[Asr]

Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings (FOTR, TTT, ROTK)
Planet of the Apes (2011-2017)
Chris Nolan's Batman (BB, TDK, TKR)

Toy Story ain't a trilogy.

 

[flickchick85]

Well if we're discounting trilogies that got continued later on, then that discounts all my faves (Indiana Jones, Bourne, Star Wars, Toy Story) except the TDK trilogy. So I guess that one wins for me.

 

[Web-Head]

Back to the Future

 

[The Batman]

1. The Dark Knight Trilogy
2. The Godfather Trilogy
3. The Dollars Trilogy
4. The Lord of The Rings Trilogy
5. The Original Star Wars Trilogy
6. The Captain America Trilogy
7. The Spider-Man Trilogy
8. The Austin Powers Trilogy
9. The Original X-Men Trilogy
10. The Blade Trilogy

 

[Zorro]

Star Wars(Original Trilogy)
Back to the Future
Lord of the Rings
The Dark Knight
Captain America
Iron Man
X-Men(Original Trilogy)
The Matrix
Planet of the Apes(2011-2011)
Star Wars(Sequel Trilogy)

We’re not discounting trilogies with subsequent movies. But we are limiting the choice to 1-2-3 movies and not 2-3-4, 4-5-6... just the first 3 original movies count towards this list.

SW could also be considered 3 individual trilogies (1-2-3) because of the spacing between them.

 

[Zorro]

Oh damn I forgot about The Matrix. Very underrated trilogy

 

[Dark Raven]

Back to the Future
Indiana Jones
Captain America
The Dollars Trilogy
Bourne Trilogy
The Dark Knight


Some would consider the "Before" trilogy (Before Sunrise, Before Sunset and Before Midnight) to be among the finest trilogies. They are all critically acclaimed. However, I don't like the last part, so I'm not including it in my list. The first two are good though.

 

[scarlet-witch]

The Captain America trilogy
LOTR
Planet of the Ape reboots
How To Train Your Dragon
Original Star Wars trilogy
Nolan's Batman

 

[Fincher]

Oh, well, in that case it would be:

1. The Lord of the Rings
2. The Matrix
3. Indiana Jones
4. Alien/s
5. Star Wars original trilogy
6. Star Wars prequel trilogy
7. Terminator
8. Chronicles of Narnia
9. X-Men original trilogy
10. Underworld

 

[HammerDown]

3. Terminator
4. The Dark Knight
5. Alien
6. The Matrix
7. Star Wars
8. Spider-Man
9. Planet Of The Apes

[Spider-Aziz]

Back to the Future
X-Men (2000-2006)
Captain America
Sam Raimi's Spider-Man
The Dark Knight trilogy
Rurouni Kenshin trilogy
How to Train Your Dragon
Kung Fu Panda
John Wick (I was wondering if there was a trilogy I forgot. Thanks Bats)

3. The Dollars Trilogy
4. The Lord of The Rings Trilogy
5. The Original Star Wars Trilogy
6. The Indiana Jones Trilogy
7. The Bourne Trilogy
8. Dr. No/From Russia With Love/Goldfinger
9. John Wick Chapters 1-3
10. The Captain America Trilogy

 

[Web-Head]

What about Mission: Impossible 4-6?

 

[KaijuDude1992]

1. The Dark Knight
2. Toy Story
3. Star Wars OT
4. Back to the Future
5. John Wick
6. Captain America
7. Planet of the Apes
8. Alien
9. Terminator
10. Pirates of the Caribbean

 

[spiderman2]

1. Dark knight trilogy
2. Star wars OT
3. Star wars ST
4. The new planet of the apes
5. Spiderman 1-3
6. Terminator 1-3
7. Toy story 1-3

The star wars OT and ST are pretty close to each other to me. Spiderman 1-3 would be higher if spiderman 3 sticked the landing. Captian america i would put in there if not for the first one has i dont care for it at all but i love 2-3.

 

[Batmannerism]

1. The Dark Knight Trilogy
2. The Godfather Trilogy
3. The Dollars Trilogy
4. The Lord of The Rings Trilogy
5. The Original Star Wars Trilogy
6. The Captain America Trilogy
7. The Spider-Man Trilogy
8. The Austin Powers Trilogy
9. The Original X-Men Trilogy
10. The Blade Trilogy

That's a pretty good list.

I'll go with these....and the order largely depends on my mood. If someone told me I could only watch one, I'd have a bit of a meltdown - I would say that LOTR is probably my favourite, but it's a close race.

1. Lord of the Rings
2. The Dark Knight
3. Captain America
4. Original Star Wars trilogy
5. Bourne ( Identity, Supremacy, Ultimatum)
6. Indiana Jones ( Raiders, Temple, Crusade)
7. MI 4-6 ( Ghost Protocol, Rogue Nation, Fallout)
8. The Godfather
9. Rocky 1-3.

Honourable mention to Raimi's Spider Man trilogy, Die Hard 1-3 and Dollars. Cornetto, Lethal Weapon ( really should have stopped with 3!) Matrix and Thor have one very strong chapter but the other films are a bit of a letdown and I don't like the Toy Story films.

10. Mad Max - even without Fury Road.

 

[Closerframe]

1. Lars Von Trier's Depression Trilogy (Antichrist, Melancholia, Nymphomaniac)
2. Lord of the Rings Trilogy
3. Star Wars OT
4. The Godfather Trilogy
5. Indiana Jones Trilogy
6. The Dark Knight Trilogy
7. Toy Story Trilogy
8. The Matrix Trilogy
9. Planet of the Apes Trilogy
10. Bourne Trilogy

 

[flickchick85]

Ok so if we’re now including trilogies that got continued as well, then I can do an actual ranking, lol:

1.) The Dark Knight trilogy
2.) Indiana Jones OT
3.) Mission: Impossible 4-6 (this is totally cheating and I don’t care!)
4.) Bourne OT
5.) Star Wars OT
6.) Captain America
7.) John Wick (also cheating as it’s more of an incomplete non-trilogy)
8.) Before Sunrise/Sunset/Midnight
9.) Toy Story OT
10.) The Lord of the Rings

Mad Max (even without Fury Road it's freaking legendary)
