LOTR, because, like the books, it is really a single story and was filmed as a continuous work. Most trilogies have a successful start and then the 2nd two are added...to mixed effect.

I know I'm old, but what about Back to the Future?
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

As The Godfather III was so weak (though the first two were masterpieces), I'll have to go with the Ring trilogy -- an amazing, consistently excellent cinematic achievement, in my book.  Thumbs Up

I've seen them in adolescence and I can't recall anything else except that I liked them.

There's something about film trilogies that there is usually one in the series that just isn't as good as the others. LOL
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

^ They're good, but I prefer the newer trilogy ... especially Once Upon a Time in America, it beautifully combines Mafia and Western.

Mike, you have to check out White.  It is the most fun of bunch, injecting a bit more humor. Red is more mysterious and about an odd relationship.

How about some Sergio Leone?

Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)
Duck, You Sucker! (1971)
Once Upon a Time in America (1984)

And before that there was his Dollars trilogy with Clint Eastwood. Big smile

I hate La Double Vie de Véronique intensely, while Blue I just hated (but more than enough to skip Blanc and Rouge, so I haven't seen them)

This guy is spot on

So its Godfather for me, I guess.

Mad Max, Back To The Future, Lord Of The Rings and Die Hard are all excellent movies but they're nothing compared to the glory of the original Star Wars trilogy Big smile

But they weren't released that long ago...

That gets my vote, too, by the way.  Modern masterpieces.

I would watch them when I was way younger, and I was addicted. My first PA username was Aragorn224...

I remember quite well.

This is a pretty solid option.
The Godfather trilogy is 2/3 brilliant but I'm feeling a pull towards comedy right now, and seeing as how there are FOUR Vacation movies, I think I'll go with:
the Naked Gun trilogy


Time always wins.

I haven't seen those yet, but I see they have a lot of high marks.  I really enjoyed Kieslowski's Decalogue, so I'd probably like the Three Colours as well.  (Yes, I am a 15-year-old who watches foreign art films.Geek)
