Three colors was very good. I'd love to see Blue and Red in 1080p.

Besides that,
- Bill and Ted duology.
- Terminator 1-2, and I guess 3 if I have to.
- Evil Dead 1-3 (Army of Darkness)
- Star Wars 4-6
- Man With No Name
- Back to the Future

I would completely understand if you hated it, IMO it's a bit long-winded. But it's still good.

LotR
The first three Star Wars

that's about it, the other potentially great trilogies were ruined by a weak 3rd.

The 2nd movie sucked balls and the third movie wasnt even technically part of the series. The only thing it had was the Sheik. All the other characters and all of the crew were completely different.

American Pie movies didnt do much better. The third was missing several cast members and had a crappy story. And all of the movies since then arent even American Pie. They are generic college sex romps and if the producers are able to shoehorn Eugene Levy in somehow then they get to call it an American Pie movie.

Back to the Future
Lord of the Rings
Man with No Name

I'd like to put Evil Dead up there but Evil Dead 2 was just a reshoot of Evil Dead, at least like the first half hour, that I can't consider it a good trilogy.

I picked four trilogies that first came to mind:

Vengeance
Evil Dead
The Godfather (the third film is ok on its own, unfortunately it is preceded by two of the greatest films of all time which really hurts it)
The Man With No Name

Top two, by a pretty big margin
1.) Vengeance Trillogy (Sympathy for Mr Vengeance, Oldboy, Lady Vengeance)
2.) Man with No Name Trillogy(Fistfull of Dollars, The Good The Bad & The Ugly, For a Few Dollars More)

For 3rd spot...
Would have to be Indiana Jones, LOTR, or Bourne probably....

Others I loved 1 or 2 of the films, but not all three...
Alien 3 was meh, so alien movies not in my top 3
Terminator 3 was meh, so Terminator movies not in my top 3
Godfather 3 was meh so Godfather movies not in my top 3
