Best Trilogy?
 
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.

What else am I missing.

Edit: I'll update a master list.


Ace Ventura
Alien Trilogy (*)
All Dogs Go To Heaven
Angles in the Outfield
Apocalypse Trilogy
The Apple Dumping Gang
The Apu Trilogy
Austin Powers
Back to the Future
A Better Tomorrow

Big Momma's House

Bourne Trilogy
Brave Little Toaster
Carnosaur
Cisco Kid

tentative Dark Knight Trilogy

Die Hard (*)
Elements Trilogy

Return of the Living Dead (*)
Rio Bravo
Robocop
Rush Hour

Sarah, Plain and Tall
Shrek
Spiderman (1, 2, 3)

The 36th Chamber Of Shaolin
Three Colours Trilogy
Toy Story
Transporter
Transformers
Trilogy of the Dead
Twilight Saga (*cringe*)...isn't this gonna be 4 movies?

*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)

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.

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

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.

Re: Best Trilogy?
 
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!

Re: Best Trilogy?
 
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!)

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.
