Best Movie Trilogy Ever!!!!!

[Marter]

The Lord of the Rings trilogy is my favorite. I've seen each of them at least 7 times. (Extended Editions)

Highlander
NO NO NO

Anyway, my favourite movie trilogy is most likely the original Dead series by George Romero. Night of the Living Dead, Dawn Of The Dead, and Day Of The Dead.

Out of the ones you posted, Die Hard. It's the only one, apart from Star Wars, that's totally consistent throughout.

Not the Evil Dead trilogy? I'm surprised.

That said I've never actually seen George Romero's films, despite being a massive zombie fan. I really should.

OT: Probably either the original Star Wars trilogy, or The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I know it deviates from the book quite a bit, but they're still excellent films.

Edit: Oh, and of course, Indiana Jones. Though Temple isn't as quite good as the other two, the trilogy as a whole is great.

Spoiler: Nobody has named this yet. I am disappoint.

This.

Also, Star Wars is classic.

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

'Die Hard' I only thought the first was great.

How can you not like the second? It's pretty much more of the same as the first, in my opinion equal in quality.

I'm one of the few people on this earth who think the third one was on par with the first, as it's my favourite. But I don't have the audacity to say it's the best one...

Or do I?

Jurassic park, the evil dead, the lord of the rings, and finally back to the future trilodys all stand the same in my vote.

Was just checking myself to see if it hadn't already been said yet and i'm surprised i had to scroll this far down!

Well, Lord of the Rings is definitely the best movie trilogy of all time.

But if you're watching the extended editions, know that you're in for an 11.5 hour marathon.

What, messy brainless fun?

Pretty much, yeah, but very well directed and with a main character you can empathize with.

Unlike Steven Seagal.

Not the Evil Dead trilogy? I'm surprised.

That said I've never actually seen George Romero's films, despite being a massive zombie fan. I really should.

I was going to put Evil Dead, but I figure it's what I always say, so I'll leave it this time.

And yes, watch them all. Night Of The Living Dead is old, but it's still a masterpiece, Day Of The Dead is very slow paced, but really good when you look back on it, and Dawn Of The Dead is beyond compare.

Alright, thanks for the advice. I'll have a look around. Surely I'll be able to pick up a box-set of the trilogy cheap from Amazon or something.

 

[krseyffert]

Agreed, back to the future is one of the best FULL trilogies i've seen

I'm one of the few people on this earth who think the third one was on par with the first, as it's my favourite. But I don't have the audacity to say it's the best one...

Or do I?

I actually think they're all just as good, there's no drop in quality.

Okay, they get steadily more over the top, and the 4th was a pile of shit, but the first three are all very good.

I might be one of the only person that thinks the 4th was better than the third. I agree, there's hardly any drop in quality, but I still like the fourth a lot.

I'd say 1, 2, 4, 3.

 

[Toriver]

Yeah, I'm with the majority on this one with LotR, Star Wars episodes 4-6, the first 3 Indiana Jones, and Back to the Future. I also enjoyed the Matrix trilogy, but I wouldn't put it with the best trilogies ever. If a 3rd Nolan-verse Batman turns out as good as the first two, I would add that though. Here's hoping!

 

[MadCapMunchkin]

Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Back to the Future are obvious.

The Indiana Jones Trilogy is also a classic (the fourth one wasn't so horrible, but needed many more rewrites).

The Austin Powers ones are good for a dumb laugh or two.

That's about it...yeah...

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

The Godfather series. Part III was a bit of a letdown, but the first two more than make up for it.

Spoiler: I'm surprised no one mentioned it yet.

Hey escapist, Planning a movie marathon.

So what is the best movie trilogy of all time?... if i have missed one, please include in the comments. I will try to put in poll.

Edit: WTF, deleted poll, now i cant put one in... oh well, just say your favourite i suppose

I cant decide between original star wars, Die Hard, Lord of the rings, Jurassic park or Terminator.

I would put matrix but the last one let the side down.

If you like Westerns- or just intelligent and well-filmed action movies, really- you should definitely check out the Dollars Trilogy. You know, the famous three Sergio Leone movies that turned Clint Eastwood into a big star? Anyway, they're absolutely great. You've probably heard of the last one, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, but the two other movies in the series- A Fistful of Dollars being the first one, For A Few Dollars More the second- are absolutely brilliant as well.

They're smart, not too actiony yet still filled with gorgeous action scenes (they have some of the best showdowns ever!), and brilliantly cast. Clint Eastwood as The Man With No Name is excellent, and Lee Van Cleef as Colonel Mortimer is amazing as well. Check them out sometime, they can't cost much nowadays, being rather old movies.

I'd say 1, 2, 4, 3.

I just thought it was very bland, myself. And as silly as it progressively got, the silliest thing in the originals was jumping onto a plane from a helicopter, which I suppose is perfectly doable with a lot of luck.

But seriously, crashing a car into a helicopter? And living?

Alright, thanks for the advice. I'll have a look around. Surely I'll be able to pick up a box-set of the trilogy cheap from Amazon or something.

I got the first three in a collection for 15 euros. It's in most shops, it's got a dead hand on the front.

Righto. If I'm ever in town and see it when I have spare money on me, I'll undoubtedly buy it. But I'll probably just do what I usually do and wait until I've saved a bit of money and then order it along with a few other cheap games/books/films from Amazon in one go. Receiving big packages full of goodies in the mail makes me happy inside.

Wait... Star Wars exists. Why is this question even being asked?
