Poll coming up

What's the best movie franchise.

Do you like Sergio Leone's "Dollars/Man with no name" trilogy? Or are you A fan of "The Godfathers?"

Is the "Star Wars" franchise your thing? Or maybe you like the "Indian Jones" franchise.

"Back to the future" was a popular trilogy, as was "The Terminator" But the lesser known Linklater "Before" trilogy is well respected too.

The 21st century has produced some good ones, with The Matrix, The Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean. Not to mention "The Bourne" trilogy and Nolan's Batman Triogy.

I'll also add Toy Story and Avengers to the poll.

I suppose I better add "Scream" to the poll for the slasher movie fans.

[Kate!]

Star Wars and Back To The Future.

[Alf]

I've gone for Lord of the rings, because even though I prefer Godfather part 1 and 2, the 3rd doesn't reach the standards. Whereas All 3 LOR are solid and probably just pip the Original Star Wars.

Back to the futer

[Oliver_W]

There's a difference between "best" and "favourite", I think Matrix is the best.

[Calderyon]

1. Lord of the Rings (3 absolutely solid movies)

2. Dollars (3 absolutely solid movies)

3. Indiana Jones (1st one was great, 2nd one was pretty OK and 3rd one was good)

4. Star Wars (1st: Good, 2nd: Great, 3rd: Decent)

5. Back to the Future (1st movie was good, 2nd movie was also good and 3rd one was good until Clara arrived, then it turned to pretty crap)

6. Dark Knight (1st one was fine, 2nd one was awesome, 3rd was fine)

7. Pirates of the Caribbean (3 pretty solid movies)

8. Matrix (First one was great, second one was fine and third one was OK)

9. Bourne (3 solid movies, but it's being re-run way too much)

10. Alien (2 good movies, 1 mediocre)

11. Terminator (2 good movies, 1 mediocre)

12. Toy Story (All OK)

13. Scream (All OK)

--------------

Avengers (have not watched all of them)
Godfather (have not watched all of them)
Hannibal Lecter (have not watched all of them)
Before (Never watched)

And what's your favourite?

[Tony Montana]

Rings trilogy by far! All 3 films are masterpieces.

The Dark Knight Trilogy is a close second.

[Tony Montana]

Most of these aren't even trilogies.

I'm counting Star Wars and Indiana Jones as their original trilogies, not counting the later films. So most are trilogies. And I did mention in the OP that there are some that surpassed a trilogy.

Then it shouldn't be called 'best movie trilogy' since most of these surpass a trilogy.

Should've just called it 'best movie franchise' or something.

But it's no biggie.

It's make believe, just go with it.

"Franchise" is a modern term in the movie industry, "Trilogy" is more old school, and I'm afraid I'm a bit of a traditionalist, sorry about that.

but star wars and avengers(MCU) are a franchise. Star wars has 3 trilogys though so you could have added all 3 of them (original,prequel and sequel) and Avengers well there's 4 films called Avengers plus the other movies they did (solo movies) but no biggie.

Yes but you didn't have to tbh

I think I enjoyed Pirates of the Caribbean the most out of all of them.

[Oliver_W]

But there are only two Terminator and Alien films? There are also two Star Wars trilogies

ETA: and only one Godfather film. The third.

The Hunger Games is my favourite movie franchise

[Cal.]

Halloween franchise is my favourite but Scream is by far the most consistent.

[Toy Soldier]

Out of those BTTF easily. Though I'd give nods to Matrix, LOTR and Avengers .

The one that frustrates me is Terminator - I think it has the potential to be an AMAZING franchise - but since T2 it's ranged from "not quite getting it right" to "just awful". The world creation and lore are fantastic. The execution though, just can't seem to hit the nail on the head.

[Niamh.]

As a complete series LOTRs and Avengers.

Eh?

[Nicky91]

Alien is actually a Quadrilogy, not a trilogy

but yes that one is my favourite franchise, besides Jurassic Park/World, and i also recently enjoyed watched all of the hunger games movies


if i gotta rank alien movies

1. Alien (first one is the best yep)
2. Aliens (good sequel, more alien action scenes, good acting, nice storytelling)
3. Alien Resurrection (especially loved Brad Dourif's role in this too)
4. Alien 3 (not bad but bit too much storytelling, took too long before any major alien action)
