Franchises (or at least series of movies with the same characters, etc., I 
can think of offhand):  The Matrix; The Godfather; Die Hard; Lethal Weapon; 
Crocodile Dundee; Shaft (I think there were several); Rocky; Alien; Terminator; 
what else?  Many of these have won Oscars for various things -- one of the 
"Godfather" movies got Best Picture, I believe.  But how many KIDS movies (and I 
don't really think of HP as "kids' movies" beyond CoS) have won Oscars?  I don't 
know, I'm not an Oscar buff enough to recall.  Anyone else know?
