They've been packing theaters since the early days, like Universal's Frankenstein kicking off in 19. 31, with sequels like Bride and Sun rolling out over a decade.

Success hits from surprised matches, killer storylines, or big intellectual property, but legendary casts always seal the deal. Cast changes happen, but icons keep coming back.
