DeniTwilight Under The Spotlight

Unless you've been living under a cliff sized rock for the last year, the word 'Twilight' will have a special meaning for you. For some, it is a romance saga to rival the classics. For others, it induces a strong desire to plant their head in setting cement. Whichever you are, the facts are clear- Twilight is bigger than Kanye West's ego. But my question is, will it be able to stand the test of time in the way that other film franchise giants have?
I will go out on a limb and admit I did enjoy Twilight when it came out. However, I also have my doubts as to whether or not it has the longevity of other sagas to have graced our screens. Lord of The Rings, for example, continues to be very popular, having well and truly gained iconic status, and other franchises, such as Harry Potter and James Bond, have also gained their place in the halls of film lore.
While it's true that many such franchises might attribute much of their popularity to a pre-exisiting fan base from the books, this is rarely enough for longevity. A film has to be genuinely well made and excel in many respects in order to gain classic status. It must continue to resonate with audiences long after the hype surrounding it has died down. So, my question is, do you think we will see the Twilight movies rise to the challenge? Or will they eventually disappear into the annals of film history? I want to know what you think....
