I feel like OP is baiting Star Wars fans and LoTR fans into a fight.


jcrewjr

It's really too bad the Godfather was only 2 movies.


GriffinFlash

Godfather 1, 2, and Goodfellas.


jcrewjr

That's the best trilogy of all time


Camiata2

Goodfellas and My Blue Heaven works better for the purpose of this exercise.


kanaka_maalea

Cuz you could melt all this stuff.


Camiata2

The "what's arugula? It's a vegetable" line absolutely kills me every time and I can't explain it.


Puzzled_6368

I saw it’s a vegetable and cuz you could melt all this stuff all the time to blanks stares. I’m so glad there is someone that’s got my back. One day we will meet and the world will be right. Thank you


Nice_Category

Right? And I thought The Matrix might have been good with a couple sequels, but probably best they didn't make any.


J0EMEGA

You know I was thinking the exact same thing with Alien and Aliens, they should make a 3rd!

But the real answer is back to the future

OK here's the first movie 🚶🏻‍♀️ and here's this second movie 🚶🏻‍♀️ and now here's the third movie 🚶🏻‍♀️💍🌋


YouGotMunsoned

Even the trees walked in those fuckin movies.


FifthMonarchist

Star Wars fan here. I WISH SW was as good as LOTR.


[deleted]

Yup. Big fan here too. Star Wars is the best movie series of all time, the only flaw it has is that most of the films really suck.


OvertGnome1

I loved them all individually, but as a series, we're missing a lot of important filler. LOTR is a straight forward and throughout adventure


TheBobDoleExperience

LOTR exclusively. The Hobbit was straightforward (and amazing) as a book, but as a movie trilogy...\*shudders\* Talk about filler.


cysghost

Like butter that's been scrapped over too much toast.


Dranzer_22

LOTR = Years of planning before they even start filming. The Hobbit = Literally making it up on the spot to the point Peter Jackson breaks down


MoonChild02

Yup. All because Guillermo del Toro needed a couple more months, and the studio wanted it done fast, not right.


Mental-Woodpecker300

Man, they wouldn't wait for del Toro?! I would have loved to see how it would have turned out with him at the wheel. 😩


ErusTenebre

The same thing seems to happen to him frequently - like studios seem to not GET that he's a fuckin' artist not a movie mill. So much so that [he has a Wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillermo_del_Toro%27s_unrealized_projects#3993) full of movies and games we're not going to get lol


therealhairykrishna

It makes me sad that I live in the universe that didn't get the Guillermo del Toro version.


VeterinarianFit1309

I recently heard someone say that you can tell someone is a really big Star Wars fan by how much they hate Star Wars.

Where’s Indiana Jones at. I’ll throw fists.

Fists! Why did it have to be fists?!

NCpartsguy

One of the few series where the third is the best entry.


annainlight

You chose…wisely.


Thendofreason

The Increasingly Inaccurately Named Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy trilogy.


cohonan

My favorite thing about Hitchikers Guide is that it’s been a book, radio play, tv show, movie, video game, and in every instance Douglas Adams’ changed the story a little bit, so there isn’t any “canon”.


iced1777

I know very little about the man but that sounds like exactly something he'd do


NetDork

In the forward to one of the book collections he straight up said that every time The Guide gets put into a new medium, it has to be changed a bit.


levmeister

Ha I have the trilogy in book form, it looks exactly like a bible when I have it open; gold leaf and everything. The number of people who have asked me if I'm reading 'the Good Book' while toting it around is astonishing. I always just respond: "yeah, hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy," and the look on their faces I swear.


evil_timmy

TBH if more religious texts had DON'T PANIC written in huge print on the back cover, we'd be living in a far better, less fear-driven world.


Frap_Gadz

Imagine a world where we all know where our towel is.


