When it comes to a series of films that are part of a trilogy, the series usually loses steam by the third movie. There are not a whole lot of franchises that have pulled off a successful trilogy, but when it happens, it is a thing of beauty for both audiences and the studios which profit.
But that is not to say there have not been some fantastic trilogies over the years. Here are some of the greatest ones.
Any list of movie trilogies would have to include Indiana Jones. My personal favorite is The Temple Of Doom, but many people swear by Raiders Of The Lost Ark as their favorite film from this franchise. Even twenty years after it was completed, this film was able to release a fourth installment, which made serious money.
Even if you are not a fan of fantasy, The Lord Of The Rings films have something for everyone. The character of Gollum in itself was a revolution in CGI. Apparently there is a set of Hobbit films in the works as well.
Also starring Harrison Ford is the Star Wars Saga. The first three Star Wars films have grossed over a billion dollars and has led to several spin offs. The films were so successful that over thirty years later, George Lucas could not resist making another set (albeit less successful) of Star Wars films.
Yes, The Godfather films make the list as well. The Corleone family has a special place in the hearts of film enthusiasts. The first two films are Francis Ford Coppolla's masterpieces (along with Apocalypse Now).
Even though the last film did everything in its power to ruin the series, I feel an unexplainable loyalty to the Matrix films. I can't argue that they do not touch any other set of films on this list, but nonetheless, I love them!
With so many superhero films constantly being released, there will no doubt be more trilogies in years to come. But will any live up to these aforementioned movie trilogies? Maybe Avatar.
