If you wanted that poll to be a bit more accurate, you should have use some sort of a random number generator to determin what order to place the movies. :) I voted LOTR though.

I would go Godfather, Star Wars and then Indiana Jones. LOTR was great but its not a trilogy. In a single literary
work broken into three pieces (for length if nothing else).

I voted LOTR.

Since I'm bored at work, I'll give some opinions of all the movies in the poll:

Lord of the Rings - All 3 were awesome.
Matrix - Liked them all. 3 was the weakest, but still good.
Indiana Jones - NO TIME FOR LOVE, DOCTAH JONES!! All 3 were awesome.
Godfather - I haven't seen any of them yet.
Star Wars - Awesome movies.
Naked Gun - Once again, the 3rd movie sucked.
Back to the Future - The 2nd was the weakest, but they all are awesome.
Terminator - ....the 3rd was bad compared to the first 2.
Die Hard - Heh, I liked them all.
Alien - GAME OVER MAN! I liked the first 2.
Jurassic Park - 1 was awesome, 2 blows chunks, 3 was ok.
Jaws - Watched many years ago and can't remember enough to give an opinion.
Austin Powers - Loved the first 2 and HATED the 3rd.
Silence of the Lambs - Haven't seen Red Dragon yet.
Scream - First was cool. The last 2 sucked.
American Pie - Heh....potty humor at it's best.
Lethal Weapon - All were cool.
Scary Movie - I didn't like any of them.
Home Alone - I kinda liked the first 2. the last sucked.

Godfather I - one of the best movies ever made
Godfather II - one of the best movies ever made
Godfather III - one of the worst movies ever made

Part III kills this trilogy. Otherwise it would be a runaway...

Jaws is not a trilogy..... there were 4 of them.... Same with Alien and Lethal weapon, but whatever...

Im currently torn between Indiana Jones, Godfather, and Back to the Future.

Indiana Jones because the stories are awesome and its a lot of great action with fun.
Godfather because like Mwilding said, Godfather I and II are like the best movies ever.
Back to the Future because its where my username is from obviously, and also because this trilogy was a lot of fun...

'ALL YOUR TRILOGIES ARE BELONG TO US'

Some of those you listed in your poll are no longer trilogies... ie (Hannibal Lecter(sp?), Alien, I think Letha Weapon)

Poll: Best Trilogy of all time??
For a movie or a book?

Godfather books were good, but not great. The movies were great

LOTR books were great and the movies were near great.

Books? LOTR, closely followed by Thomas Convenant series. What about a book series that was MORE than a trilogy - like Foundation?

There are others as well, but I don't count those as they are way in the future and written much later

Anyone have a link for the Ender's Game movie and Peter Jackson's email address?


err...link to movie
The same guy who directed Das Boot and Troy
