I wish I could say Indiana Jones, but now that's a quadrilogy *sigh*. It's got to be Original Star Wars then.

The Godfather trilogy and Leone's "Man with no name" trilogy.
I also like the "Death trilogy" by Alejandro González Iñárritu very much, consisting of Amores Perros, 21 Grams, and Babel.

The Terminator movies deserve a mention, though the third wasn't the best and I haven't seen the new one.
I like The Man With No Name movies as well. I was just thinking about watching one of them soon.

I HAVE to say Lord of the Rings, of course, but Back to the Future deserves some attention as well.

For me it has to be Park Chan-Wooks Vengeance trilogy (Sympathy for Mr Vengeance, Oldboy, Lady Vengeance). OK, so they're linked by theme rather than story but they still beat all other trilogies that I've seen.

Well, when the first three films are lauded as untouchable master works by the sentimental fanboys, it's pretty impossible to get them to admit that other films even exist.
The fact that Return of the Jedi is one of the cheesiest, most implausible films in the whole saga always seems to slip by those particular people.

I'd like to mention Pirates of the Caribbean. Admittedly, I don't really know how it ranks among movies in general, not having seen most of the moveis here and not really being much of a fan of modern cinema. But I love how the series was surprisingly fluid - always entertaining and full of eye-candy for those who go to movies for the special effects and action scenes (which does not include me =D), yet with characters whose motivations were varied and who made and broke alliances at a whim in order to achiever their own ends. Surprisingly complex and non-standard. Also full of medieval greatness and fun fantasy.
Oh yeah, and although I'm not huge on action scenes, I'll take a sword fight over a gun fight any day. So that didn't hurt.

More like the fact that ALL SIX STAR WARS MOVIES are some of the cheesiest, most implausible films in film history always seems to slip by their fans. [/BITCHRANT]

Yes, but I can enjoy them on their own merits. What gets me all the time, however, is how many people seem to be under the delusion that the second trilogy is any worse than the first. All the films have very poor dialogue, all the films have childish humor, all the films have continuity errors out the ears. RotJ just happens to be the pinnacle of everything bad about Star Wars. It has the most annoying comic relief character in the Ewok (much more irritating than the Gungan, I say), poor, rushed pacing, error after logical error in this supposed 'grand empire''s defenses and tactics, and the most drawn-out, ridiculous final battle I may have ever seen on the screen. Teddy bears stoning to death military men in armor? Give me a break.
The one thing that may truly differentiate the two trilogies is the special effects department. The prequels have effects that look much more convincing to me. Now, Yoda actually shows emotion and 'acts' with believability. Do people who hold the first trilogy up so high honestly think a stiff, expressionless rubber muppet looks better? No, no, no . . . there is something wrong with the whole picture. All the films are equally ridiculous, but I still love them. I choose to love them despite their flaws, but let's not pretend they were the greatest films in cinema history; they simply weren't.
Now I'm all riled up, again. Maybe I'll go start a separate f**king topic about it!
