What is your favorite movie trilogy?

The Godfather

Tough one. *sees Toy Story*

Went with Indiana Jones trilogy. Not only one my faves, but all 3 films were extremely solid entertaining cinema, more than you can say for other trilogies, which usually has that one average to disappointing film thrown in.

@m2k: That does happen quite often but imo I didnt like temple of doom. But Last Crusade and Raiders of the Lost Ark are some of my favorite films.

Indiana Johnes

Tough choices. From the list, I think The Dark Knight trilogy, Planet of the Apes, and The Bourne trilogy are the most consistent in quality.

I had to go with the Dark Knight Rises trilogy. I feel that all the films and choreography were done to almost perfection. I also really liked the way the actors such as Nolan really nailed their role and character. It really reached into me as an audience member who was watching the movie and made the movie much more enjoyable and likable. It's not that the other movies weren't good, they were each very good. I just had to go with the Dark Knight Rises trilogy because I personally enjoyed it more.

Matrix I think. It was undermined by the studio somewhat (read about the original vision) but still the past brothers did a nice job out of it. First two Terminators are cinematic pinnacles, but as a trilogy it was ruined by a pretty bad final chapter. Same with Godfather. Bourne trilogy is consistently solid. No CBM trilogy is consistently good.

Back to the Future

trash thread didnt include matrix lol

Lord of the Rings

Shit is hard to choose between Godfather, Starwars and LOTR :S

in the end i pick Lord of the Ring ...is the only one that I watch complete in one day!! Yeah that was a LOT of time wasted but I regret nothing

The Evil Dead

The Dark Knight trilogy followed by The Lord of the Rings and Planets of the Apes.

Dark Knight

Such a hard choice to make from the list I had to pick the Bourne Trilogy probably followed by Toy Story......

Shit I've just noticed Star Wars is there lol

Lord of the Rings

Ip Man

Godfather.

Dark Knight

LotR in a stomp...

Star Wars would've gotten it, but the three movies alone are inferior to LotR, in my opinion. It takes all six to really make it perfect.

@rock_hard: Good choice. I mean STARWARS and LOTR are also awesome. Heck even Evil Dead would get an honorable mention from me, but Godfather is in Tina Turners words: Simply the best! Better than all the rest!

Apes

The Matrix

The dark Knight

LotR.

Tremors lol, nah Back to the Future... totally epic

Not having watched The Three Colors trilogy, I'll have to vote for the Leone's Dollar trilogy. If only because every film was better than the previous one.

The Godfather.

Indie and Lord of the Rings, never seen Godfather

Well said, and I concur.

I gotta go with TDK.

Most people panned the 2nd and 3rd films so idk if it was worth putting up. Same reason why Star Wars I-III aren't up I'd assume. Matrix trilogy should be an option though, if not a very good one according to OP. While Matrix is my 2nd fav trilogy (1st is Bourne trilogy), I can see why people disliked the 2nd and 3rd films.

Underrated or just unknown. How much of the western audience do you think has seen it?

The Godfather or Captain America. No contest.

LOTR

Matrix triology

The Godfather. The original Star Wars and Indiana Jones were also pretty good. I never understood the appeal to Lord of the Rings.

Toy story is the only one that consistently got better and better.

@stormshadow_x: The Dollars trilogy ("A Fistfull of Dollars", "For a Few Dollars More" and "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly") is notorious for that, too. So is Rossellini's neo-realist trilogy ("Rome, Open City", "Paisan" and "Germany, Year Zero"), but I'm not sure if that counts.

Lord of the Rings.

Each trilogy is amazing in their own rights.. and most contain masterpieces.. but only 1 trilogy has all 3 as masterpieces... with each one changing cinema for the better: Lord of the Rings.
