Finished LOTR (theatrical) Blu Rays last night. It's a strong trilogy. But I feel I won't need to re-watch them again for awhile. So I guess it's best that the extended BR doesn't come out for awhile.

My chief complaint is the same as when I originally saw the movies. Too much crying.

Overall rating: 3rd best movie trilogy (that i have seen) ever.
Original Star Wars flicks (I'm guessing) and...?

nope
:p

Best trilogies are Star Wars, The Godfather, Man with no name, and Indiana Jones(fuck the Crystal Skull).

Man with no name, sure. that could go up there.

My personal list

1.Infernal Affairs trilogy
2. Man with No Name
3. Vengeance Trilogy
4. LOTR
5. Star Wars original trilogy, obviously.

more than 3 movies disqualifies you from this list making process
:p

Godfather is a duology  as far as I'm concerned, also there were no Matrix sequels.
:p

The Brain

Joan of Arc.

It was OK, I have seen worse movies. Of course a real actress in the main role would have been better but Milla isn't completely incompetent. The movie combines my interests in the Late Middle Ages and chicks with short hair. This is good.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

The Blind Side, great movie, tearjerker.
Grand Duke of Lurkdom

DisturbedPervert

Watched Law Abiding Citizen.  About a dude who's wife and 5 year old daughter get murdered in front of him while he's tied up and he seeks revenge.  Started off standard revenge spoogefest but ended horribly.  It's like Batman forgot to lock up the Batcave and the Joker just walked in

If Star Wars 4-6 is a trilogy, so is Indiana Jones. Both are cases where they tried to cash in with more films after nearly two decades.

Also, this supports your notion that Godfather is not a trilogy.

I've tried watching the Godfather a few times. Its just...dull. I like some slow paced films but the Godfather just sends me to sleep

nope. the prequel star warses are an abomination not really a trilogy. but I have no problem removing 4-6 from the list entirely. they are only there for nostalgia on my part.

Maybe I need to find more trilogies. The problem being that often after the 3rd one if the franchise is still making money they keep going until it does become unfeasible.

There are very few actual trilogies out there.
:p
