Favorite Trilogy

[CubanSucks]

;)

[BlackSwordsMan]

Can I say the matrix if I only liked part 1 and parts of 2?

[BlackSwordsMan]

This counts as a trilogy que no? El Mariachi, Desperado, Once Upon a Time In Mexico

[CubanSucks]

thats some gay ass shit. I was supposed to do a poll but it was only letting me use 2 options! It was gonna be a list with the trilogies The Man With No Name, The Godfather, Star Wars, Mad Max, Toy Story, The Matrix, and of course Lord of the Rings. But somehow there was an epic fail somewhere along the poll creating process :pctoss

[BlackSwordsMan]

OH NOEZ the man with no name is pretty cool didn't like fistful of dollars, yojimbo is better

[CubanSucks]

well..my "vote" is for Lord of the Rings..:depressed not that it matters without the poll..:depressed

[crc21209]

If The Dark Knight Rises can even be half as good as The Dark Knight, I'll go with that triology of Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises. Batman Begins was a pretty good movie, but people forget about because of how great The Dark Knight was.

there's sooo many things fucked up with that chart I don't even know where to start..holy hell..every time I look at it again..just, wow

[BlackSwordsMan]

BTTF part 3 being on part with 2 is the only flaw I see IMO tbh

[Mog]

I like those "Trinity" westerns. Do those count?

The chart looks pretty good to me, except I thought Back to the Future III was more accurate before the change (I thought it was pretty good), and Indiana Jones III was way better than II. And Spider-Man III is rated higher than it should be (it really sucked).

Forgot to change the Indy graph before I posted it. Now I'm too lazy to go back and do it again. I'll agree, though. Last Crusade was much better in terms of quality but, for reasons I can't explain, Temple Of Doom is still my favorite.

And somehow I didn't notice the Spider Man graph. I would have taken all the blue out of each one if I had. Hated the entire trilogy.

[Dex]

1. Star Wars (will always be THE trilogy)
2. LoTR
3. BTTF

I just realy watched BTTF III all the way through for the first the other day. I used to hate it because I'm not much for westerns in general, but it was better than I thought it would be. I and II are still superior tho imo. Everything in III felt tacked on, and that ending was way too hokey, but I guess it was the 80s.

[SA210]

Karate Kid, Back to the Future, and I wish Young Guns were a trilogy :lol

[CuckingFunt]

I may be the only one, but I also thought the third Jurassic Park film was miles better than The Lost World. Considering it was mostly assembled using moments and action sequences from the first book that didn't make it into the first movie, it at least felt a hell of a lot more true to the source material than Jeff Goldblum's black daughter using gymnastics to evade velociraptors.

[baseline bum]

I like those "Trinity" westerns. Do those count?

LOL. Trinity is Still My Name has to be the most underrated comedy of all time.

As for the Star Wars vs LotR schism, I wish some Star Wars homers would toss their childhood bias aside. Personally, I LOVE Star Wars but just happen to prefer LotR. I do believe however, that LotR is a better trilogy as a whole than Star Wars. I believe that Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, Return of the King and then A New Hope, and The Empire Strikes Back are all pretty much perfect, while Return of the Jedi is just a really good movie

[DMC]

Karate Kid, Back to the Future, and I wish Young Guns were a trilogy :lol

Had Charlie's character not been killed by Buffy and Jody's dad, they could do the 3rd installation now. I would watch it.

LotR. I saw every movie on it's opening night. Those are actually the only movies I've seen on opening night.

[IronMexican]

I've never watched a Harry Potter movie or LotR. I want to watch LotR, but when each movie is like 3 hours long, hard to give it a chance. Same thing with the Godfather. Come the fuck at me.

[jeebus]

LOTR, hands down. They were all great. Star Wars would've taken it had it not been for Return of the Jedi.

[DMC]

You have to watch LotR. It's long, but unlike the Godfather, there's no long drawn out sleepy scenes. It's amazing cinematography and sound. It would make a good full day of viewing if you had a rainy day with nothing (or no one) else to do.

[baseline bum]

Well I'm with you for the first two, never watched any Potter or LotR film.

But The Godfather? Fuck outta here, holmes.

[IronMexican]

I think I did a little look in at the imdb top 250 a few months ago and I don't think I watched over 25 of the movies on the list.

[B-Hath]

The Jason Bourne trilogy is one of the most solid. I would say that is the best, followed by LotR just because all 3 films in each trilogy were very good to excellent. There was no crap film to sully either trilogy.

