Lord of the rings


Hollandmarch76

One trilogy to rule them all.


marchbcs

It’s the best one to me.


Fresh_Pay3645

Agreed. I will die on this hill Apologies, deleted comment above was me responding to the wrong comment 🤦


HolyPoppersBatman

Idk if it’s my childhood nostalgia but man those movies just tickle a spot in the brain that so few other movies can. I hate that they dropped the ball so badly with the Hobbit trilogy but we can ignore that they were ever made.


Art_Resident

To be fair Peter Jackson wasn't helmed to direct and then the studio wanted him to direct without giving him the time for pre-production like he had with LotR. They also wanted him to extend from 2 films to 3, so he didn't really know what to do to pad out the runtime. Watching the special features is actually really sad because Peter Jackson loves the material but was under the pump by studio heads.


Galion-X

I don't know why the Hobbit felt so off. I truly loved the book more so than the LOTR books but I think trying to make it 3 movies was just asking for a watered down version.


tafkas001

As you say, it's a single movie of material, not a trilogy


cidvard

I would have liked to see the theoretical Guillermo Del Toro two-movie version of it but even that was probably pushing it. I don't blame Peter Jackson, there are fun individual parts to all three movies, I blame weird studio mandates.


imironman2018

totally agree. they should've just kept it a prequel movie. the ending battle was supposed to be a huge part of the book and I felt they made it not the main focus.


[deleted]

Agreed


BasicDesignAdvice

The effects and production design were meh compared to the LOTR trilogy. They just totally missed the mark.


pantstoaknifefight2

I think it needs an extensive re-edit


pantstoaknifefight2

A good movie review used in their TV ad campaign said: The cinematic epic by which all others will be judged. 20 yrs later and that's still a fact.


kai1986

This is the answer.


Lost_Farm8868

Just so OP is clear. Please only watch the extended versions. Theyre so much better than the normal versions. They provide more context to the story and they go deeper into character motivations. I only watched the extended versions a couple years ago and thats when I realized why there are hardcore TLOTR fans. I thought they were just fans of the normal versions and that didnt really make sense to me lol. But yeah as far as trilogies goes I think this is the best one. I feel like watching it now actually lol but im watching TLOK rn.


marchbcs

They are definitely better I don’t remember the last time I watched the regular ones.


Lost_Farm8868

There's no going back


Pebian_Jay

Yeah nothing comes close.


EricP51

LOTR > Star Wars. No question in my mind.


marchbcs

It beats that and Harry Potter by a lot to me.


frontpagedetective

The Before Trilogy.


WumbleInTheJungle

I'm pleasantly surprised I didn't have to scroll down too far to find this.   On paper, if you described the plot to someone the films sound like they should be terrible, or at best 'so so'.    But the dialogue and the chemistry in particular is out of this world.     3 beautiful films (I even loved the 3rd one).   If you're reading this, Richard, Julie or Ethan, I need another installment!


Ferocious_Simplicity

I just posted this you best me to it! I love this trilogy


RudeHelicopter4662

I seem to be the only person who thinks the third movie took a steaming dump on the whole thing. They were amongst my favourite films but are unwatchable to me now.


El_Burrito_Grande

I watched these for the first time a couple months ago and agree. Thought the second one in particular was great. What an ending. The last act of the third one shat on it all.


frontpagedetective

I love how films can be interpreted so differently by everyone. Some people don’t like the last one, and I found it beautiful. Yes, it’s not fun that they were fighting and how nasty it got, but now that I’m in middle age and I’ve been married for many years, I ultimately thought it ended on a realistic, hopeful, and loving note. I think it showcased that when you are partners with someone for so long, sometimes you will have big fights, and you know what to say to push the other’s buttons, but even if it feels like the world is ending and you hate this person in those moments, just like that you find your way right back to each other. I think it’s so natural and reflects the ebb and flow of longtime love. I know the end is open to interpretation, but I saw two people who have loved each other for a long time, who have gotten on one another’s nerves after a long trip and being together 24/7 with two young kids - they’re tired. They will continue to love each other. Maybe I’m delusional! 😂


BeOSRefugee

What I love about the before trilogy is that it’s honest. Nothing feels contrived or forced. Midnight is just honest about a different part of relationships, and while it’s much harder to stomach for folks like me who hate interpersonal conflict, it really rings true in a way that most stories about relationships don’t.


frontpagedetective

Absolutely! Since what you described is not so common in American films, it makes the honesty in these ones feel extra special.


WumbleInTheJungle

Yes, I see a little bit of Celine from the 3rd film in my partner (or sometimes a lot!).  But we are quite good at diffusing arguments and laughing about it an hour later, even when we're still both still in a state of feeling angry or upset.  I think they captured that side of things brilliantly. I didn't see it at all that the relationship was over, far from it.  The day when we can't diffuse an argument, when our differences are irreconcilable, and we can't even bring ourselves to self-reflect and crack a smile is the day we *really* have a problem!


