Best Movie Trilogy Ever?

[mzpro5]

Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks.



FWIW... my only exposure had been those Hobbit and LOTR animated movies from the late 1970s. My brother liked them, but I absolutely hated them (and subsequently forgot the storyline after all those years). .

As did anyone that read the books :happy-smileygiantred:

How has there been no mention of Austin Powers? :teasing-tease: :laughing-rolling:

I second this!!! IMO this trilogy is the only one listed where each one got better!!
Yeah, Baby, yeah!!!

Not a difficult task. :teasing-neener:

John Ford's Cavalry Trilogy: Fort Apache (1948); She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949); and Rio Grande (1950). One of the greatest directors ever at the top of his game.

Bob Hope's My Favorite Blonde (1942); My Favorite Brunette (1947); and My Favorite Spy (1951). A "trilogy" only because of nomenclature - and Bob.

No votes for the Back to the Future trilogy!? For shame!

And if I pretend I'm numerically challenged like srvy (It's "trilogy" "Tri-lo-gy") I'd throw in ...

The Thin Man series. No better chemistry (and comedy) than Powell and Loy.

The Road movies. Hope again - with Bing by his side.

All fourteen Sherlock Holmes movies with Rathbone and Bruce.

A ton of others.

I would wave a tiny penalty flag on the Ford cavalry films in that they are not a "true trilogy" in the sense the other trilogies discussed here. Though all three were cavalry/westerns directed by Ford they do not have any common charectors and do not tell a "linear" story. That being said they are very good films with a common setting and I recommend them.

And of course leave it to a Canadian to bring up "Back to the Future" featuring favorite son Michael J Fox. :teasing-neener: :happy-smileygiantred:

And Land Surveyors are supposed to be good with numbers. Damn you Hewlett and Packard your HP 33 and 41 ruined me.

I confess im just a button puncher now.

I'm afraid to say I've only seen GF1 and not 2, but have always heard that 3 SUCKED.

Chris GF 2 is considered the best of the three movies. I loved GF2 way more than GF 1 and part one is an awesome friggin movie. Due yourself a favor a buy 1 & 2 you can buy them on blu for about 7.00/each. A must watch.

Awesome read so far!! Just what I wanted: debate on everything from what is a good trilogy to whether or not it's complete.

One that I told Snowman I left out (but didn't feel too worried about) and nobody else has mentioned either is the last Spiderman trilogy. Btw, what about American Pie, American Pie 2, and American Wedding? I'm choosing to ignore the ones after that except possibly American Reunion (I haven't seen it yet).

The most interesting thing I find is that, w/ very few exceptions, it's hard to get 3 movies right in a row.

PS- Jeff thanks for bringing up the older movies. I want to check some of them out, especially the Sherlock Holmes ones.

Seriously... The last Spiderman franchise shouldn't be anywhere close to a list of "best" anything.

:text-+1: even if SM3 was just okay, and not a steaming pile of horseshit, it wouldn't be in the conversation...

I can't believe none of you bastards mentioned the Transformers :eusa-whistle:

 

[Orbison]

Call me old school - any 3 of the original black & white Three Stooges episodes

 

[CMonster]

I can't believe none of you bastards mentioned the Transformers :eusa-whistle:

I just assumed Flint would be adding that to the list.

 

[yromj]

I actually enjoy the Transformers movies. They aren't great by any stretch but they're fun popcorn flicks.

Just think how we'll have to change this discussion when the 3rd Tron comes out.

May have missed it already mentioned but I always liked the Diehard movies.
