I voted Godfather, but I think we're missing out on another classic trilogy in American cinematic history:



JOOOKEEESSS!!!!
BG45
I voted Star Wars.

Back to the Future.

I liked the first and the third movie in the Back to the Future trilogy, but never really cared for the second film.

Naked Gun! woot.gif

Although #3 didn't do a whole lot for me. mellow.gif
Not A Mallard
LOTR and Star Wars

I loved Godfather 1 and 2, but three didn't make it for me.

Otherwise it was a tough draw between LOTR and Star Wars, but after a five round bout, i went with LOTR.

I was also thinking of Pirates of the Carribean. The movies arent that great, but Jack Sparrow takes the Rum.

I just got back from a road trip during which time I drove for 4 hours with my friend Vanessa, who is in LOVE with the serious. She literally spoke, uninterrupted, for 2 and a half hours about Twilight, giving me the entire storyline as well as commentary and characterizations.

This leads me to say...Twilight == lame...

Well considering the first two movies are exactly the same, it's not really a trilogy, is it?

I forgot about Back to the Future.

But a trilogy quiz should only have three choices, should it not?

I still can't believe that The Godfather only got two votes!

The final movie in the Godfather trilogy was pretty weak.

True, but the first more than carries the weight of it's errant sibling.

I totally agree - the old Star Wars is WAY cooler. It was a tough choice for me between Star Wars and LOTR, but I had to pick Star Wars.

I second this trilogy... another good one left out.

Lord of the Rings or Back to the Future.
sarcasmguy126
Lord of the Rings all the way, baby! Great story (even if Jackson skewers it a bit), great action, great characters (even if he also skewered people like Faramir and Elrond annoyed.gif ) and awesome battles and special effects! I'm rereading the books!

However, I think that Frodo dropping his sword like a weasel on Weathertop, and Gollum splitting apart Frodo and Sam were awful blasphemies, but as a series of movies (or one movie) they are wonderful! I love Gandalf and Boromir especially!

Those hobbit movies were boring as hell. All it was, was a bunch of people walking, three movies of people walking to a volcano.

LOTR, long versions

Lord of the Rings isnt really a trilogy, its simply one book and story divided into 3 bound books and 6 sub books (2 book parts per book). I am sure there is a word for it hahhaha.

But It is definately my favorite!

I suppose that would be a simplistic way of looking at it. dry.gif

The Lord of the Rings couldn't have done better but its more of a story broken up into three parts whereas star wars is six parts and it is 1 generation so I say
STAR WARS ALL THE WAY. starwars.gif starwars.gif starwars.gif

I'd rather leave Godfather III up to my imagination.

Star Wars' Jedi could have been better.

LOTR wasn't completely done according to the books.

LOTR wins

Star Wars changed the way of special effects.

I wound up voting LOTR, though the movies are vastly inferior to Tolkien's books. (Though they're still an impressive piece of fantasy film-making in their own right.)
However, I'll admit that by the time the entire movie trilogy was over in the theaters, I suffered from a bit of hobbit-fatigue.
Some major downsides to the movie LOTR were Elijah Wood, Orlando Bloom prancing around in that girly blonde wig, and the miles of of footage of Aragorn and Liv Tyler in her big pointy Vulcan-ears pining away for each other. (It's one thing to strip down from a lengthy novel to make a movie move along; another to add tons of slow-moving sappy coagulated milk nowhere found in the source book).

If it weren't for Part 3, The Godfather Trilogy would give LOTR a strong run for its money. And as the original Star Wars trilogy played a large part in my young childhood, I'll always have a soft spot for it (despite Lucas' later CG atrocities).

Though comparing a crime drama to two fantasy adventures is kind of comparing apples and oranges.

Wow, we agree on something! saint.gif

FOTR was good. The other two were terrible, IMHO. Viggo Mortensen was a terrible Aragorn, he just didn't have the necessary gravitas. I also disliked the "artistic liberties" that were taken with the books, including Aragorn coming to the "rescue" of Boromir at the latter's last stand, Aragorn being dragged off a cliff by a warg, the aforementioned scenes with Arwen. Basically, I just didn't care for the Aragorn character, and that gutted the movies for me. Viggo Mortensen was to Aragorn what Hayden Christensen was to Darth Vader, with the attendant impact on their respective movies.

NOBODY DISSES ORLANDO. mellow.gif

But Elijah Wood was an insult to the books. Completely destroyed a good character in the books. Made him look like a weak fool. annoyed.gif