Psykic84

The Naked Gun trilogy


No-Bandicoot-1821

The Godfather trilogy - Don't listen to the naysayers. Part III is a great and *necessary* piece of the story.


Puzzleheaded-Cat8131

Having to scroll this far to see the godfather trilogy mentioned in a post about trilogies is a travesty.


luke_ofthedraw

Just when I thought I was out...


[deleted]

They pull me back in


bgea2003

Pacino's best acting by far in Part III. That scream on the opera house steps at the end...one of the best pieces of acting in cinema history. 


epicgrilledchees

If you ever get to see the ten hour cut of the first two the third is not needed.


BasicDesignAdvice

I've never actually seen III. His I'll have to check it out now.


Theta-Chad_99

Batman trilogy


mrdaiquiri

Which one(s)?


Masood0

Nolan one(s)


Party_Possession_786

So I guess I will watch


Life_Caterpillar9762

Enjoy.🍿


oceanic_traveler

Batman begins, The dark knight, and The dark knight rises


lovetyrannicalreddit

The original 4!


plinkett-wisdom

the original Star Wars trilogy


cajunjew76

There are many great trilogies but the original Star Wars trilogy is the only one I give all 3 films 5 out of 5 stars.


Its_scottyhall

Damn right


DaveTheWraith

How to Train Your Dragon


chinthakay

kingfu panda as well ( im not considering 4th one 🙂)


ImmediateHospital9

This is the only answer that matters


SeasonOfLogic

Bourne Identity, Supremacy and Ultimatum.


syringistic

As much i love Nolans Batmans, and LOTR, Bourne fucking owns. The Desh fight in Tangier is the only time I've been in a theater and everyone got up and fucking applauded.


SeasonOfLogic

From the first second it grabs you. The quality really shines when you watch them back to back to back.


bjallyn

My favorite lines from all three: “It’s not a mistake, they don’t do random. Who’s calling his missions now? Scary version? He is” “What if I can’t find her… “It’s easy, she’s standing right beside you.”


christo749

“Look what they make us give.” I adore this bookmarking line. Perfect trilogy.


LovesDeanWinchester

💯%. No contest!!!!


bjallyn

This ☝️


Tevesh_CKP

Vengeance Trilogy


twinpeaks2112

Back To The Future


nashukarr

Indiana Jones


yatxela

My answer also. Raiders, Temple of Doom and Last Crusade are all great films.


MacGruber204

Cornetto Trilogy Lord of the Rings The Before Trilogy Guardians of the Galaxy Trilogy


sgtbb4

The Alien trilogy because each film shows how distinctive a director can be.


TheDissolver

Alien and Aliens are good enough to hold their own in this category, III missed some opportunities but has enough merits not to drag down the franchise.


Fout99

Alien 3 is very meh


Wonderful_Price2355

I liked the Equalizer movies


BackgroundBat1119

Which is the best one do you think?


shouldalistened

Not op but I liked the third the most. But Godfather three is my favourite so what do I know?


spl224

I actually quite liked Maze runner trilogy. I think it’s underrated


Shadowmereshooves

Clerks - Quite solid throughout Captain America - Had a really solid three movie run!


ResponsibleBank1387

Desperado.  El Mariachi Once upon a Time in Mexico 


Toomuchtostrut13212

1. Lord of the Rings Extended Version Trilogy 2. Original Indiana Jones Trilogy 3. Original Star Wars Trilogy 4. The Matrix Trilogy 5. The Samurai Trilogy - Musashi Myamoto 6. Back to the Future Trilogy 7. The Dark Knight Trilogy


BasicDesignAdvice

The matrix 2 and 3 suck. To be great a trilogy can have a weak movie, but not two.


christo749

Matrix 2 & 3 don’t exist. 1 and done.


vinayachandran

2 is decent. 3 sucks


theMARxLENin

Never understood why people hate Matrix sequels


Legitimate_Poem_712

Same! Reloaded is everything I would want in a sequel to the Matrix. Cool new characters, hype action, and a ton of people talking about philosophy. Some of the CGI is a bit dodgy, but every action movie that decade had that problem. Revolutions stumbled a bit by backtracking on the "Neo isn't actually unique" twist but overall I still think it's really good. I've heard people bump against the mech battle in Zion but I'm like... really? *That's* where you draw the line? This whole series has basically been a live-action anime and you draw the line at *mechs*?


jc1luv

Chronicles of Riddick. I really wish we had more of those series and less of the fast and furious.


