I would vote for The Lord of the Rings, but I haven’t finished watching part 2 yet.
Why wasn’t there a Kill Bill 3? If Quintessential Tarantino had had a brain, he would have made a trilogy and called it Kill Bill, Killing Bill, and Killed Bill.

Alien and Tremors had 4 films but never mind.
For the record, I believe Kill Bill was made as one film, but the studio said it was too long, so he had to split it into two. It was never intended to be a 2-parter, or trilogy or anything.

With your avatar, suprised you didn’t add Star Trek 2,3,4. That wasn’t meant as a trilogy either, just ended up that way.

How about Clint Eastwood’s “Man with no name” trilogy?

  1. A Fistful of Dollars
  2. For a few Dollars More
  3. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

I voted for Indy, but if this were an option I might well have voted for it :slight_smile:

The Godfather would have been the knockout champion, if only Part III hadn’t flat-out SUCKED. So I have to vote for Lord of the Rings. It’s easily the most cohesive - all 3 of the films are good, something you can’t say for most of the rest of the contenders. The first Evil Dead movie was kind of a slow-moving drag, and Return of the Jedi was noticably weaker than the previous two Star Wars flicks.*

I can’t get all the Naked Gun movies straight. It’s all the same movie, isn’t it? A bunch of hilarious gags strung together without much of a plot.

*Kevin Smith had the final word on this in Clerks.

You can’t do this to me, Richard!!! :fume:

Asking me to choose between “The Matrix”, “LOTR”, and “Star Wars” is like asking me choose which one of my children I love more than the others. :raspberry: :stuck_out_tongue: :slight_smile:

I can’t fucking believe you didn’t list THE MIGHTY DUCKS trilogy… That was drama at its best and Emilio Estevez was awesome!

I don’t understand why we are even talking about this. LoTR is the best ever, "nuff said… :s

Better than THE MIGHTY DUCKS? You can’t be serious?!

You have my apologies, Tigerman. LoTR is the second best trilogy ever. The Ducks rock! :laughing:

:laughing: I can’t believe they actually made three DUCK movies! How did that happen?

They were just ducking around.

Yeah! And THE DUCKS movies were just a complete rip off of a truly great trilogy…

THE BAD NEWS BEARS

I can’t believe RichardM didn’t list THE BAD NEWS BEARS trilogy.

He must not like kids… :s

what happens if there are only 2 movies? Is that called a Bilogy?

I vote for Once upon a Time in China. No, actually that was pretty bad except for one of them.

How about gu-wa-ze? The HK movie about youth gangs with that guy with longish hair. there were many sequels. actually, those were pretty bad, except for maybe 2nd one.

hmm. how about the god of gamblers 1 and 2?

crap, i can’t think of a good series in HK cinema. except maybe 36th Chamber of Shaolin, etc.

I would say the Kevin Smith thing, but there were five: Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, and then Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back…so that means my vote is with The Lord of the Rings with the Indiana Jones trilogy in second and an honorable mention for Les Trois Couleurs by Krzysztof Kieslowski - Bleu, Blanc, and Rouge.

How about Chinese Ghost Story 1,2 and 3? I’ve seen all of them, but cam’t remember a thing about the last two except that they were OK. The main thing I remember is the leap in subtitling quality with each successive pic :smiley:

I can’t believe “The Apu Trilogy” by the wonderful Satyajit Ray was not even in the running. :cry:

As much as I like the Lord of the Rings… another way cool trilogy is

THE SAMURAI TRILOGY

three-part series based on the life of Musashi Miyamoto with Toshiro Mifune

MUSASHI MIYAMOTO
DUEL AT ICHIJOJI TEMPLE
DUEL AT GANRYU ISLAND

I was forced to vote for “The Evil Dead”, but I’m surprised that, while not exactly a trilogy, Romero’s big three were absent, namely the all-time greats “Night Of The Living Dead”, Dawn Of The Dead" and “Day Of The Dead”.

Beautiful movies! Simply wonderful.
