Of the ones mentioned, I think Lord of the Rings was the better trillogy. Star wars is no longer what I consider a trillogy, and most other 'trillogies' I can think of do not come up to that particular scale. Of course, Trillogy here I only refer to movies in sets of 3, there are many other movie 'legacies' out there that I would think of as better.

James Bond is a series of movies featuring the same character(s), but each one capable of stadning alone. A trilogy is a sequence of three movies that advance a storyline from one movies to the next.

It's hard to pick a "best" trilogy, because it's difficult to compare different genres against each other. I think the trilogies listed are among the best (and I agree that Star Wars doesn't qualify - though I love the movies), for different reasons, but I would also add:

The Matrix
Indiana Jones (at least until another one comes out)
Ocean's Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen

I went with the original trilogy for Star Wars. However, Pirates of the Caribbean is a close second.

Lord of the Rings all the way for me. I think the first POTC movie was great, but I wasn't as interested in the other two. Have never even seen any of the Spiderman movies.

Bourne Identity has been another good series (though not nearly the epic adventure of any of those listed above that I've seen).

Spidey is one of me favorite comic series, and I also love its media triology. Though, I do admit Spidey 3 was a bit overacted.

Pirates of the Caribbean was a wonderful trilogy by Jerry Bruckheimer. Though is soon to be trilogy "National Treasure" was much more amazing. Cant wait for the third movie in the series, it is going to be called "National Treasure: Page 47".

Oh, this was hard. Pirates of the Caribbean was my pick but the others called out to me as well.

I choose Pirates because it's very original and easier to follow than Lord of the Rings or a few other choices in this poll. Pirates pretty much has all the genres covered as well as a bit of history. Overall, great poll, but Pirates chooses my heart.

I'm surprised there aren't as many Pirates of the Caribbean voters as there is.

Post Fav Trilogy

Geez, thats a toss up for me. My first inclination is Star Wars Episode 4-6. As I tried to rationalize my thoughts I came to realize that POTC 1-3 and SW 4-6 aren't that different. Black Pearl and A New Hope are very similar. They can both stand alone, are great movies, and make you want more. Empire is soooo much better than Dead Man's Chest. Sorry, it is. At World's End is better than Jedi. I think the Ewoks kill any chance for Jedi. There are so many plot maps and similarities as both triliogies go along. Oh...SW 1-3. Different trilogy. Can't group them with 4-6. I guess my vote would have to go with the "Other" because there is no option for the two I have chosen. I guess if you had a gun to my head I would have to choose SW 4-6.

Though, before this May, how come Indiana Jones didn't get a sniff in this survey?
