Best Trilogy?

[KillerGremlin]

Let's make a list of trilogies that everyone should see.

Obviously you have Star Wars (the new movies don't exist, I can't hear you) and Back to the Future. And things that are kind of hit-and-miss like Jurassic Park and The Godfather.

*movies with asterisks may have more than 3 films, but are best encapsulated by their trilogy line up or have a 4th "bastard film" that came out much later in time (usually to milk money)

LOTR

Dark Knight Trilogy (*jinx*)

Halloween

[Teuthida]

Infernal Affairs, Toy Story, and fingers crossed on the upcoming Riddick threequel.

There's also the The Vengeance Trilogy: Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance.

[KillerGremlin]

Rush Hour, and at least 2 out of 3 of those movies don't suck. Also the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Say WHAAAAAAAT!?

[Teuthida]

Ah, there's more news on it than I thought:

On September 5, 2011, Diesel announced that filming for the new "Riddick" film will commence soon in Canada and will be distributed by Universal. Diesel also confirmed that the film will carry an R rating.

As of September 23, 2011, the title of the film is listed as 'The Chronicles of Riddick: Dead Man Stalking' and word has been given that Karl Urban will reprise his role as Vaako from The Chronicles of Riddick.

You put Rush Hour, but exclude Indiana Jones and Die Hard?

Right now, would say Toy Story is the most consistently great trilogy in Hollywood.

[Ginkasa]

Indiana Jones and Die Hard both have 4 movies.

What about The Matrix?

Like I SAID, Indiana Jones and Die Hard

Hey, if he can get away with only counting Star Wars 4-6, I can onyl count the first 3 movies!

[KillerGremlin]

Live Free Die Hard was good. New Indiana Jones doesn't exist. We can include them both, because technically it was the Die Hard Trilogy for a long time.

I also think you could include the Alien Trilogy and pretend every other Alien movie doesn't exist.

The original Jurassic Park is awesome, the sequels are terrible.

I got one you haven't listed yet:

Ice Age. (It's better than Shrek!)

Ice Age, Shrek, The Mighty Ducks. There's gotta be more kiddie/Disney trilogies, right?

Dude, I dunno. I just watched Jurassic Park and the Lost World. The Lost World is an okay adaptation of the book, although Spielberg did fuck a lot of the stuff up. The bottom line is there are T-rexes, as in more than one. And raptors. And people being eaten. I haven't seen the third movie since it was in theaters many moons ago, so that is next....

I think The Lost World is a bad movie, especially compared to Jurassic Park...but the critics really tore it a new asshole when in reality it is an okay monster movie.


Anyway, AWESOME contributions form Typhoid and Seth. I have a lot of movies to watch. The Dollars trilogy is fucking awesome, I can't believe I didn't think about that...Clint Eastwood is one of my favorite anti-heroes.