Future_Jared

We'd all be hoopy froods


ItIsHappy

I read that book religiously growing up, so the cover always felt appropriate. Literally once per year though all of high-school.


norml329

I have a Vonnegut collection like that, and someone on the train asked me if I was reading the bible. The girl next to me (who knew it was his work) said "well it might as well be to some people". Wish I got her number lol


Billy_droptables

Oh man, he's a personal hero of mine, early adopter of the internet, huge tech nerd, hilarious writer, genuinely good dude who didn't take life seriously. I have a banner in my office with my favorite quote of his, "I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by." Cannot say my PMs love that one. Would absolutely recommend reading his works.


Beragond1

That’s just because of the infinite improbability changing things


mrchaotica

I like how the fact that it's only ever been a book trilogy, not a film trilogy, means the inaccuracy continues to increase.


LeCriDesFenetres

It actually checks out. 5 books, one movie, averages at 3.

Home Alone Home Alone 2 The good Son


Kissmytitaniumass

The Good Son straight fucked me up. I was probably a little too young when I saw it, but it’s a movie I can clearly recall years later. Macaulay Culkin acted the hell out of that movie.

FluidG11

This is my sleeper pick but I’m biased as fuck.


HunterGonzo

It's so weird how BTTF doesn't often come to mind in the "trilogy" conversation. I think it's because the concept of a trilogy always seems to conjure visions of grandiose and epic films, whereas BTTF is more of a lighthearted action comedy. In all honesty though, the consistent quality of all 3 movies is above and beyond what almost all other film series achieve. Plus it all ties together so well, especially 1 and 2.


CosmicPennyworth

A lot of people feel like 2 and 3 aren’t as good. I think they get campier and more repetitive but I almost love the sequels more for it edit: I’m gonna use this comment to plug my [Back to the Future 3 parody script](https://www.the-editing-room.com/back-to-the-future-part-iii.html)


Everestkid

3 is weird because it feels like they wanted to make a Western but they needed to somehow tie it into the other Back to the Future movies. Although I did like the central plot point of being unable to drive the DeLorean because there wouldn't be a gas station in the area for decades. I suppose I like 2 best because it's the most intricate of the three - 1 and 3 are just "go back in time, fix the thing that went wrong, go back to the future." ^^oh ^^*that's* ^^why ^^it's ^^called ^^that ^^^^/s 2's got the actual future and alternate timeline fuckery going on, plus it ties in really well with 1.

Naked Gun edit: >!https://www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/comments/z3up2l/3\_out\_of\_4\_suicides\_are\_men/ixnyxzd/?context=3!< >!enjoy your holiday.!<


jabberwock91

Naked Gun 1. Naked Gun 2 1/2. Naked Gun 33 1/3. All fucking brilliant. 33 1/3 is actually my favorite.


WillemDafoesHugeCock

The first movie is my favorite but the third has some of my favorite gags in the entire series. The sperm center scene is one of the best in the trilogy. The prison riot scene is solid gold. The scene where Jane is breaking up with Frank and everything moves impossibly quickly kills me every time, the way the cab driver checks his watch impatiently is *perfect.* And that's not even mentioning the one liners. "Like a midget at a urinal, I was going to have to stay on my toes." "Kinky. But I like my sex the way I play basketball, one on one with as little dribbling as possible." "Rocco could tell from my little escapade in the shower that I was well endowed... with courage."

CalmBeforePsych

The officers/security slowly sidestepping their way toward him while paying respect to the flag still cracks me up.


soobviouslyfake

Everything in the movie cracks me up. I watched them with my dad when I was probably still *way* too young to see them - I just learned to laugh when he did. Now I'm watching it thinking how the fuck he thought it was okay. "Nice beaver!!! Thank-you, I just had it stuffed.". Like holy shit dad

RaqueI, so many go to bed hungry in this nation. Yet, cat food's full of tuna. I can't help thinking each time I go to the zoo and see those porpoises crammed into tiny tanks, what a waste that is. Butcher half of them now. Hundreds of pounds of dolphin meat that could be fed to cats, freeing up that tuna for our nation's hungry.

The baseball stadium scene where multiple baseballs are thrown into the air made my sides hurt from laughter.


DeepsCL9

The entire Third Acts from both Naked Gun 1 and 33 1/3 had me in tears. For me, it was the random Chrysler hitting one of the players on the Baseball game highlights reel.