If I wanted to watch 18 hours of faggy midgets and Orlando Bloom, I'm sure there's some gay sex club in Hollywood that caters to exactly that.

[DMC]

There are some scenes in LotR that are a bit homoerotic, like Sam and Frodo getting a bit too close, and Elijah Wood does look like he would suck the creme filling from a Twinkie before eating it.

The man with no name Trilogy

[Spurminator]

If there was a 4th more or more, can you really consider it a trilogy? Would the first three Harry Potter movies be a trilogy?

Anyway, 3 Ninjas, for sure.

[Wild Cobra]

When I think trilogy, I think of books. Not movies.

It's a tossup between The Pendragon Cycle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pendragon_Cycle) and the Dragonlance Chronicles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dragonlance_novels#The_Chronicles_Trilogy) .

[CubanSucks]

:tu I was thinking the same thing. Was the first 3 Bond movies a trilogy? A trilogy is something that ENDS after the third: destroying the ring in Mount Doom, defeating the evil empire, Michael Corleone dieing


Anyway, 3 Ninjas, for sure.

There's 4 '3 Ninjas' movies, but tbh either way it blows The Godfather out of the water and High Noon at Mega Mountain puts Return of the King to shame. The definition of captivating characters, story line, and special effects

kidding of course

Star Wars, on the strength of ESB.

[jman3000]

If RoboCop 3 was anywhere near as good as 1 and 2 then I'd go with the RC trilogy... unfortunately it sucks so I'll go with the Mad Max trilogy as my personal favorite.

Same misfortune for the TMNT trilogy. I watched Secret of the Ooze so much as a child that I can probably quote most of the movie word for word to this day. Why did the 3rd one have to be such a piece of shit?

Everybody knows the fourth 3 Ninjas isn't canon. Real fans pretend that one never happened.

I love this trilogy as well. It doesn't seem as much like a trilogy though because there was so much time between the first and 2nd installments.

Isn't Silence of the Lambs a trilogy, of sorts?

[Spurminator]

The first three Omens might have held up if the third one hadn't been so terrible.

I'll beg to differ. High Noon at Mega Mountain could easily be argued as the most iconic film of the 90s and it's influence on modern cinema can easily be seen today and in almost all Academy Best Picture winners

[xellos88330]

I am torn between, LOTR, and Star Wars.

[Wild Cobra]

remember that south park where cartman saw something so hilarious he broke his funny bone and lost the ability to laugh?

Some are, some aren't. Women can be raunchy without being exotic dancers.

Why do you think beautiful bodies are raunchy?

Do you hate your own body?

[ManuBalboa]

The first 3 Ninjas was so good I have forever been too afraid to watch any of the ones after that. Rocky 5 almost ruined that series for me, and I always had that same feeling the other 3 Ninjas would do the same.

[Kai]

Star Mother Fuckin Wars

Naked Gun trilogy is one of my favs.

[TheTruth]

The Bourne Trilogy

[Muser]

Night/Dawn/Day of the dead.

And the Austin Powers trilogy. Goldmember wasn't as good as the first two but it wasn't bad.

[leemajors]

The first three Omens might have held up if the third one hadn't been so terrible.

Sam Neill's best work imo, and the best ending.

All the ones aforementioned would be worthy trilogies...but one I like and, well, it isn't a traditional trilogy but only the first 3 movies should be counted is Once Upon a Time in China.

The Matrix

Dont give a fukc what any of you think about the second or third film. All solid.

[Proxy]

The Matrix

There was a certain mood that the original captured that the other two didn't.

The concept was great for Revolutions and Reloaded... the execution was average. The ending for Neo was satisfying but the quality of directing and writing dropped off too much after the first one. The Matrix alone stands as one of the greatest sci-fi flicks ever but I see the sequels as fan service. The Animatrix was great too.

[lefty]

Dark Knight trilogy of course

[Proxy]

LOTR and Star Wars... their consistency is really satisfying. TDK afterwards... I go back and forth with Godfather since it drops in greatness with each sequel, but it's a really high ceiling to fall from with the first one so they usually just get compared to each other.

I haven't seen all of the Bourne movies so I can't say, but another one is coming out so does it become more of a Bond/Indiana Jones type of thing at this point?

