Greateast Trilogies of all Time

So this lady thinks. Hint OT gets the shaft.

Number eight eh? I've been hearing Star Wars refrenced in pop and political culture far far far more than the film trilogy that came in number seven (I didn't even bother to read what came in six through one).

Anyway Star Wars isn't a trilogy it a six film saga. So to heck with whoever wrote this nonsense.

Matrix Sux. Bill S. Preston Esq. vs. Elrond what a stupid jackass comedy this has been. Keauna Reeves is the worst actor to appear in so many big films. His voice sound like a ten year old trying to sound more manly to impress a Junior High School girl. What a baffoon. I haven't seen the third one yet and I'm in no hurry to do so. I don't care if I never see it. He should go back to Bill and Ted. It was the only thing he was ever good in. He's a horrible actor. Horrible. Horrible. Worse than Patrick Swayze or Richard Geere, and I can't stand either of them.

The Lord of the Rings was a great story written by J.R.R. Tolkien. Peter Jackson's rip off of it has been shallow and insensitive to the original fans.

Star Wars Rules. #1 by a long shot.

Hmmm, I've never even heard of a few of those trilogies. Oh well, though I do think that SW and LOTR should have been closer to number one.

 

Hmm as said above i dont even recall most of those trilogies ever made and i agree with that SW and LOTR should be higher on the list.


But why oh why is Indiana Jones missing? It would have been for me on number 2 with SW 1 and 3 lotr.

 

Holy cow, you're right about Indy not being on that list. Get rid of Night of the Living dead trilogy (trilogy? pfft) and put Indy on that list!

 

It's hard to take any of these "lists" seriously anymore, but this has to be a joke. Evil Dead and Mad Max over Star Wars. Yeah, okay.

I don't think LOTR should be there because ROTK isn't out yet.

From the article: The latest offering is the "Indiana Jones" series, snuggled neatly into a package that helps us forget the first and second films were sub-par.

Raiders was sub-par?

Can't really argue with The Godfather or The Man With No Name. Personally, my list would be different but the same goes for everyone else.

 

No Indiana Jones? No Back to the Future?

That list is a joke.

 

Whoa there EV. The Dead Trilogy is one of the crowning achievments of horror, and Dawn of the Dead is felt by many (including myself) to be the greatest horror film of all time.

If you're going to get rid of a trilogy on there, it should be Mad Max.

Oh, and if anyone hasn't seen the Three Colors or Apu trilogies, I highly recommend them.

 

Jesus, that lady is harsh! "If you're a true Star Wars fan, or if you understand what a good movie is...". Must be one of those "I'm a critic so my opinion is fact!" people. What's really funny is that, after implying that the OT are good movies, she says "chock full of bad acting."

That really was one of the worst "top 10" I have ever read.

Wow, that was really bad.

Indy should have been on there, as with Back to the Future, and both CT and LOTR should have been closer to number 1, behind The Godfather trilogy of course.

 

Let's see.

The OT makes it on as an afterthought, and the author just whines about it and bashes ROTJ.
The PT doesn't make it on at all.
Back to the Future gets the shaft, as does Indiana Jones.

But there's room for Mad Max?

// ignores silly article from this point forward



Rick McCallum loves you!

 

Can somebody please explain the popularity of the Evil Dead series to me? I honestly would like to know why it is on this list. I saw Army of Darkness recently, and wanted to chuck my television out the window

Frankly, I think this list is terrible. Star Wars at #8? No mention of Indiana Jones or Back to the Future?

I think it's time we all revolted against top ten lists. They suck

 

Like ever one else has said Where is Indiana Jones and Back to the Future?

 

im an Evil Dead fan, but to place them above Star Wars is an atrocity. And i am appalled at the lack of Indiana Jones, Die Hard, Back to the Future, The Matrix, and a personal favorite, The Rambo Trilogy. Some of those may not be too deserving. But, critics are dumb. i mean the Godfather trilogy? I was bored out of my mind. i didn't get through 2. LOTR number 10? Way better than DOA and Mad Max.

The Lord of the Rings was a great story written by J.R.R. Tolkien. Peter Jackson's rip off of it has been shallow and insensitive to the original fans.

I'm gonna have to disagree here. I think it was a well played movie. Sure some things were taken out like Tom Bombadill and the presentation of gifts to the fellowship from Galadriel. But those are minor, in retrospect. Tolkien's family didn't object to his adaptation. i think PJ did an excellent job, and to do a masterful job, we'd still be watching The Fellowship of the Ring.

 

that was classic.

 

Well, I don't know. She didn't accuse Harrison Ford of being a bad actor. She can't be all bad...

And come on, who doesn't want to see an Ewok run into a tree? I wouldn't mind it all that much.

As for the OT being #8 on the list, now that's B******t.

 

I love horror movies and am glad to see not one but two classic series get recognition on the same level as the original SW trilogy. The original Evil Dead remains my favorite Raimi movie (even if you're not a fan of the movie, if you like Star Wars you ought to at least be able to sympathize with a "bad movie" being GREAT).

For anyone upset: what can I say? Sorry Star Wars doesn't win absolutely every accolade possible all the time? How can you even criticize if you haven't seen the movies (I've seen Dead or Alive 2; not a shabby movie at all but a little "difficult"). Or is this just supposed to be a popularity contest? It still beat Lord of the Rings and The Matrix didn't even make the cut (thank heaven).

 

I absolutely love the EVIL DEAD series (I'd say ED2 is one of my most favorite movies), but I can't believe they ranked it higher than SW.

Then again, this is by a movie critic, a species I've learned to ignore over the years.

 

Raiders Of The Lost Ark is 'below par'? Huh? Yeah, Temple Of Doom was crap, but Raiders was at least equal to The Last Crusade, if not better...

 

I agree that Back to the Future and Indy should have been on the list. But on the other hand I have agree with the number one choice.

The Man With No Name Trilogy is totally awesome, and like a true trilogy the third film is the greatest.

The Good the Bad and the Ugly is my favourite film after A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back.

 

Different people have different opinions... this whole thing is so not a big deal it's absolutely staggering.

I don't think you can make a list like this and have it be really meaningful anyway, whether or not you're a film critic.

 

Critics are so stupid!!!!
On that list besides SW and LOTR I had never even heard of those movies. And Star Wars 8? What the heck.... And how dare them say that TPM and AOTC were terrible and we should forget them. The article says if you like the new ones you are not a true SW fan.

Critics? Who need them?
