies are so tightly woven that they absolutely were made as one cohesive piece of art—think Lord of the Rings and the Before Sunrise movies. Others might have taken a bit of a...meandering path to get there, but we still love the destination—basically anything Marvel, but especially Thor, Iron Man, and Spider-Man. Some kinda figured their vibe out as they went along—lookin' at you, Fast and Furious movies! But no matter the road we took to get there, sometimes it's just fun to witness the evolution of an epic idea or character (and spend a lil time with some actors you love). So check out these 31 movie series and be prepared to waste your whole weekend.
