I guess people voting for the prequels is a joke since they prove the point that anything that GL touches except for the back story is crap.
The only joke in this thread is that remark.

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).

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.

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.
Until Indy 4 comes out . . .
