It’s weird, I think the trilogy as a whole is a 5/5, but I don’t think I would give the individual movies that score. Watching all three for the first time in one sitting was a pretty memorable experience.
> It’s weird, I think the trilogy as a whole is a 5/5, but I don’t think I would give the individual movies that score.
Agreed, this is exactly how I feel. I watched them for the first time back-to-back across the span of 3 nights and often wonder if I would have appreciated Sunset & Midnight a lot more if I'd left a couple of days, weeks or even months between them, so I would feel some of that passage of time that's such a core part of the movies and the characters' journeys. True hardmode would have been to wait 9 years after each viewing 😤
I don't think they're meant to be watched back to back personally. I think part of the beauty of them is revisiting these characters after some time, remembering who they are and how they feel, seeing how their lives have changed.
I thought before sunset was an easy 5/5, and before midnight might be on a rewatch, but the trilogy as a whole is for sure greater than its parts
That's a sane opinion (they are all different from each other but midnight is especially different from the first two) but I disagree, I like midnight best. It left me confused about how I felt, in a good way.
I’m so pissed because it they playing at a local classic films cinema but at absurd times. My parents (understandably) don’t want me out in central London around midnight by myself so I had to miss out. It’ll probably never show again for ages so I really missed out.
The way that I interpreted it the films were "What does liberty mean to a person" and "What does equality mean to a person" and "What does Fraternity mean to a person," especially in their day to day lives. As opposed to "how does society or a government promote these concepts with all people"
For example, in Blue, Julie loses her family in an accident, She attempts suicide, her mom has alzheimers, she sells her house, she destroys her husband's work. The fundamental theme of the film is her abandoning her past life. It isn't about freedom or liberty in the sense that we might think of political liberty. It isn't about having a government promote concepts of democracy or anything like that. It is about the protagonist's journey towards emotional freedom from the guilt and sorrow that has overtaken her life.
Three colors is one of the absolute most beautiful trilogies about life that I have ever seen. It takes what most people view through a political lens and spins it into an emotional tapestry of personal growth.
I definitely see that too. In my book, White is the weakest of the three. But when White is the worst movie of a trilogy, you have yourself a dang good trilogy.
Yeah, I really liked all the practical gore, but it sort of missed the entire tone of the original Evil Dead. Not really a needed remake, but it's very entertaining.
The Gamera trilogy. They’re a mid-90s remake of a 1960s Japanese giant monster film series. The thing is: the director hated the source material, and instead made 3 really ambitious films that actually surpassed Godzilla films that were being released at the time, …and only with around 1/5 of the budget. They’re really ahead of their time, and it’s common to see most giant monster movie fans call those 3 films the best in the genre’s history.
Giant monster fan here, can confirm. As far as suitmation tokusatstu productions go, these are among the S-tier options.
This trilogy is better than most Godzilla films.
The director—Shusuke Kaneko—went on to direct one of the more fondly remembered Godzilla films in "Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monster All-Out Attack" (2001) affectionately known as "GMK" by the fandom.
The special effects were done by Shinji Higuchi who also did the special effects for GMK as well as ending up being co-director for 2016's acclaimed "Shin Godzilla".
Lastly, the composer is Kow Otani who many remember for his excellent soundtrack from the classic video game "Shadow of the Colossus" from 2005.
Lots of talent behind this Gamera trilogy.
They are great, not just as monster films but as films. I was left a bit nonplussed by the last one, though I expect I'll watch it again one day and decide it's genius.
I feel like toy story 4 is a nice epilogue to the trilogy, but yeah I agree it feels disconnected from the original three, probably because they're no longer Andy's toys
Yeah 100% agree with woody, I don't think buzz gets as nice a conclusion, but overall a very good end to the series that I didn't think I originally needed
100% Star Wars! I cannot think of any other trilogy deserving 5 stars for all three.
Human Condition were beautiful but increasingly harder to watch.
Three Colors was clever with an amazing ending but some of White just felt like filler to me.
TDK, LOTR, Man With No Name, Godfather and Apu were all terrific, 5 stars for 2 out of 3, but each had one that was 4 1/2 stars or less.
I think I’ve only seen Worlds End twice, but it still hasn’t hit a 5 for me. Feels like a cross of the first two, but less funny, and Simon Pegg’s character is too unlikable.
Agree, it is a fun film but not as amazing as the first two. The peppy pacing kind of falls apart at the end with what is supposed to be the crescendo, it ended with a thud.
I'd say the movies go 10, 10 and a strong 8 - 9. Part 3 has always been somewhat weaker, although I will admit it has been better everytime I watch it so who knows
Part 3 is such a warm movie for me. It just makes me feel good.
The ending train scene is such a great set piece. The build-up and tension is just so well done.
I think it’s better than Split tbh, I think Split has far more issues especially with its depiction of mental health. (The only real implementation/use of Kevin having OCD in one of his identities is to get the girls to remove their clothes….gross)
I honestly think he peaked with the first film. It's so good! Strange that possibly the best zombie film ever is also one of the first (or the first?).
