Best Movie Trilogy Ever!!!!!

[The Last Nomad]

Man you have to wathc LOTR trilogy - EXTENDED EDITIONS!!!
Me and my friends had a lord of the rings night last summer. We watched all 3 extended editions, we started at 10 pm. It wasnt finished till 11am. Night well spent. We also played a drinking game during it (I wouldn't recommend doing that).
Me and a friend have been talking about movie marathons to watch during the summer so I have a few to mention.
Pirates of the Carribean is the only one that I didn't see mentioned in the first page that I can think of straight away.

Oh, and in case you forgot. Die hard and Terminator are quadrilogies. (Terminator, not so much, but there are 4 films).

 

[Toaster Hunter]

Lord of the Rings or the original Star Wars.

 

[jamescorck]

Back to the Future.

No prequels, no extra sequels, no George Lucas being remotely controller by Rick McCallum to add more BS CGI, it's self-contained and beautifully acted, executed, written and edited.

The Lord of the Rings works too, but you might spend more time discussing the things that don't resemble the novels than enjoying the very well executed action sequences.

If neither of those work, give a chance to the first three Alien movies, or should I say, the ONLY THREE ALIEN MOVIES?

 

[shinigamisparda]

Indiana Jones.

Hell-freaking-yes.

Otherwise I'd pick the three Evil Dead movies. If nothing else it's interesting to see how much the tone changes over the three.

 

[Archemetis]

The lack of Back to the Future in this thread is disturbing.

 

[DerpyDerpyDerp]

John Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy (The Thing, Prince of Darkness, In the Mouth of Madness)

Neil Marshall's D Trilogy (Dog Soldiers, The Descent, Doomsday)

Toshiaki Toyoda's Bad Boy Trilogy (Pornostar, Blue Spring, 9 Souls)

*unfinished* Edgar Wright's Blood and Ice Cream (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End)

Park Chan-wook's Revenge Trilogy (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, Lady Vengeance)

Francis Ford Coppola's Godfather Trilogy (No need to list)

Sergio Leone's The Man With No Name Trilogy (No need to list)

etc etc...

[creatiwe]

[McNinja]

I'd have to say Lord of the Rings, probably tied with the original Star Wars. then the Terminator trilogy, and the Indiana Jones trilogy, and that's about all i can come up with right now, and those are my favorites.

 

[smudgey]

Robocop
Beverly Hills Cop
Naked Gun
El Mariachi

I just recently sat down with a couple others for a movie marathon. We watched Adam Wests Batman, Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman &Robin, Batman Begins and the Dark Knight. I recommend you do this.

 

[Julianking93]

Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings, the obvious Star Wars.

Those'll do.

 

[DarkhoIlow]

Lord of the Rings

You can't really call Star Wars a trilogy because it has 5 parts,can you? =o

 

[GundamSentinel]

LotR, Star Wars, The Godfather. I guess they are the only ones who had quality throughout.

Edit: And yeah, Sergio Leone's Man with no Name movies.

 

[theironbat46]

its alive cuz its cheesy..

 

[dfcrackhead]

if by good you want terribly bad so it's fucking hilarious? Phantasms that shit is so horrible it's funny, it's got robots that latch onto your head and drain all your blood, grave robbing midgets, an old guy in a suit, and one of them has a sawn off 4 barrel shotgun.

 

[Dok Zombie]

I'd say Lord of the Rings or Jurassic Park - probably leaning towards LOTR more since Jurassic Park 3 let the side down badly.

Also anyone who liked the Jurassic Park movies DEFINETLY read the book - it is alot better and the movie barely followed it.

I liked the third film in that it took some of the ideas in the first book that weren't doable in 1993 or whenever it was. Like the aviary,
