Now that I think about it, I don't think there's ever been a trilogy where I enjoyed all three of the movies:
-Like most people, I loved The Godfather I and II, but hated III.
-I like Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade, but wasn't too high on the Temple of Doom.
-I loved the first Jurassic Park, but hated the other two.
-I loved the first two Austin Power movies, but not the third.
-Loved the first two Naked Gun movies, but not the third.
-I loved Desperado and Once Upon a Time in Mexico, but El Mariachi didn't appeal to me that much.
-I liked the first Matrix, but not the other two so much.
-I enjoyed The Two Towers and Return of the King, but thought the Fellowship of the Ring was boring.
-I liked the first and third Die Hard movies, but I really didn't like the second one.
OH WHEN DOES IT STOP?? I wonder, will there EVER be a trilogy where I enjoy all three movies equally?
Can anyone recommend a trilogy (besides the ones I mentioned) where they think all three of the movies are equally excellent?

Lord of the Rings, hands down (and I haven't even seen ROTK yet).
Star Wars trilogy, easily. My favorite and always will be.

Indiana Jones, Starwars and LOTR are the three trilogys which i like all of the movies in them
I still havnt seen the third back to the future but this could be one that I enjoy all of them.
Looks like there is no love for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Star Wars Original Trilogy -Episodes IV, V and VI
Lord of the Rings
I have always enjoyed the OT even with the Ewoks at the end with Jedi. They weren't my favorite part of that film, but there was so much much more to that film that made up for it.
As for the LOTR. What can you say about film perfection. I originally was sceptical, but after seeing the first film I prayed that the rest would follow through and it ultimately exceeded my expectations. I now have hope for King Kong and pray that it will again be a Jackson masterpiece.

Pasolini's 'Trilogy of Life' films: The Decameron, The Canterbury Tales, and Arabian Nights. Recently bought the import Box set of this, because MGM who ever owns the latter two, hasn't released these stateside on DVD.
seen the first film in the Apu Trilogy from director Satyajit Ray; Pather Panchali which is amazing. Bought the Artifical Eye Trilogy DVD for a steal from Amazon.co.uk for £8.49 (they massively mispriced it - to my advantage).
Infernal Affairs Trilogy - the third is flawed, but entertaining nonetheless. I and II are great.

Man, that's harsh, especially coming from someone who claims to be a Star Wars fan.
