best all time movie and/or trilogy?

I happen to be a movie addict - there was a time when I’d watch around 8 movies a weekend - my friends thought I was crazy!

Anyways just for curiosity's sake what’s the best movie and/or trilogy you guys have ever seen? I have listed out according to genre as well... you could do the same if you want to


Trilogy - The Godfather
Drama - The Shawshank redemption
Science Fiction - the Matrix
Comedy -
Thriller - Memento
Action - Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Horror - The silence of the lambs
Dark Humour - Pirates of the Caribbean (I added this genre for fun coz I thought this deserved a place)
Fantasy - Lord of the Rings - Return of the King
Chick Flick - While you were sleeping
Old movie - Roman holiday (it was a toss up between this and Casablanca)
Animated movie - Shrek


It’s too difficult to choose the best of all from what I’ve chosen here but if I absolutely had to choose the very best it would be the shawshank redemption! (With the godfather coming a close second :))

Lord of the rings, Matrix, Red Dragon, Euro Trip.... There are many good movies out there... too many to name.

Lord of the rings :D

is Jurassic Park considered a trilogy? :confused:

Highlander
Lethal weapon 1-4
Jeepers creepers 2
Pirates of the caribbean
gone in 60 seconds
Swat
Underworld
Blade 1 & 2
Out cold
13 ghosts
The italian job
Along came a spider
X-men 1 & 2
The Bourne Identity
Tremors 1 & 2
Terminator 1- 3

That is about all I can think of right now

The Lord of the Rings trilogy was kick ass I just watched a really good movie called 'the butterfly affect' which i thought was really good

Back to the future trilogy
Animatrix and Matrix trilogy
Dead Man on Campus
Road Trip

Thriller - Memento

*pffffftttt* .. Nothing is scarier than The Exorcist, IMHO. Although AFI still puts the classic Psycho as number 1.

Scarface, Good Fellas, Blow, Casino, Heat, The jackel.

Fav. Trilogy is lord of the rings of course... hobits and hit-men... interesting combo eh?

The Matrix, Matrix Reloaded, Back to the future trilogy, The Shining, 28 Days Later, Godfather Trilogy

I loved the original Star Wars and Indiana Jones (I know, campy humor) movies as a kid. (Although I am not too fond of the new episodes) I would have to say the Lord of the Rings is my favorite trilogy.

Lost in Translation, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Snatch, Lock Stock and Two smoking barrels, and once again, the godfather....


slick

The Matrix was brilliant but The Matrix reloaded didn't even come close to it. it was like such a disappointment comparatively. :(

I think that the reason for many people's dislike of later Matrix films comes from the lack of shock value that the first film gave, i like to look at the entire series as one wonderful story rather than comparing them against each other :)

any of Lars von Triers films/trilogys http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001885/

hmm, well several of my faves would inlcude the LOTR Trilogy, Titanic, The Rundown, the Harry Potter Trilogy and several others...actually too many to mention. :) As for the Matrix trilogy, i also enjoyed the three movies thoroughly...though i have to agree with sweetintrigue in one point...matrix reloaded lacked the hype that came with the original matrix. As a result, many were sorely disappointed by the "lack of action" that accompanied matrix reloaded. All in all however, the matrix trilogy was impressive in itself, its storyline guaranteeing its march straight up the box office hits. :cool:

What about Robin Hood, Men in Tights? Or Airplane? They're classics!

But to impress you with my movie knowledge, I will let you know that I love Catherine Deneuve, and highly recommend Belle de Jour (1967) and Indochine (1992).

Debbie Does Dallas is the best movie.

Theatrical - Chick Flick - Coyote Ugly
Comedy - The Shining
Drama - Smokey and the Bandit movies
