If you're being picky about it, then you mean septology:
Again, it was originally only conceived as a trilogy, but later expanded due to demand IIRC.

At the time I read the first 5 books, the last two hadn't come out yet, and I read the last two quite a while afterwards...
Thank you for the correction!

1&2 almost make a good trilogy on their own if you think about it. 2 was two movies in one!
However, LotR defeats it hands down. And that's a FACT JACK!
Unless, of course, we're talking about the Police Academy movies. They exceeded a trilogy, but they were life-changing movies! Or Rocky. Who could forget "Clubber Lang"???? I ask you that?

LotR is like everything else. It is another epic, another G&E. More template, more three-squares of movie going consumption. Frodo is Neo/Luke/Elliot from ET/etc. It is better than many mainstream movies. It might be the peak at t

I stand by LotR because I'm such a nutcase Tolkien fan and to see it all come to life like that--even if it was more the essence of the books than the books themselves. To me, LotR was incredibly more of a challenge to make in so many senses than the Godfather. The Godfather had a great story, but it wasn't anything that complicated. I LOVE the Godfather, it's just that I think the challenges of m

Even movies that are adaptations of books I like (say Ellis' work) I usually hang closer to the film side. I love American Psycho but it comes a lot from Christian Bale (I've been a Balehead for a while), Josh Lucas, Chloë Sevigny, and Mary Harron. Same with Rules of Attraction: Roger

For this I'd suggest Martin Scorsese's two documentaries. A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese through American Movies and My Voyage to Italy. Both are very long, but touch on movies important to him. He talks about seeing them as a child, his mother's reaction. What he saw in them. Some are Big Important Movies... some are b-movie cast o

The horror! The horror! I'm starting to remember that there were others.
I treat highlander the same as the matrix 'trilogy'. The first one counted. The other 2 (or however many) just suck.
The Evil Dead "trilogy" wasn't on the list, so I'm not voting.

Somehow movie trilogies don't come up to the same high mark - I'll have to think further on why I feel that way.