1 LOTR
2 Star Wars
3 Godfather
4 TDK

this +10000

Lost World was one of the most disappointing sequels. the second book was even better, so not sure how they fucked it up. seeing that black daughter knock down a velociraptor with gymastics was the moment I realized political correctness was the death of us all.

for me, trilogy wise
Star Wars (i've seen them the most)
THe Dark Knight trilogy
Back to the Future (probably the most underrated trilogy imho)
Indiana Jones (part 1 is a classic, part 2 is my favorite and one of the first prequels i recall, part 3 was a decent finish) though i guess it's not technically a trilogy anymore because of crystal skull.

[CubanSucks]

I haven't seen all of the Bourne movies so I can't say, but another one is coming out so does it become more of a Bond/Indiana Jones type of thing at this point?

I wouldn't put Indiana Jones in that group just cause the fourth came out long after the other 3 and it was pretty much a bad joke in comparison


Either Rocky or Back to the Future.

How is Rocky a trilogy?

[stretch]

The Matrix

Dont give a fukc what any of you think about the second or third film. All solid.

There were flaws, but the depth of the story (which went beyond the movies, into comics and games and anime) is why I liked the Matrix so much.

I'm in the minority here but I'm a huge fan of the Ocean's trilogy. Thought Ocean's Thirteen was the best of the 3.

[redzero]

The Matrix sequels fucked up by focusing too much on Zion. Nobody gave a fuck about Zion.

[Spurtacus]

Tough, but this is probably my top 5.

Dark Knight
Man with No Name
LOTR
Toy Story
Back to the Future

[mingus]

1. Star Wars
2. Nolan's Batman (will probably surpass Star Wars, which for now keeps its spot for nostalgia reasons)
3. Back to the Future
4. The Godfather (if the third one was just good, it would be number one)
5. Toy Story

[stretch]

The Matrix sequels fucked up by focusing too much on Zion. Nobody gave a fuck about Zion.

Zion was actually such a small part of what really happened, that I don't get this. Do you mean that they showed a lot of the on-goings of Zion, when their efforts were practically for shit?

Basically the entire trilogy was about the Oracle breaking the "cycle" of the Matrix and "The One" by finding a way to manipulate machines, humans, and the matrix in a manner that would lead to a peaceful negotiation.

2) LOTR - Single story over three films. Jackson is probably the best ever at blending CGI with real world special effects.

As for imdb, there are 3 Nolan films now in the top 15. Above acknowledged classics like: Goodfellas, Star Wars: A New Hope, Seven Samurai, Once Upon a Time in the West, Psycho, Apocalypse Now, etc etc.

Both must be taken with a grain of salt, but RottenTomatoes is a better indicator of a film's overall reception, without the overwhelming influence of fanboys.

Saw The Dark Knight Rises the other day, and it was a hell of a movie, but the Nolan cult is just insane.

I think The Hobbit has as much to do with the Fellowship of the Ring as BB does to TDK.

Dont compare the Batman trilogy with the connection of The Hobbit to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. It doesn't make sense to.

The Batman movies are a continuous Trilogy that follow where the last one left off, while The Hobbit does not.

[Reck]

The Hobbit shouldn't even be a two part movie IMHO.

Why not?

Plot wouldn't fit in just one movie.

Much like The Lord of the Rings, the story is too long.

I agree though that making The Hobbit into a trilogy is just milking it. But as long as it is well done, I see no problem with it being made into a 3 part movie.

How is the Hobbit going to affect the LOTR trilogy status? It'll be the 4th movie. A prequel but still a 4th movie by the same director.

It's a completely different book with a completely different protagonist



The Hobbit shouldn't even be a two part movie IMHO.

Why? Jackson is using other Tolkien material not from The Hobbit, he's not just stretching out stuff from one book into two movies. There's enough history and material that Tolkien made of Middle Earth to make plenty more than what Jackson's using. Tolkien pretty much made up his own world with its own complete history. It's actually pretty insane. Plus, even though making two movies will obviously make more money than one, Jackson's a legit fan. I completely trust him to stick to what Tolkien made


Why not?

Plot wouldn't fit in just one movie.

Much like The Lord of the Rings, the story is too long.

I agree though that making The Hobbit into a trilogy is just milking it. But as long as it is well done, I see no problem with it being made into a 3 part movie.

It's gonna be a 2 parter, not a trilogy. An Unexpected Journey and There and Back Again

For now.

Jackson has said he would like to make it a trilogy per Wiki.