Every time my husband and I have to make a drive longer than an hour, I say, "Well, then let's get this antique on the roadshow!"


SeaOfDeadFaces

I love how Dude-like he is in how often he internalizes things he’s heard and spouts it himself later. And how almost all of his jokes are terrible wordplay. “Let’s get this antique back on the road-show!” It’s all stuff your uncle would say to amuse the kids but even they think it’s kind of sad. And even they notice how drunk the uncle is and they feel kind of sad for all of it, really, even though they can’t yet articulate why.

Before sunset will always be my favorite romance film!


dagitaab

Yes. That’s the superior one.


HighRisk26

The whole film is perfect and it's just 2 people walking around talking.


Apptubrutae

This kind of movie is why when people complain about some single element lacking in a movie (like when people say they can’t watch a movie without a plot), or “this movie didn’t need to be made”, I think it’s all silliness. A great director and talented actors with a good crew can make a great movie about literally anything. Watching paint dry? Sure why not. It’s possible if someone has the vision.


PM_ME_YOUR_SUNSHINE

Linklater will challenge viewers everytime.


Cavewoman22

baby, you are gonna miss that plane.


khendron

When I saw this in the theatre >!a lot of the audience literally gasped out loud when he says "I know".!<


Michael__Pemulis

Because it is one of the single greatest film endings of all time & hands-down the greatest ending of any romance. Just incredible shit. That final scene & the entire walk up the stairs. It’s perfect. The first time you watch it, it has you at the edge of your seat the way a fucking thriller does.


guyute2588

When she sings that fucking SONG. I melt.


Zal_17

So glad I'm not the only person who immediately went here. I've watched a LOT of films, but this is one of the very few I really believed the actors were in love. The dialogue between Hawke and Deploy was so realistic and believable, watching it felt a little like you were intruding on something personal.


UseThisToStayAnon

I've been single for a long time, mostly because I've had a string of long/bad relationships that messed with me and my willingness to let another person into my life. Before Sunrise literally made me want to find love again. That whole movie just pressed all the right buttons of what it's like to instantly hit it off with someone.


orangek1tty

I think for me Before Sunset was what hit me. Delpy’s character was so light in explaining the heavy topics. The one part where she said: > Celine: I was fine, until I read your fucking book! It stirred shit up, you know? It reminded me how genuinely romantic I was, how I had so much hope in things, and now it's like, I don't believe in anything that relates to love. I don't feel things for people anymore. In a way, I put all my romanticism into that one night, and I was never able to feel all this again. Like, somehow this night took things away from me and I expressed them to you, and you took them with you! It made me feel cold, like if love wasn't for me! That hurt. But also makes me feel wonderful to hope that one day that can happen again to me. Love comes so unexpectedly that I’m glad it is so random because otherwise we’d all be failures.


cs502

Came to say these films. Funny thing is, I found out about these movies in 2013 while I was on a train in Austria. Hawke’s The Purge was coming out soon so I fell down an Ethan Hawke Wikipedia rabbit hole and Before Midnight had recently come out or was coming out soon so I read about it and discovered it was the 3rd in a set of movies each filmed 10 years apart. Just thought it was bizarre I found out about it while on a train riding through Austria considering the first one started on a train in Austria. Anyhoo, for solid trilogies, this is at least in the top 5.


anthem47

(1995) - (2004) - (2013) We were due one this year! I mean I'm glad they're not forcing one, but I was enjoying this whole "7 up but it's a couple" that they had going.


liulide

Sunrise starts with Hawke and Delpy laughing at a middle-aged couple bickering. In Midnight, they've become the bickering couple. A pretty perfect way to button the story up.

About 10 years ago I heard about Blade Runner being a great movie so I downloaded it. Turns out I downloaded Sling Blade instead. Not what I was expecting at all but I kept watching to see how things would change into this high pace action packed dystopian future. It obviously didn't and continued with Billy Bob going "mhmmmm" a bunch. Not a bad movie but I always laugh at that mix up.
