The Saga Obsession

With so many sequel releases this year, I've come to an interesting conclusion.
I'm a hardcore series fan. I like stories and movies that cover the span of years, show character development and interactions, introduce new characters, and then end with a big bang that resolves all the conflicts. AKA trilogies, sagas, legends, tales.

-Books-
It started with Enid Blyton's Famous Five series back in Grade 4. I spent the next few summers collecting the books and I still have all 21 lined up on my self. During that period I also read the Baby Sitter's Club series, the Fear Street Saga, the Sweet Valley Twins, Cam Jansen, Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House, Julie Garwood's Roses and so many many more.
On my shelf right beside the Famous Five is my incomplete Harry Potter series by JK Rowling, (I still need to buy the 6th book). I actually didn't start these books until after the 3rd movie, but I'm glad I finally did. What a series! I've also read Stephanie Meyer's Twilight Saga, but I'm not gonna get started on that yet.
I follow Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunters series (though I took a break when Nick Gautier disappeared). My last read was Sins of the Night. And I'm in the middle of the Pendragon series. The last read being Book Eight: The Pilgrims of Rayne. I think all Harry Potter fans should give DJ MacHale's Pendragon books a try.
Hmm...my other incomplete series are Jules Watson's Dalriada Trilogy, the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini, Thomas Harris's Hannibal books, Robert Ludlum's Bourne series and God I can't even remember what else.

-Movies-
Counting only this year's releases, the series are: X-Men, Terminator, Transformers, Harry Potter, Fast and Furious, Twilight, Dan Brown's Professor Robert Langdon series, and Underworld
The ones that have concluded: Lord of the Rings, the Matrix, High School Musical (ahem Zac Efron people?!?!)
The ones that haven't: Batman, Spiderman, Ocean's (finished?), Toy Story, Mission Impossible, James Bond, Die Hard, Narnia, Madagascar, Shrek, The Job (Italian Job, Brazillian Job), Charlie's Angels, and the Bourne movies
And the ones that have just started: Ironman, Sin City, Wanted, Jumper, 300, Star Trek, and possibly even Watchmen.

So why list them?
To keep track, I guess. I'll probably add to this list down the road. But eventually my goal is to finish all the series I started and maybe start a few that I've never had the chance to, like Agatha Christie's Sherlock Holmes (hopefully the movies will be a series as well!).
