The Exorcist films.

POINT OF ORDER:
I'm sorry, I must remark on this statement. Regardless of which films you like better, few characters share a "bigger legacy" than Sherlock Holmes. One of the most popular characters worldwide for over 100 years there are groups form,ed just to celebrate Holmes existance, dozens of scholarly works disecting the Sherlock Holmes stories, books and films taking off where Conan Doyle left off. Doyle himself tried to kill off the character but public outcry was so vehement he had to bring it back.
The Exorcist films are great. But a bigger legacy than Sherlock Holmes? Not even in the same league.
My apologies for the interuption of the tournament- I just couldn't let that statement pass.
