IP Man
Rocky
Rocky 2
Rocky 4
Rocky 3 better than Rock 4. I pity the fool who thinks otherwise.

Rocky 4 is second only to Rocky, has to be in
I'd actually go Rocky 1,3,4 and drop 2.
Oh dear me, STW. A series of four or more films with some missed out ISN'T a trilogy.
Anyway.
Time Bandits
Brazil
The Adventures of Baron von Munchausen
Jaws has got the biggest difference between the best and a worst of any series of films, based on my IMDB ratings research. 8.0 for the original, 3.0 for Jaws: The revenge (36th worst rated film on there).

Jaws is my favourite film ever. Jaws 4 is amongst the worst films I have ever seen. Jaws 3 is barely any better.
I will argue strongly that jaws 2 however isn't actually a bad film at all. Far inferior to the original, but can stand on its own as a film I reckon.
Yeah, Jaws 2 was a decent effort and made me j7mp as a kid.
Rogue one, New Hope and Empire strikes back is a far far away better trilogy.
Robocop, Robocop 2 and then as we're skipping any sub par entries in favour of something else... Ummm, Weekend at Bernies?
That would actually make a good evening's viewing...
If only they’d make a Weekend at Bernie’s 3. The corpse would be a little too ripe though.
There's too many inconsistencies in the BTTF trilogy to make it enjoyable.
What about....
Life of Brian
Holy Grail
Meaning of Life
??

Watch out the fun police will be after you!!
Having said that you clearly dont like happy endings anyway.
First Blood, First Blood PtII, Rambo III
Doesn't the Rambo series follow the form of Alien and The Terminator?
First film: taught, dark, psychological drama / horror.
Second film: big-budget action blockbuster.
Third film: abject shit.
(disclaimer, I don't think I've seen Rambo 3, if I have it was a very long time ago)
First Blood is a brilliant film and then the rest are pure bobbins. Third one is a brilliant bad movie though
pffft - playing at it
The horsebox gangbang series every time
In fact you could easily argue that HBGB IV - "my fist time" is even better than the first three
First film: taught, dark, psychological drama / horror.
Second film: big-budget action blockbuster.
Third film: abject shit.
Works for the Cornetto Trilogy too!
(although The World's End is just way weaker than the other two rather than being truly abject shit)
Spy Kids... if you have a kid to watch them with, like I did.
3 films vaguely directed\written by the same person does not make a trilogy!
Seeing others suggestions, I'd like to second some of them:
Bourne
Rocky 1, 4, Creed
As a bit of a Paul Verhoeven fan, I'd nominate this very topical trilogy of satires about future society:
Total Recall
Robocop
Starship Troopers.
Followed by a double bill of Basic Instinct and Showgirls, naturally.
Also, as two are novellas from the same book (Different Seasons, Stephen King, read it yesterday), and a full King novel, then this is a random shout:
Stand by Me
Green Mile
Shawshank
Three films you like mentioned together is not a trilogy!
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.
Yeah, remove World's End which was shit and replace it with Paul which is very funny.
trilogy
noun
a group of three related novels, plays, films, etc.
3 films by the same Director, in the same genre, with the same focus of political satire, counts.
As does 3 films from stories by the same author, especially when two are linked by being prison stories, two are from the same book and all are told through flashback, use of narration and examine topics of crime, guilt, innocence, race and justice. All are set in mid 20th century America with SBM and Shawshank overlapping.
The beauty of art is that it's the watcher that gets to decide what they think. It doesn't have to be Toy Story 1,2 and 3 to count.
My two cents...
The Before trilogy: Sunrise, Sunset & Midnight
The Spaghetti Eastwood / Leone trilogy: Fistfull, Dollars More, TG TB & TUgly
Toy Story 1,2 & 3 (and 4!!)
The Vengeance trilogy: Mr Vengeance, Old Boy, Lady Vengeance (if you havent seen these, stop reading this a get on it!!)
The Three Colours trilogy
The original Star Wars (but only through my 6 to 12 year old eyes as Jedi doesn't hold up too well)
