    The Alien Trilogy, resurrection was not up to the same standard at all, so It can be excluded.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    What about the Alien films (I deny Ressurection ever existed) or The Evil Dead trilogy? Or the monty python movies? Or The Godfather trilogy? Or Back To The Future? Or Indiana Jones?

    judging on the strengths of the first 2 alone, i'd go for the matrix...
    even if they turn revolutions into some kind of episode1 kiddy flick ittl still be my favourite.

    got to be the ye old star wars IV, V, VI they cannot be bettered

    That isnt really a trilogy though.....
    I'm gonna have to be run of the mill and say Star Wars IV, V and VI:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,889 ✭✭✭Third_Echelon


    the original star wars is probably the best trilogy... the new trilogy will never be good solely because of the poorness of episode I...

    lethal weapon (not exactly a trilogy seeing there was 4 movies) was a good set of harmless action and fun movies

    you cant beat the terminator films though... havent seen the 3rd one yet.. mate has it downloaded... he said it is just as good as term 2... heres hoping...

    The Godfather Trilogy, although Part 3 is quite bad in comparison to the first two.
    Back to The Future aswell, but again Part 3 was lacking imo.

    Doesn't seem to be a way to add a poll after a thread has been started.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,894 ✭✭✭TinCool


    My favourites are:

    SW IV,V,VI
    BTFF Trilogy
    Indiana Jones Trilogy (out on DVD end of year yeay !!)
    Die Hard Trilogy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,280 ✭✭✭jArgHA


    Without doubt The Godfather Trilogy, although the third installment wasn't as impressive as 1 & 2.

    After that Alien Trilogy...

    And of course the Karate Kid Trilogy :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,518 ✭✭✭Kalina


    The Lethal Weapon movies were great, they should never have made Lethal Weapon 4. They're not a trilogy but let's forget LW4 was ever made.

    Also the Godfather trilogy and Star Wars 4-6. All great!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,984 ✭✭✭✭Lump


    Pfff Die Hard Obviously, and for the cool kids Back to the future..... oh admit it they were good.

    Star Wars of course.
    Closely followed by the Emmanuelle series:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,982 ✭✭✭ObeyGiant


    Indiana Jones. All the way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,563 ✭✭✭sikes


    has to be austin powers!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,472 ✭✭✭Sposs


    Back to the Future
    Die Hard

    And Soon to be The Matrix.

    Without doubt it has to be the "Three Colours" trilogy.

    Three Colours Blue, Three Colours White and Three Colours Red. The fact that the three colours of the French flag, which symbolise "liberty, egality, fraternite", are each separately used as the themes for the films show the scale of the trilogy. Trying to encompase France/French in 3 films. And all the leading ladies are hotties.....


    Godfather lost it with number 3.

    Matrix has accounted for only 1 "good" film. How can that be considered the best trilogy?

    Lord of the rings? Thats another 2 parter trilogy so far.

    Alien trilogy (lets forget ressurection) lost it with the Alien 3.

    Did some mention the NEW starwars film??????


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,372 ✭✭✭Illkillya


    godfather without a doubt imo... part 3 wasnt great but it wasnt as bad as its made out to be... would have been good if only the director(?) hadnt cast his ugly daughter who couldn't act in such an big role.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,414 ✭✭✭LoneGunM@n


    I would have to say:

    1) Star Wars [parts IV, V & VI]
    2) The Godfather
    3) Back to the Future

    Batman 1 & 2 were great, but then Chris O'Donnell & Val Kilmer arrived :mad: :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 103 ✭✭paidi_ed


    Indiana Jones Trilogy


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 194 ✭✭TetsuoHashimoto


    American Hollywood trilogy are just sh*t

    Here are the best 3

    1 Lone Wolf and Cub Trilogy ( Banned in Eire )

    2 "3 Couleurs" Trilogy ( Fantastic film work )

    3 Police Story Trilogy ( "Jackie Chan makes Bruce Willis and Indiana Jones look like Geriatrics" )


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,956 ✭✭✭✭MisterAnarchy


    I give my vote to Lord of the Rings even thought the final film hasnt been released yet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 152 ✭✭avatar


    You can get the Lone Wolf and cub trilogy now, this friend of mine has them (maybe they were imports, but I don't think so)

    anyway

    1)Evil dead trilogy: Lost it's way with Army of darkness (I ilke AOD, but it's hust not violent enough to be an Evil Dead movie)

    So, if I can't have it, it has to be the old Star WArs trilogy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,199 ✭✭✭Jimi-Spandex


    Godfather trilogy
    or
    Clint Eastwood/Sergio Leone "man with no name" western trilogy that is fistful of dollars, a few dollars more and the good the bad and the ugly


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 19,482 Mod ✭✭✭✭slave1


    Easily SW IV, V and VI despite those fcuking ewoks

    until the matrix/LOTR come out can't predict

    Second place
    Have ye all forgot Oliver stone's trilogy
    Platoon
    Born on the 4th of July
    Heaven and Earth

    All Vietnam from different perspectives, I thought all movies were excellent in their own way
