I think Star Wars was around prior to 1999.....

-Star Wars, Alien, Planet of the Apes, X-Men.

But as we're eulogizing the studio let's list some of our favorites. I'll start with those co or mainly produced by Fox 2000 since they're the ones who were all just fired:

-Fight Club
-Life of Pi
-The Devil Wears Prada

Others produced by the studio:

-Planet of the Apes (the 1968 original)
-All About Eve
-Black Swan
-The Princess Bride
-The Day the Earth Stood Still (the original)
-The Sound of Music
-Young Frankenstein
-All That Jazz
-Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
-The Revenant
-Moulin Rouge!
-Home Alone
-Gone Girl
-Die Hard
-The French Connection
-Cast Away
-Wall Street
-The King of Comedy
-Kingdom of Heaven (Director's Cut)
-Journey to the Center of the Earth
-Rocky Horror Picture Show
-Broadcast News

... Of which, Disney then or now would've only made The Sound of Music, Home Alone, and maybe The Princess Bride, but they would've all been much more Disneyfied (deadly so in The Princess Bride's case).

X-Men
Predator
Alien

In that order. There have been poor entries in all three series but at their best that's how I'd rate them.

In terms of non franchise movies, I loved

The Devil Wears Prada
500 Days of Summer
The Martian
Spy
Chronicle

And films like: Bohemian Rhapsody, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Home Alone, Bride Wars, Gulliver's Travels, Gone Girl and The Day After Tomorrow remind me of something from the past, like the experience of watching them with other people.

I went with POTA since the new trilogy was wonderful. It gets the edge over X-Men since all three movies were good where as I only enjoyed the first two X-Men.

Was foX really disappinted with the box office performance of War for the Planet of the Apes? I thought we would see the 4th movie 3 years after it.

A lot of their franchises pretty much crashed and lost steam this decade, and earlier this year, they were pretty much left with X-Men, Avatar, Kingsman and the Piorot books when it comes to franchises that were guaranteed for another film.

I think Star Wars was around prior to 1999.....

Lol. No it wasn't. It's only a recent phenomenon before the start of this new century.

I couldn't edit the poll choices because I already voted and I forgot the original trilogy came from Fox. Because the first thing that popped into my head about Star Wars was people didnt like Fox's Episode I to III so much.
