Lord Of The Trilogies

[jolldan]

3 is the magic number!

To nail down a perfect trilogy seems to be one of the hardest things to accomplish in cinema, you don't have to get it right just once or twice its three times. So with that in mind I thought it would be cool to see what everyone's top 3 trilogies are. That way we can see which trilogy takes gold, silver and bronze overall.

Also I will be including things that were originally a trilogy but eventually did another film like Indiana Jones & Toy Story for example, however will only be judging the first three films.

Now there's no way I will have managed to get everyone of people's favorites but tried to add just ones I thought had a chance of being picked that's why I didn't include The Hobbit trilogy, however if someone wants to pick it just let me know and I will add it.

Thanks for letting me know that's it sorted now if you want to make your picks

Personally, I think a true trilogy follows a storyline that begins with the first and ends in the third that ties back to the first and ends a storyline in three films.

So Toy Story or Indiana Jones or most of the more episodic choices don’t count.

In terms of true trilogies, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Dark Knight, Matrix, even Star Trek II, III and IV would count.

 

[Filmfreak]

Lord of the Rings, Batman and Bourne.

 

[THORin]

LOTR, Indiana Jones and Toy Story.

 

[Boom]

Where's my Planet of the Apes option?

 

[Schlosser85]

Lord of the Rings, Godfather, and Batman

 

[Pink Ranger]

Back to the Future, Batman and Lord of the Rings for me. The first two were cert, but I struggled between Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and Toy Story.

The so-called Dollars Trilogy contains some of the best films ever made in the English language, including The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, which is one of my top 10 films ever made in any genre. However, I consider it's status as a trilogy loose at best, as they are unified by a theme but not by a story.

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

Batman, Captain America, and Lord of the Rings.

Whilst I don't hate Blade: Trinity, if it had been better Blade would have replaced LotR.

 

[Pond]

This is the dumbest, laziest, most useless thread I have ever encountered.

So, naturally, I voted ASAP...

 

[Boom]

Since the new Apes trilogy wasn't included on the poll:

The Original Star Wars Trilogy
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
The Dark Knight Trilogy

 

[Doctor Jones]

For consistant quality where the quality is on a whole other level from most movies.

The Lord of the Rings
Toy Story

 

[Pink Ranger]

Batman, Captain America, and Lord of the Rings.

Whilst I don't hate Blade: Trinity, if it had been better Blade would have replaced LotR.

I struggled with whether to put Captain America in there, because it contains my either first or second favorite CBM of all time (Civil War). My issue with Captain America is that it doesn't stand alone as a trilogy; especially for Civil War you need to have seen a majority of the rest of the MCU movies to really understand it.

 

[HammerDown]

The Lord of the Rings
Terminator
Back to the Future

 

[Finarfiniel]

The Lord of the Rings is by far the greatest film trilogy of all time.

Indiana Jones and Toy Story also rank highly for me, but LotR is just on another level.

 

[OutOfBoose]

Theatrical LOTR trilogy is easily the greatest movie trilogy for me.
Nolan's Batman is the second best. Inspired a lot of people. Great discussions, speculations. It was special time for comic book movies and Batman fans.
I picked The Matrix as the third one. A lot of people have problems with the sequels and good portion of the criticisms are legit, but I feel they're still unique pieces of filmmaking.

I know what you mean (I usually watch the Cap films interspersed with Avengers 1 and 2), but they were on the list and I love 'em so they got my vote!

 

[Luigi]

Tempted to name the recent Apes trilogy but Rise just isn't as strong as it's sequels.

LOTR
Matrix
Bourne

Where's my Planet of the Apes option?

Has been added now of you wish to change your picks.

 

[titansupes]

In poll order:

Back to the Future
Original Star Wars Trilogy
The Dark Knight Trilogy

 

[Scarlet Spider]

 

[Herofan]

I would have gone with The Lord of the Rings, rare to have no weak, all impressive films, but I think it is surpassed and beaten by The Godfather, the third is weak compared to the first two but still really good, even impressive. Honorable mention/third place to the original Star Wars trilogy, the first two are great (and better than most of LotR), the third is good albeit in a somewhat feeling-generous kind of way.

 

[Slade W]

The Godfather Trilogy is my favourite. I also love The Dark Knight Trilogy.
