LOTR? Are you guys kidding? All the movies haven't been released yet, and the first two left much to be desired, FOTR is the only movie where I actually fell asleep in the theater. Star Wars hands down is #1. It totally changed the way movies were made and the overall story is far superior. Godfather would be 2nd, then Indiana Jones a close 3rd.

really? can you tell me why u think it's bad? what is left to be desired? because i honestly can't understand how ppl can say that it's bad. really i just find the two movies so good i cannot understand how ppl can find it bad, u know, do u understand what i'm trying to say?
i mean it's not perfect, there are certainly someparts that could still be improved, but it's still one of the best movies ever made, certainly the best triology, to me anyway.
anyway i just want to know why you find it so bad that you actually "fall asleep".

too many fan boys in here.............their voting is based purely on what their personal favorite is right now, not which is the best.
Will Lord of the Rings or the Matrix still have a huge cult following 15-20 or even 25 years from now? I don't think so. Star Wars and Indiana Jones have both accomplished this. Back to the Future still stands strong after 18 years.......even though both sequels left much to be desired.
yeah star wars is without a doubt the best best trilogy. No Movie or movies have spawned a greater fanbase and following. The fans span the entire world, except maybe for some third world countries. Star wars not only did so much for fans, but also the movie industry.
I;m sure LOTR will live on to be one of the best trilogies. The attention and loyalty it has summoned within it's short existence is astounding. However some of this popularity was aided in the 60 year release of the novels, so this in my opinion makes the LOTR trilogy void of ever being considered for the ranks of best trilogy, regaurdless of how great the movies are. It may very well one day have a following as broad as the star wars movies. This is because it appeals to so many people.
My favorite thuogh is Indiana jones. These movies i would say make the arguably best trilogy. They lack the fanbase and loyalty of star wars so they obviously will never win.
I believe that that most memorable trilogies in 30 years will live on to be Star Wars, LOTR, and the matrix. Lottr and the matrix are pretty much neck and neck when it comes to popularity. I think both movies are very well made. However the LOTR lacks one thing the matrix doesnt. This is, a new innovative way in movie making. The matrix has inspired a new way to make action, sci/fi movies. It was the first movie that took on a risk in shooting two movies at ounce for a double release in the same year. If the matrix is not rememberd for the greatness that it is, it will be remembered for it's achievments. Besides LOTR and the matrix have pretty much the same amount of anticipation, and fanbse at the momment. the fact they are being released so closely to each other will gaurentee both of there memories to live on together. There has not been a bigger event in movie history than the years of the matrix and LOTR.

Personally, I just thought they were boring. No offense to anyone who enjoys these movies, but I think they are overrated. I'm sure some people dislike SW and thats fine, movies are what you get out of them, not what other people think. I want to be entertained by a great story and I believe George Lucas is the greatest storyteller of our generation, if not all time. As for the "fanboy" comment by 'Evil dead', I'm not sure if thats supposed to be a negative attack. I enjoy SW but I don't worship the ground of the people invovled with it, I just think they are some of the greatest movies ever made.
PS-While talking about trilogies I can't believe nobody has brought up one of the greats, the New Jeresy Trilogy(Clerks, Mallrats, and Chasing Amy) by Kevin Smith.

do you really believe the jersey trilogy is BEST trilogy material? I myself am a kevin smith fan and have been from the beggining, but there is just no way it can be considered best trilogy. Maybe best trilogy in the comedy genre. If that is the case it takes the cake

I personally think the godfather is the best trilogy...but i havent seen to second LOTR....which i heard was better than the first....i may change my mind after i seen it though
hmmm i'm a LOTR fanatic but honestly it doesn't belong in that list YET!!.
ROtk isn't out yet so wait a few months and then post again...........same goes for matrix.
But of allllll time Star wars and the godfather rule......Two completely different genres but both really good.
And pls dont say Sw isn't a trilogy..........when people talk bout Star wars u KNOW they are talking bout episodes 4, 5,6...........i dont even consider 123.

What about the Romero zombie trilogy ? I'd certainley rank that amongst one of the best trilogies ever and not just in a horror aspect,which seems to be lacking from the poll,although speaking of the poll its still to close to call as im a big fan of both The Star Wars Trilogy and The Indiana Jones Trilogy both are masterpieces in there respective genres. Terminator is also another excellent franchise but not in a trilogy sense but rather a 'sequel' sense - the third one was uncalled for and quite frankly 'mucked' up a perfectly good basis as began by Terminator 1 and carried through in Terminator 2:Judgement Day.
Indiana Jones and Star Wars, cos they didnt stray from the original and were all equally good (which is rare with trilogies). Matrix two was crap, hence thats not on my list. LOTR is definately up there. Terminator was let down by T3. Yeah id go with Indy and Star Wars (OT)
