4. Toy Story.

Does Indiana Jones still count as a trilogy plus one, or would I have to include the whole series?

 

[Lord]

Would the Original Indiana Trilogy count? It was technically a trilogy for a long time, and Last Crusade had a pretty good ending and closure for the series. Other is Pirates of the Caribbean, the first 3 were basically a storyline dealing with Will, while the 4th film is more of a one shot sequel to it, or the MCU films, while Iron Man 3 was more of a sequel to Avengers than IM 2, the three films were still technically a trilogy.

 

[slumcat]

1. The Apu Trilogy - Satyajit Ray
2. The Disconnection/Isolation Trilogy - Michelangelo Antonioni
3. Toy Story Trilogy - Pixar
4. The Depression Trilogy - Lars von Trier
5. The Trilogy of Life - Pier Paolo Pasolini

 

[Wheels]

I'll allow the Indy trilogy since it was around for awhile before the fourth film.

 

[Lord]

Well, the first 3 Pirates of the Caribbean and Transformers film are still mostly billed as a trilogy, with the last one planning a "second trilogy"

[Tanin]

Back to the Future is the only trilogy where I love the whole thing all the way through.

The Original Star Wars is a close second but Return of the Jedi has too many low points for me to count it.

I suppose I could also add in Silence of the Lambs, Red Dragon, Hannibal. But No Jodi Foster in the last one kinda killed it. Still one of the best though.

 

[Rowsdower!]

1. The Lord of the Rings
2. Star Wars
3. The Dark Knight
4. Indiana Jones
5. Back to the Future

 

[John Locke]

1. The Lord of the Rings
2. Back to the Future
3. Dark Knight Trilogy
4. Star Trek Trilogy (2-4)
5. Star Wars OT

 

[Bim]

1. Star Wars
2. Indiana Jones
3. The Godfather
4. Lord of the Rings
5. Back to the Future

Honorable mentions: Alien (i ignore the last one lol), Hannibal trilogy (Silence of the Lambs, Red Dragon, Hannibal), Bourne Trilogy, POTC, Jurassic Park.

 

[Erzengel]

I wanted to add Godfather but the weak 3rd movie prevents it even though I'd rate the first two as easy 10 out of 10s. Same thing to a lesser extent, Alien, X-Men, Spider-Man, Mariachi, Blade, Terminator, Scream. Solid 8-10 movies with lackluster third movies.

 

[Bim]

I couldnt leave those movies out, despite Sofia Coppola's performance in Godfather 3 lol. First two are the closest to perfection as i'll ever consider a movie to be.

Agreed on Spiderman, X-Men and Terminator.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah, that's the problem with so many trilogies. So many of them just fall apart in the third installment for whatever reason.

 

[Erzengel]

Could be worse, there's many that I think only did 1 decent movie followed by 2 lackluster sequels.

 

[chintai80]

1. Indiana Jones
2. Original Star Wars
3. Back to the Future
4. Dark Knight Trilogy
5. Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy
