Best film Trilogy ever

scudzilla · 12-01-2014 06:55PM #1

Bought Lord of the Rings trilogy on bluray last week and been watching it (again) all week, got me thinking as to what people regard as the best trilogy ever made?

Didn't want to post this in films forum as thought it would get a wider response here.

I'd go for Star Wars Eps 4,5 & 6, just edging LoTR.

The Godfather would have won if it hadn't been for 3, but then would it have been a trilogy?

Added some in a poll, just off the top of my head, sure i've left some, and i've ignored Indiana Jones 4

The Godfather

Back to the future
Indianna jones
Lord of the rings

Jason Bourne would kick Luke Skywalker's ass.

Hammer Archer · 12-01-2014 06:57PM

Toy Story.

Blade

The Bourne trilogy, consistently good throughout imo. All other trilogies I have seen have a bad egg in them that kills them stone dead.

Star Wars - Episodes 4,5 & 6

Apart from Empire, the entire Star Wars franchise is sh1t. I mean, Jedi is so bad. Just dreadful.

LOTR for me. No bad movie there, and each one better than the last.

another vote for the bourne movies

Captain Chaos · 12-01-2014 07:01PM

Why is Lethal Weapon in the poll???, there are 4 of them and the first two were the best by far.

Mister Jingles · 12-01-2014 07:01PM

Lethal Weapon is not a trilogy though, there was four.

12-01-2014 07:02PM

Voted for Back to the Future but that's because the Speed trilogy wasn't listed. Speed 3 was savage, Dougal on the milk float beats all.

Spike Witwicky · 12-01-2014 07:02PM

Crocodile Dundee

cerastes · 12-01-2014 07:02PM

Star Wars - Episodes 1,2 & 3

the original star wars films episodes IV, V, VI
beating LOTR slightly

Hammer Archer · 12-01-2014 07:06PM

Am I going mad or have there been four Bourne movies (with more on the way)?

Yes, the fourth is not related to the trilogy as it's a new agent. It's not part of the Jason Bourne trilogy.

Chefrio · 12-01-2014 07:09PM

The Dark Knight Trilogy.

Lenin Skynard · 12-01-2014 07:10PM

That action man crap with Matt Damon? Seriously?

Standard Toaster · 12-01-2014 07:11PM

The Barrytown Trilogy......

The Commitments
The Snaper
The Van

You're going mad, there's only three.

There was talk of making another but when Greengrass and Damon decided not to pursue it the studio also wisely decided not to proceed.

Lord of the Rings would be my favourite trilogy but I think Bourne is the most consistent in terms of quality.

Well I can't think of another trilogy series that didn't f up big time. All the others let themselves down in one way or another.

Mister Jingles · 12-01-2014 07:12PM

I would of liked to of been able to say Die Hard

Menas · 12-01-2014 07:13PM

No mention of the 'Fluffers from Fannytasia" trilogy.

Those movies defined the 70s underground movie scene....and the 80s under the counter scene.

Andersonisgod · 12-01-2014 07:15PM

Not in the poll but for me, it's Before Sunrise/Before Sunset/Before Midnight. A trilogy that follows the meeting and subsequent relationship between Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. Lovely series of movies, beautifully shot ablnd brilliantly acted, complimented by an excellent, intelligent script.

GhostInTheRuins · 12-01-2014 07:16PM

Has to be the Maniac Cop trillogy.

Captain Chaos · 12-01-2014 07:16PM

I would have liked to say Alien if they didn't go and make the travesty that is the fourth movie.

Menas · 12-01-2014 07:16PM

There was a fourth in the franchise. The Bourne Legacy. No Damon in it. The purists do not recognise it....kinda like the way I do not recognise The God father 3.

The first three still count as a trilogy.

This would probably get my vote too. But of course the 4th installment will come in 8 years time.

12-01-2014 07:19PM

The Godfather

Can we include quadrilogies if we only count the first three?

The Backwards Man · 12-01-2014 07:20PM

Police Academy.

Twice.

Rothko · 12-01-2014 07:21PM

Beverly Hills Cop

I would've said Die Hard or The Evil Dead but out of those I'd pick The Godfather.
