The Naked Gun Trilogy.
Naked Gun, Naked Gun 2 1/2, Naked Gun 33 1/3
Bourne (Identity, Supremacy, Ultimatum)
Mission Impossible if you sort of ignore 1, 2 and 3 which don't really follow on from each other and just go for 4, 5 and 6.
@Cougar I think it was a punctuation fail more than anything else 😃 "Star Wars, specifically, implies" is what I meantIs it possible to specifically imply something? Like, I definitely might do the hoovering tomorrow.
Dr No, From Russia with Love, Goldfinger? (or adjust to your preference from the other options)
I think the most recent 3 from the Mission Impossible series are considered pretty good?
Wrath of Khan and Search for Spock might be contenders as they follow each other really well, but you can't add #1 to the start because it is complete and utter bobbins so you'd have to add The Voyage Home onto the end which I never really liked.
Bourne is a good call.
Godfather and Aliens are surely the definition of NOT a good trilogy because the third one was shit?
LOTR might have been good if Peter Jackson could do emotions, but he can't.
Cornetto trilogy sadly let down by a half-baked finale. Wanted to love World's End as it was filmed in my old stamping ground and I love movies like Bodysnatchers and Stepford Wives, but it was a big disappointment.
Re-watched original Star Wars movies last month with my daughter, they are great actually and Jedi is not bad at all. It's definitely up there.
Consistent with the internal logic though. You gotta give them that.
I like the Star Trek reboots, there's three of them. 🙂
I think X Men, X Men: First Class and X Men: Days Of Future Past would make a nice trilogy.

Boo! Hiss!

MI is problematic because you cannot, under any circumstances, include MI II. So I, III and IV?
Night of the Living Dead
Dawn of the Dead
Day of the Dead
Plenty of great calls and I feel the need to point out that both BTTF 3 and Die Hard 3 were great.
Am I allowed True Romance, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction?
+1 for Three Colours, Dollars and Back to the Future. Don't care what anyone says the 2nd and 3rd were both great films and i'll watch them any time they are on TV!
Not sure if i'd class it as best but my favourite is Before Sunrise / Sunset / Midnight. The first two films are just about perfect and the third very good.
definitely, they're all awesome movies, and there's a fragment of character continuity between them (and most, if not all, Tarantino films)Am I allowed True Romance, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction?
Toy Story is a great shout
You can’t really go wrong with:
Original Star War Trilogy
Lord Of the Rings
Bourne (Identity, Supremacy, Ultimatum)
Chris Nolan’s BatmanI’ll also stick up for Back to the Future. 2 and 3 are perfectly good films its just that the first one is exceptional
Wholeheartedly agree with the above. What’s with the BTTF3 hate? It’s got cowboy Biff, ZZ Top and I still panic with the train at the end even though I know that Marty will make it back. If anything I think the second one is slightly weak after the great start.
Toy Story is pretty much perfect though. Never get bored of watching them with the kids. I was sceptical about the fourth one, but really enjoyed it even though it didn’t really add anything to the overall narrative. The third one is such a great movie.
Bourne or Hangover
Bridget Jones
Alien 1 ,2 ,4 .
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Or
The Hunger Games
Iron man for sure....
Bourne
Blade
John wick
Not an exact trilogy but Lock Stock & 2 smoking barrels, Snatch, Revolver or RocknRolla
Or Tom Hanks The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons & Inferno
Old boy
Mr vengance
Sympathy for lady vengance
Harold and Kumar
Rocky and Rambo.
First Blood, First Blood PtII, Rambo III
Its a left field choice, but High School Musical. I mean life is all a bit shit right now, but those 3 perked me up no end. I dare you not to try and sing along.
Loads I'd have picked already mentioned, but how about...
The First Avenger
The Winter Soldier
Civil War
Pitch Black
The Chronicles Of Riddick
Riddick
The Evil Dead
The Evil Dead 2
Army Of Darkness
Godfather and Aliens
Goodfellas vs Predator
Has to be the first 3 indiana Jones movies.
I am ignoring the more recent one as it was shit
Home Alone
Home Alone 2
Skyfall
Evil dead is a very strong contender.
The newer TV series is also excellent.
What’s with the BTTF3 hate?
I feel bound to point out that I flipping love BTTF.
But IMO whereas the first film is gold, the other two are just sort of good fun in the same vein. They're not in the same league as first. So I reckon it's a push to say they form a great trilogy.
Robert Rodriguez: El Mariachi, Desperado, Once upon a time in Mexico.
Police Academy isn't it?
Back when leather and moustaches were popular.
Robert Rodriguez: El Mariachi, Desperado, Once upon a time in Mexico.
Third one was poor no?
The 1970s Dirty Harry Films
Dirty Harry
Magnum Force
The Enforcer
I always thought there was some rationale for once upon a time in the west, once upon a time in America and a fistful of dynamite but can't remember what it is.
The final scene in once upon a time in the west with the hanging is possibly the greatest visual on film. I still remember the first time I saw it.
Lethal weapon
@cb200 nailed it on the first page.
I LOVE Kieślowski‘s work!
EDIT: Oh, and Wim Wenders’ Road Trilogy, including ‘The Wrong Side’ is superb.
Star wars is a decent romp but nothing beyond Indiana Jones for me.
For Sci-fi, I'd put Alien(s) on top as a trilogy.
Left field shout as not strictly a trilogy, or films, but something that truly fits having three different stories with the same characters in 3 different times/situations would be This is England film and three series.
In The Heat of the Night, They Call Me Mr Tibbs, and To Sir With Love (admittedly the weakest film in the trilogy).
Yep, Three Colours.
Watched them again recently for the first time since they came out. Still wonderful.
And yes to Wim Wenders, but I'd just watch Wings of Desire 3 times. I love the road movies, but.........
It's been a while since I watched them but
Evil Dead
Evil Dead 2
Army of Darkness
probably pushing it a bit but since we've allowed the dollars trilogy....
Seven Samuri
Yojimbo
Sanjuro
The taking of Pelham 1
The taking of Pelham 2
The taking of Pelham 3
Jaws, jaws 2, jaws 3...the last of these was so good they made it in 3d..
Ok, in all seriousness..the first 3 Indiana Jones movies are hard to beat..followed by star wars.
