10 Greatest Trilogies Ever

First off, Trilogies are defined as three seperate movies filmed and released in less than a decade and they all pertain to the same characters, events, and plot. Be careful to not confuse Trilogies with Sagas.

10. X-Men: Movies based on comic book super heroes are destined to become trilogies, if not sagas. X-Men has a little bit for everyone, the good, the bad, and Halle Berry.

9. The Bourne Identity/Supremacy/Ultimatum: You know, I always thought that Matt Damon was kind of a Streisand, but he’s rocking the shit in this one.

8. Spider-Man: Who doesn’t root for the smart, nerdy guy who gets bit by a genetically mutated spider and in turn get spider-like powers? Ya’know, that old chestnut.

7. The Godfather: The first two were just about perfect, and the third at least lived up to the hype. It pretty much paved the way for any ganger/mobster movie that is created today.

6. Back to the Future: The third one might ruin it for some, but who wouldn’t want a time-traveling DeLorean? Although, it might be tough to get the 1.21 Gigawatts to fire it up, but with today’s gas prices it might be cheaper that way.

5. Star Wars (Episodes IV-VI): Not a saga because each Trilogy stands alone, and yet together too. Part of the most epic science fiction odessy ever. This may seem to be a little low on the list being at 5, but it will be hard to argue with the ones below it.

4. Pirates of the Carribean: Suprised? Me too. The first one did so well, why not make two more. When was the last time you were able to look at a pirate and say, “That pirate is hot!”? And that could go for Knightly, Bloom, and Depp. At World’s End closed up the story perfectly, but it doesn’t mean that there won’t be another.

3. Star Wars (Episodes I-III): Yes, better than the original. Episode I brought back the thrill that was missing for over 25 years. Episode III is the most exciting out of all of the Star Wars movies, yet we knew what was going to happen before we saw it. How does George Lucas do it? We should freeze him and thaw him out 25 years from now to complete the third Trilogy.

2. The Matrix: The Wachowski Brothers are the most brilliant minds of the 21st century in movie making. Philosophical and Religious allusions echo throughout this Trilogy and it is not even close to boring. This Trilogy will change the way you think, if you think that you think at all after watching this. Don’t contemplate too long though, your brain will melt and leak out of your ears, nose, and mouth.

1. Lord of the Rings: Any arguements here? If so, then go watch Moulin Rouge you homo. The Novel becomes a visual cinemantic thriller. Peter Jackson deserves a Nobel Prize for the Best Trilogy Ever Made. Take the weekend off, order a pizza, some chinese food, a part sub, and a tub of wings and just watch the sh*t out of this Trilogy.
