Scream sucks.

The only good matrix is the first matrix.

Back to the future owns you.

QuoteBad Boys 2 (Bad boys, bad boys...)
Until they make a Bad Boys III (God willing, they won't), that's not a trilogy.Ã,  ;)

I would have to say:
- Lord of the Rings
- Star Wars
- Back to the Future
- Indiana Jones

Favorite of the above listed:
- Fellowship of the Ring (Go Boromir!!!)
- The Empire Strikes Back (darkest)
- Part II (LOVE how you see parts of part I tied into part II)
- Raiders of the Lost Ark (face melting anyone?)

The Matrix was great, but Reloaded and Revolutions killed it for me.Ã,  I found them entertaining enough I guess, but the ending of the trilogy blew goats.

The Terminator, and Terminator 2: Judgement Day were awesome movies.Ã,  Then along comes Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines ... this movie could have been sooooo cool.Ã,  And it wasn't.Ã,  I did, however, think the ending was boss.

I think you're all arguing in vain. A completely objective non-biased study on the subject has already been done. http://www.pointlesswasteoftime.com/film/trilogy.html

When you're talking about trilogies, I think you have to take into account how consistent in quality they are, through all three films.

With two awesome films, a third mediocre film brings the whole thing right down. So that's 'The Godfather' out of the running. The first two are masterly, near-perfect works of cinema, but for me, the only saving grace of the third is that Pacino can still act. It wasn't a good enough idea for a third film, and the saga should have ended with the close of Part II.

Whilst I have a soft spot for 'Temple Of Doom', it is slightly lacking. Awesome action scenes, but the movie is basically a vehicle for them, which the other two managed to avoid feeling like to some extent. So I'd have to say Indy's out of the running, however much that pains me.

So that leaves 'Star Wars', 'The Lord Of The Rings' and 'Back To The Future' as my top 3. I'd have to say 'Back To The Future', partly because I have so many fond memories of discovering those films when I was younger, but also I still appreciate them as very well-plotted and original films, with great tight scripts, the perfect cast, and lots of magical movie moments and quotes.
