The Godfather by default. I haven't seen any other ones, besides "The Karate Kid" which isn't as good as The Godfather. One day I will see "The Three Colors" trilogy.

Lord of the Rings beats it in my book. The reason being all three are great. Not the case for Godfather unfortunately.

Godfather isn't a trilogy

[–] BillHicksFan (10559) 5 years ago

there are 3 parts. of course it is.

[–] abigolcwock (517) 5 years ago

There are two Godfather movies and a spinoff, not sure how that counts as a trilogy

Huh, never really took note of the numbers in the brackets next to everyone's name, but I assume this is how many posts and comments a user has made. But your reply is very interesting to me because I also use Reddit quite a bit, and never ever had anyone reply with my karma to one of my comments as a snarky reply. And while both metrics are quite meaningless, at least karma isn't self imposed. Your comment is funny, sad, and very thought provoking

Francis Ford Coppola actually said that Parts I and II were just one film and Part III is the epilogue so yes I agree that The Godfather isn't a trilogy.

I thought Three Colors - "Red" and Three Colors - "White" were excellent. Three Colors - "Blue" was pretty bad, IMO.

[–] kuku (3510) 5 years ago

Blue is my favorite one, with Red as a close second. I found White kind of disappointing.

[–] Ace_Spade (9544) 4 years ago

I'd agree that White is the least of them. My favourite was Red, personally, although Blue does have some AMAZING visual/aural blends.

Still, though, as a whole, they're unbelievably good.

Godfather trilogy

Back to the Future
Dollars
Star Wars (1977 - 1983)
The Bourne trilogy
Godfather
Sleepaway Camp

Personally I adore the Die Hard, Alien, Lethal Weapon, Jurassic Park, House, Final Destination, Scream trilogies as well

I have a Camp Arawak T-shirt and I’ve only seen the original. Am I missing something?

[–] IrinaOma (648) 5 years ago

Not that much but parts 2 and 3 have some really cool moments

[–] Quasimodo (16388) 5 years ago

The Bourne trilogy.

Even though they more or less made the same film three times and diminished the last two with the irritating over use of wobble-cam. It's a pity they didn't bring in a team of good writers to beef the story up instead of playing it ultra safe and resorting to silly gimmicks.

Toughie!

Star Wars but some of your others are tops too

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

The Dark Knight, Bourne and Back To The Future.

It's not a traditional trilogy, but I also think Baz Luhrmann's 'Red Curtain Trilogy' (Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge) deserves a mention. It's unique in the way that the films are connected by a theatrical motif rather than plot or characters.

The Human Condition Trilogy
The Evil Dead Trilogy
Three Colours
