* ''Franchise/StarWars'' is one of the biggest media franchises around, consisting of nine numbered movies, numerous spin-off films and animated series, a monstrous amount of comics, hundreds of novels, over a hundred video games, and other assorted materials. Luckily for newcomers, the franchise underwent a ContinuityReboot in 2014 which trimmed the "canon" down to just the movies, certain animated shows, and all new material published after the reboot, meaning there's a ''much'' smaller pool of books and comics to catch up on, for now.
* Besides their massive menagerie of animated features and shorts, the Creator/WaltDisney company has made a staggering amount of live-action movies; there were 67 live-action films made during Walt's lifetime alone, and the company has made hundreds more since then, and isn't stopping anytime soon. (Mitigating this somewhat are a large proportion of the films from the 1990s onward, many of which are either remakes of earlier live-action films or live-action adaptations of the animated films, and thus may be skipped if one is not a completist.)
* Creator/AlfredHitchcock's filmography has over 50 films, from various studios and releases. It would take a week to watch all of his extant films.
* ''Film/JamesBond'' (25 official movies and still ongoing, and three non-Creator/EonProductions movies; God help you if [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRrNlh-UaGg you watch them non-stop...]]).
* If you wanted to show those film buffs who's boss and knock off the entire Creator/CriterionCollection, it's going to take some time. There are 1000+ entries (some of which contain 3 or 4 full-length films or a multitude of short films). So even if you watched one movie every day, it would take you nearly three years. Don't forget the occasional title like ''Literature/BerlinAlexanderplatz'' or ''The Human Condition'', both of which are 10+ hours long! (The Laserdisc lineup is more managable, at only 305 titles.)
* One of the longest film series is ''Franchise/{{Zatoichi}}'' with 26 films with the original actor Shintaro Katsu, a few remakes (including the [[Film/Zatoichi2003 2003 one]] by Creator/TakeshiKitano), and a 100-episode-long TV series. Most of the original movies have been collected in a box set from Creator/TheCriterionCollection, appropriately enough!
* Want to check out a few classic Franchise/{{Godzilla}} movies? You're in luck! Toho Studios has made a whopping ''thirty-two'' full-length films featuring the Big Guy, released more-or-less continuously from 1954 to 2023 (and counting!). There are so many movies in the official {{canon}} that fans have taken to separating the series into four distinct "eras" just to make things a bit simpler; there's the Shōwa era (1954-1975; collected by Creator/TheCriterionCollection in 2019 as spine number 1000), the Heisei era (1984-1995); the Millenium era (1999-2004), and the Reiwa era (2016 onward). If you chose to watch all these movies in a marathon, it would take nearly ''fifty-six hours'', and that's if you don't choose to sleep, eat, or go to the bathroom in between. And that's not counting Toho's ''twenty'' other kaiju films taking place in the [[TheVerse Godzilla universe]]. Or [[Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters1956 the 1956 Americanized version of the original]], [[Film/{{Godzilla 1998}} the 1998 American version from TriStar]], or [[Film/{{Godzilla 2014}} the American reboot from Warner Brothers]] and its [[Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019 two]] [[Film/GodzillaVsKong sequels]], and that's not even mentioning the numerous dubs and subbed versions to pick from. In total, you'll have to sit through nearly ''60'' movies. And if that's not enough, there are also [[WesternAnimation/TheGodzillaPowerHour five]] [[Series/{{Godzilland}} sepa]][[Anime/GodzillaSingularPoint rate]] [[Series/GodzillaIsland TV]] [[WesternAnimation/GodzillaTheSeries shows]] (as well as five ''Series/ZoneFighter'' episodes where he appears as a GuestFighter), a few dozen comic series, several novels, and over ''40'' video games.
** It even set a record for [[Main/LongRunners longest running movie series]], though not the most entries.
* ''1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die'' is a book that lists exactly that many movies. The catch? It's updated every few years, meaning that there are actually ''1151'' entries across the editions. Please note this includes the entirety of Creator/PeterJackson's ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' trilogy, the entire ''Franchise/ToyStory'' series as ''one'' entry, the first two films in ''Film/TheGodfather'' trilogy, and ''Film/LesVampires'', which is nearly seven hours long. If you want to see them all, good luck.

** Fans have meticulously catalogued [[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Xfe--9Wshbb3ru0JplA2PnEwN7mVawazKmhWJjr_wKs/edit#gid=0 all entries in the MCU,]] which includes the five ''Film/MarvelOneShots'' shorts, in-universe material like news reports from sources like ''WHIH World News'' and ''[=TheDailyBugle=].net'', promotions for various things ranging from the 1974 Stark Expo to Wakandan tourism, & StylisticSuck material like “Rappin' with Captain America” and “I Want Your Cray Cray”, and even non-canon material like ''WebVideo/TeamThor'' and several promotional commercials with brands ranging from Burger King to Audi. As of November 2021, the chronological list has '''''587''''' unique entries, and they estimate that catching up with the entire MCU would take ''over 18 days'' of continuous watching. You'll probably ''have'' to include the tie-in comics (21 stories across 43 physical and digital issues not counting the adaptaions of the movies themselves, 33 stories and 72 issues counting them) in your archive binge for this one, merely to avoid ruining your eyesight.
* The Columbia short subject comedies: 526 shorts released, including 190 with Film/TheThreeStooges.
* Creator/RainerWernerFassbinder's ''Berlin Alexanderplatz'' is reportedly the longest movie ever made with an actual plot as it would take ''fifteen hours'' to watch. It was originally a MiniSeries, but they decided to put all the episodes together in theaters as one massive movie.
* There's about a dozen or so movies even longer than "Berlin Alexanderplatz", but all of them are [[LeFilmArtistique experimental films.]] The current record holder is "Logistics" which takes ''857 hours to watch'' (or over 35 days). It follows the complete process of making and selling a pedometer in reverse chronological order.
* The most entries in any film series belongs to the UsefulNotes/WongFeiHung franchise, which consists of a massive ''89 entries''.
* The "Witchcraft" series of films have the highest NumberedSequels of any movie franchise ever, going up to ''16''. [[Creator/AllisonPregler Obscurus Lupa]] was brave enough to see them all.
* Creator/LeonardMaltin's classic movie guide (and his original before making two books) features him reviewing and listing every entry in a huge film series. The most installments of any in his book are the Bowery Boys films, which go up to ''47''. And ''that's'' not even counting their predecessors, the Dead End Kids, the Little Tough Guys, and the East Side Kids. All of those movies combined adds up to a massive ''ninety-two films''.
* ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' most likely has the most NumberedSequels of any mainstream film series released in theaters going up to eight. And then they StoppedNumberingSequels and including the reboot, would add up to 12 films. In movies, Jason Voorhees is simply the poster child for JokerImmunity.
* The Hopalong Cassidy films had a massive ''66 entries'' going from 1938 to 1948, a rate of about ''six made per year''.
* The ''Film/CarryOn'' films are listed by the Website/{{IMDb}} as going up to thirty-one parts, the [[https://www.imdb.com/search/keyword/?keywords=thirty-first-part&ref_=fn_al_kw_1 highest number of any keyword with a numbered part.]]
* The original black and white ''Film/CharlieChan'' films contain an impressive 41 installments.