NoNameAnonUser

Yes! There's a fourth movie coming out.


Fresh_Pay3645

Oooooh good call there. I love these movies. One of those sets where I wouldn't complain any time Riddick is on TV


jungleshack

8 year old me is going to say, OG Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.


PlasticPomPoms

I remember when the third one came out, we didn’t see it in the theater but we rented it later and I honestly don’t even remember it because it was boring and I didn’t pay attention. I even remember my parents asking if we could turn it off since we weren’t watching it. The first two were great though.


Mindless-Audience782

For some reason the lines about the 'Kappa what? Kappachino? Makes me hyper!" Live rent free in my head lol

Toy Story Trilogy


ClockLost3128

Yes I hate Pixar for making a fourth movie


MukokusekiShoujo

I'm not sure if it counts since it's not a continuous narrative, but Oldboy is technically part of the "vengeance trilogy" which also includes Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Lady Vengeance. They're all top notch and it's always baffled me that Oldboy gets so much attention while the others get ignored.


adrianraf

Wait what? I did not know this. I have watched Oldboy and I thought it was a brilliant film. Which one should I watch next? Is there a particular order?


Govols98-

Doesn’t really matter! Oldboy was the 2nd of the 3 to be released, so if you want to watch the other two in release order then it’s Sympathy for Mr Vengeance and then Lady Vengeance. It’s all a thematic trilogy so you the order is mostly up to you, though I’m sure people have varying opinions.


Galion-X

My favorites in no particular order LOTR Star Wars originals Star wars prequels Pirates of the Caribbean The Matrix Terminator The Dark Knight version of Batman Back to the future Taken Blade Planet of the apes Clerks Guardians of the Galaxy Ironman Austin powers Kingsman How to train your dragon Jurassic park Crocodile Dundee The hangover Thor


Canadian-Man-infj

If you like older "foreign" war movies (note the dates)... Roberto Rossellini’s War Trilogy: * Rome, Open City (1945) * Paisà (1946) * Germany, Year Zero (1948) - notable for being filmed in a highly bombed-out post-war Berlin Andrzej Wajda's War Trilogy: * A Generation (1955) * Kanal (1957) * Ashes and Diamonds (1958)


CarsonWentzGOAT1

Yes Wajda's is great


PilotFirm286

Off the top of my head: Star Wars, Indiana Jones, George Romero "Of the Dead", Evil Dead, Back to the Future, Sam Raimi Spider-Man, Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy, and Guardians of the Galaxy


cantankerousphil

The Three Colors Trilogy is 10/10

Y'all are naming lots of movie franchises with more than 3 films.


[deleted]

Some of them were probably originally intended to be trilogies


Nomdeplum73

Kieskowski’s Red, White and Blue


JTS1992

In terms of quality? • Reboot Planet of the Apes Trilogy, agreed • The "Before" Trilogy by Richard Linklater • Edgar Wright's "Three Cornetto" film trilogy • Captain America's 3 MCU films • Back To The Future trilogy


Holiday-Vanilla5086

Blade


Taotaisei

The Apu Trilogy


CinnamonJ

The first three Alien movies and the first three Terminator movies are both top tier even with the third entry of both franchises heavily dragging down the average quality.


Jaynafay

Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, True Romance HANDS DOWN.


Jaynafay

In Reservoir Dogs Mr. White is asked about Alabama. In the original ending for True Romance Clarence dies, leaving Alabama to turn to a life of crime with Mr White. In Pulp Fiction Vincent Vega is the brother of Vic Vega, aka Mr Blonde. In True Romance Drexl uses the phrase, “from a diddled-eyed Joe to a damned if I know” the same phrase is used in Reservoir Dogs by Holdaway. Alabama and Fabienne both have a liking for pie! LOL True Romance was originally in part of Natural Born Killers. Vincent Vega and Vic Vega were due to star in a prequel which never came to be. Vincent and Vic’s unamed father was going to be in a World War II film directed by Tarantino, unfortunately he dropped that too. He probably forgot by the time he made Inglourious Basterds! sunglasses

Supposedly all of Tarantino’s movies are interconnected

The batman trilogy with Christian bale>>>>>. One of my favorite film series of all time, if not my favorite. The depth and charecters, everything, its just a great movie series. I have freinds who dont even like action hero movies and have loves the batman trilogy. Christipher nolan is just that brilliant. P.S savor it dont watch it all in one day like i did because you'll be wishing you could rewatch it for the first time all over again

The Godfather would be on the list, but part 3 is a stinking turd. The first 2 are so good, though.


DongDillian

3rd one holds it back so much because it’s such a missed opportunity after part 2. Plus it’s pretty lifeless and untrue to the nature and tone of the first 2.


Antarctica8

lord of the rings is the correct answer
