Yeah, Lucas did a terrible job with Star Wars, American Graffiti, and THX1138. I guess the first two being nominated for Best Picture and Best Director awards means they're crap. -rolleyes-

The only joke in this thread is that remark.

Indiana Jones.

I was never that big a Star Wars fan

Good choice. I though we were supposed to choose just one, but I'd also put Indy as a Holy trilogy. I could also put LOTR based on quality, but I find it to be a little on the tedious and boring side. Liked TTT quite a bit though.

I voted for Star Wars 4-6 and where is Aliens trilogy and the Mad Max trilogy?them are some other favs of mine.

Its hard to expect much out of a shoe salesman :lol:

There are four Alien films, hence not a trilogy. :)

I am SHOCKED (upon further reflection, I am not, but I was initially) that Godfather was not the overwhelming winner of this poll.

The Godfather trilogy (even given the relative weakness of #3) is the best trilogy (IMHO) although I would say that Lord of the Rings is already my favorite.

I would venture to say that most people answered this question from the POV of favorite, rather than best.

I mean, where is Brando in Star Wars? (tee off on Jabba jokes here).

My favorite is always the best.

The Lord of the Rings, easily.

The Godfather. Come on now, this isn't even close.

I voted for Back to the Future because its my favorite.

i must be among the few people in existance that doesn't think the godfather trilogy is a work of art........didn't really do anything for me

and how can you vote for LOTR without seeing the end..........if it where LOTR: Extended Editions up until now i'd vote there, TTT EE was a lot better than i expected

Indiana Jones without question. Star wars isnt a trilogy.. its a...errr...sextulogy? whatever. Lord of the Rings is ONE book and ONE movie... split into 3 parts... so it aint a trilogy either. The matrix "trilogy" is 2 films, the second of which was split in half for verious $ reasons.

of the remaining true trilogies, Indy is clearly the man.

Hexalogy, I believe . . . and, as I think someone already pointed out in another thread, the Alien Quadrilogy is actually a Tetralogy.Until Indy 4 comes out . . . :D


And don't forget . . . with Mission Impossible 3 coming, we've got another one to be considered. :lol:

didnt someone find a dictionary listing for the word Quadrilogy? seem to remember it coming up in another thread... at any rate tetralogy would be the classic word to use, the greeks used it for the purpose of naming a series of 4 plays so it seems to be appropriate for this use also. English is a great language though in that it is expandable and ever-growing. Creating words like "Quadrilogy" is fine, and who knows it may even become a common useage outside the Alien/DVD realm. If the word "doh" can be in the Oxford dictionary... why not.

not sure on the hexalogy thing... dictionary.com doesnt list either one.. though they do have sextolet and define it as "A double triplet" which seems especially appropriate with respect to star wars. There is also sextuple, which is to "multiply by six". Naturally, we all know that "hex" refers to six as well, as in hexagon... but my dictionary shows no other hex-words that are related to what we are talking about.

very true, cant wait either! IMO, scientists should quit messing with the human genome and stuff and start working on the most realistic computer model ever... a model of harrison ford as indiana jones... that way long after harrison ford is gone, they can still keep making indy movies. lol!!! :D

How can we forget..........................





The Sleepaway Camp Trilogy!!!! :lol::lol::lol::lol:

I picked SW OT for favorite and ol' time sake.

But I considered LOTR and "Other" for the Trinity/Nobody films.

Yeah . . . I was continuing the whole Greek thing with tetra- and hexa-. There is actually an interesting link here that covers the Greek numbers/prefixes. It also has a link to the Latin ones (which is where the quadri- and sexa- would likely be from . . . or at least bastardizations of Latin :D ).

coolness. guess Im more roman than greek. makes sense, I was in the military for a while, Id never wear a sheet, and Im not into gay manlove. lol!!! ;)