The two parts, titled The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: There and Back Again,[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hobbit_%282012_film%29#cite_note-titles-4) were filmed back-to-back (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_to_back_film_production) in New Zealand (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand) and are currently in post-production; principal photography (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_photography) began on 21 March 2011 and completed on 6 July 2012.[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hobbit_%282012_film%29#cite_note-filming-5) They are scheduled to be released on 14 December 2012 and 13 December 2013, respectively. Jackson appeared at Comic-Con (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Diego_Comic-Con_International), where he unveiled more information about the films.[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hobbit_%282012_film%29#cite_note-titles-4) He recently announced that he wishes to turn The Hobbit into a trilogy of films and that the possible third film is close to entering production

It's a completely different book with a completely different protagonist

Though The Hobbit's production was plagued with issues like director drop-outs, hobbit racism, union demands, and ulcer perforations, sources say an undeterred Jackson wants to devote even more of his life to shooting sweeping, dwarf-filled vistas. He reportedly wants to spend another couple months in New Zealand next summer to extend his two-part Hobbit adaptation into a full trilogy, turning his full Tolkien epic into a six-part series that is going to take all day to watch if you keep insisting on the director's cuts.

:wow What. The. Fuck!!

I say wtf very enthusiastically! I don't know how I haven't heard about this. Like I just said, there's PLENTY of Tolkien material to work with. He could make more movies than there are Bond movies and still never drift away from Tolkien's material. This is also why I don't believe that Jackson will pull a George Lucas and start making mockeries of his previous films, because he doesn't have to come up with his own material. Plenty has been written, he just has to adapt it to the screen and he's obviously got that skill

btw, what's with the "hobbit racism" part?

[Reck]

Something to do with the midget population maybe?

Otherwise I dont get it.

It sucks that a great movie gets penalized in people's eyes because they lack the attention span to follow something that doesn't have a quick pace with one event following another in unrealistic fashion.

As an adaptation to the book, the story has every right to be split into several movies. This way we get as close as possible to the full effect of actually reading the book.

I can translate your argument to this: "Books are long and boring. Movies shouldn't be like that."

Not being diverse in their hobbit actor hiring

Not being diverse in their hobbit actor hiring

yeah, that was kind of rhetorical. I just roll my eyes to shit like that, especially considering Tolkien based Middle Earth on a sort of fantasy pre-history of Great Britain.

I read an article about how nobody really gave a shit about the all white casting for LotR because no one was certain it would even be a success, it was such a gamble of a movie. But now that everyone knows how profitable a Jackson/Tolkien movie will be everyone suddenly seems to care

Grantland (Bill simmons) just did a "Best sequel ever" bracket.

Lots of LOTRans were upset by seedings but Empire Strikes back beat Godfather part II for best sequel of all time.

Im just glad Nolan fan boys didnt fuck it up.

My favorites:

1)
Alien
Aliens
Alien3(underrated...watch the extended version)
----------------------------------
2)
Fistful of dollars
For a few dollars more
Good bad and the ugly
----------------------------------
3)
Star wars
Empire strikes back
return of the jedi
-----------------------------------
4)
Lord of the rings trilogy
Put the "Dollars" trilogy at the top and stick Star Wars at the bottom, and that would be my list.

[Spurminator]

Godfather would be top of my list. Godfather III wasn't great, but I don't think it's terribly unwatchable either.

I also think Terminator 3 is better than it gets credit for.

[redzero]

Terminator 3 is a disgrace.

Which apparently is just more proof of the greatness of the Batman Trilogy... fanboys did not influence this poll as you suggest, yet TDK and TDKR both went far and only lost to the two movies in the finals, Empire Strikes Back and Godfather II. Further, these two Batman movies both came out in the last 4 years, while Empire and Godfather have been around for 30 years or so.

It would be interesting to do this poll in another 10-20 years, after the greatness of the Batman trilogy sets in a little more and gains the type of nostalgia that Empire and Godfather have gained.

[CubanSucks]

get ready for a new challenger; The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, The Desolation of Smaug, and There and Back Again

how the fuck are the 2 LOTR sequels 6 and 8 seeds? Return of the King as an 8 seed is a fucking joke. hurrrrrrrr the ending was too long!! Ok, true, but the 3 1/2 hours before that is the most action packed, intricate, character filled movie of all time. I'm ok with it losing to movies like Empire Strikes Back and Godfather 2 because at some point you get into that God-tier territory and the differences are trivial, but the seedings are fucking retarded


Terminator 3 is a disgrace.

:lmao love the sig, except Walt should be Finn and Jesse should be Jake
