MOVIE TRILOGIES

Today’s Top 10 was done with the help of Koz. We have the Top Ten Trilogies (movies) of all time.

A few ground rules: movie series with more than three films (HARRY POTTER, ROCKY, BATMAN) were not considered. And since there are only two GODFATHER films (they never made the third), that wasn’t considered either.

Honorable Mention: BACK TO THE FUTURE, MAD MAX, JURASSIC PARK, NAKED GUN

The Top Ten Movie Trilogies (first in series linked)

#10 EVIL DEAD – “Gimme some sugar, baby.”

#9 EL MARIACHI – You put Selma Hayek naked and we’ll put your trilogy in here too.

#8 DIE HARD – “Yippee-ki-yay, Mother of Top Ten Reader.”

#7 TERMINATOR – I have to tell you the funniest joke in the world: Arnold buys Maria an antique French Horn for her birthday, but she doesn’t know anything about music. Trying to be a good sport, she says, “Oh, Arnold, it’s a great tuba!” To which he replies, “It’s not a Tuba!”

#6 – TROIS COLOURS – For me to put a French trilogy in here, you know it has to be good

#5 MATRIX – “I’m number 5: Whoa!”

#4 INDIANA JONES – one time Koz and I had to write a paper comparing RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK to VERTIGO. You try doing that.

#3 STAR WARS EPISODES 1-3 – You’d think if nothing else, Yoda would have noticed the “Empire” music every time Palpatine showed up. (Koz had this at #5)

#2 LORD OF THE RINGS – Next time you watch THE TWO TOWERS, and the Ents attack Isengard, impress all your friends by yelling out, “Run Forest, Run!”

and…

#1 STAR WARS EPISODES 4-6 - What can we say? It’s the Holy Trilogy.
