The Godfather Saga
To this day I believe this is the only trilogy that
never lost steam . . . each story was told with perfection, three stand alone
movies that could be easily ranked in the top 100 films ever made.
Star Wars (original trilogy) - Chapter 4, 5, 6
I admit the acting was not the greatest and if you
watch them in sequence you will find that RETURN OF THE JEDI really falls out
compared to the first two. However, I ranked it number two because of what the
trilogy as a whole meant to the industry. Like the Matrix, and very recently
the film Avatar, Star Wars was groundbreaking and change the way films are
made.
The Lord of the Rings
The Lord of the Rings makes my list because it
stayed true to the story. The funny thing about LOR, and Star Wars is they both
flip flop. Fellowship, was a very very lon . . . oops very very long
introduction but The Twin Towers, and Return of the King made it worthwhile. Of
the three I think LOR did the best character development, there are not a lot
of characters in the LOR trilogy that you don't know their story (hence why
"Fellowship" seems soooooooo long).
