what is the greatest movie trilogy of all time?

Easy! The Bourne Trilogy. It's smart, sexy, funny, and action-packed. The started off with a bang, and finished the series wonderfully. It may not have had the media exposure that Pirates of the Caribbean had, but it was comprised of much better movies overall.

I agree with D M that Indiana Jones, before adding a fourth, was one of the greatest movie trilogies in Hollywood history.

Just because George Lucas screwed up on Episodes 1-3, don't penalize three of the greatest films ever made. Star Wars is the greatest trilogy.

That last movie in "Godfather" was horrible, Coppola's daughter is better behind the camera. POTC ending was ambiguous, leaving the door open to other movies. And "The Matrix", that whole scene with the architect, what was that about? Liked LOTR, but not as much as Star Wars.

Hold on now folks.

4.The Godfather is too long. Each part is about four hours each.

5.The Bourne Triologies are good but the frist two are too complicated at first. You have to see more than one before you understand it.

6. The first two Matrix movies were great but the third had a dissapointing ending.

1. The Lord of the Ring was good in each set. it got better with each movie and had a good endig. Everything was explained perfectly, unlike Matrix and the Bourne movies.

3. Pirates of the Caribean trillogy surprised me. I didn't even think they'd come with a 2nd one but I loved all three. Anyone can enjoy them.

2. Harry Potter, now its not really a trilogy, but these are very very good movies.

7. The Ocean's 11,12,13. Sauve, they are all good, really good, but it got worse with each one. Even though, again, they are all good.

The Bourne trilogy was pretty good. Godfather I and II were awesome (of course), but the third one wasn't up to that standard. For my money the only trilogy that kept getting better and better with each film was the Terminator trilogy. They really made the whole time travel/judgment day scenario play out so it made sense (at least to me.)

the colors Trilogy directed by utilising Krzysztof Kie?lowski "Blue" "White" "crimson" The Pusher Trilogy directed by utilising Winding Refn those movies are each and everything Tarantino wanted his movies could desire to be. Hardcore and brutal look into the lives of drug sellers. "Pusher" "Pusher II: With Blood on my palms" "Pusher 3: i'm the Angel of loss of existence" And, of direction, in all probability the terrific trilogy of all time: The Apu Trilogy" directed by utilising Satyajit Ray it somewhat is epic and sweeping, the 1st action picture exchange into produced for something like 3,000 money...yeah you examine that appropriate 3 thousand...and that they are many times suggested as a number of the terrific videos of all time. it somewhat is incredible that individuals will record silliness like famous guy or woman Wars /The Matrix or uninteresting obtrusive possibilities like the Godfather or perhaps the extremely undesirable like Pirates of the Carribean/Spider-guy, 3,000 money would not conceal 5 minutes of taking photographs of any of those possibilities(3,000 probable would not conceal Toby McGuire's blended espresso beverages). Ray has shown what a real artist and skill can do with the medium of action picture. without venture incredible stuff. "Pather Panchali" "Aparajito" "Apur Sansar"

The Matrix - Great action, unique premise, astounding special effects, good characters in Laurence Fishburn, and Jada Pinkett Smith and for once Keanu Reves deadpan delivery actually works.

To take Star Wars off the table as an answer leaves the rest of your question invalid and unanswerable.

However I do have to agree with many of the responses. It seems like nobody has enough story left to tell when they get to the third movie of a trilogy.

Pirates of the Carribean 'cause you got three amazingly great actors who make the story awesome!!! it's hilarious like hell and lots of action scenes. the sword fights are pretty cool. the commador (spelling?) Norrington guy is good too. best ever!!!!!lallalalallaaaa! hehe!

The Godfather

Back to the Future

Before #4 came out, Indiana Jones was one of them.