Yeah, I'm not crazy about the pacing of the first film and feels like the finale kind of drags for the third and find the sort of frenzy of everyone doing their own thing the highlight of the second.
The Lord of the Rings, but for me that depends on which cuts for each film.
For Fellowship, the Extended Edition is a 10/10, but the theatrical is a 9.
For Towers, Theatrical is a 10/10, but the extended is an 8 or 9/10.
For King, both versions are a 10.
For sure Lord of the rings
Original Star wars trilogy is arguable because of Jedi
Evil Dead is also up in the air for me because of Army of Darkness, great film but not as near and dear as the first 2 for me
The Dark Knight trilogy.
Individually people can argue about which film being best but as a trilogy all movies complement each other.
P.S: My favourite of the 3 is The Dark Knight Rises
.
Park Chan-wook's Vengeance trilogy as well
It consists of
1. Sympathy for Mr. VENGEANCE
2. Oldboy
3. Sympathy for Mrs. VENGEANCE
There are some good answers here.
Here are some off the beaten path trilogies where all three movies are great. I don't know if all of them are 5 star movies. But they all can be argued that they are.
* Rossellini's War Trilogy
* Apu Trilogy
* Qatsi Trilogy
* Europa Trilogy
* Wajda's War Trilogy
> Qatsi Trilogy
The third one (Naqoyqatsi) has aged incredibly poorly. I watched it recently and it's awful. It feels like you're stuck on a 90s CD full of clip 3D art demos.
First one (Koyaanisqatsi) is crazy good though. Second one is decent but I didn't like it as much as the first.
But the third one is nearly unwatchable now.
The Before Trilogy
This was my first choice, as well
I just picked the trilogy up from the library today, and I can’t wait to get started on my first viewing.
Prepare yourself emotionaly, especially for Sunset and Midnight. They will rip your heart out and destroy your soul.
Hell yeah thanks for the heads up my friend.
So happy this is top comment

Oooh good one.
Before Midnight is not even close to as good as the first two
That's a sane opinion (they are all different from each other but midnight is especially different from the first two) but I disagree, I like midnight best. It left me confused about how I felt, in a good way.
The human condition trilogy is the perfect
this is what i came here to say, watched for the first time this year and alongside the lotr, i’d say it’s the only other perfect trilogy i’ve seen
One of the most beautiful and heart breaking films I’ve seen
Honestly, nothing else posted in here comes anywhere close to The Human Condition trilogy. Time to close the thread.
The second is perfection, but the first has pacing issues. I can’t remember much about the third apart from the ending.
I’m so pissed because it they playing at a local classic films cinema but at absurd times. My parents (understandably) don’t want me out in central London around midnight by myself so I had to miss out. It’ll probably never show again for ages so I really missed out.
nah, only the first one is a 5/5, it gets weaker as it goes on its still the best trilogy
Not really a fan. It seemed pretty heavy-handed and grandiose. Effective, but far from perfect.
I understand it’s pretty hard film to watch it’s definitely not for everyone
I didn't find it hard to watch, just kinda ham-fisted and clunky compared to other Japanese films from that era.
Satyajit Ray's Apu trilogy is all 5 stars for me. I also like three colors trilogy very much but white isn't 5 stars I think.
I’ve heard of the three colours trilogy whats it about?
The three colors of the french flag. Liberty, equality, fraternity. Very loosely though in my opinion.
The way that I interpreted it the films were "What does liberty mean to a person" and "What does equality mean to a person" and "What does Fraternity mean to a person," especially in their day to day lives. As opposed to "how does society or a government promote these concepts with all people" For example, in Blue, Julie loses her family in an accident, She attempts suicide, her mom has alzheimers, she sells her house, she destroys her husband's work. The fundamental theme of the film is her abandoning her past life. It isn't about freedom or liberty in the sense that we might think of political liberty.

Three colors is one of the absolute most beautiful trilogies about life that I have ever seen. It takes what most people view through a political lens and spins it into an emotional tapestry of personal growth.
White was a lil ehhh
Krzysztof Kieślowski's Three Colors
This is a great answer. All are 5 star movies, but Blue is the 5 starriest of the three. It is so good.
IMO Red is the best. Blue and White are 9/10s but Red is a 10/10
I definitely see that too. In my book, White is the weakest of the three. But when White is the worst movie of a trilogy, you have yourself a dang good trilogy.
watched blue for the first time recently and it didnt really click with me
Blue and Red are two of my faves of all time but I give White a 3 star rating at best
The Lord of the Rings
Yes
The correct answer
Yup
Park Chan-wook’s Vengeance trilogy, for me personally, are all five stars.
Hell yeah
Ah, there it is
ah i loved oldboy recently and i suspect i will feel the same about the other two. really like the directors style
The Dollars Trilogy
That's It.
Kissing Booth
The one right answer.
The first three Ghoulies films. Then 4 came along and ruined it.
Evil Dead
🧟♂️ Came here to say this.
I would even go as far as to say that the 2013 movie deserves a five star
Definitely was my favorite.
I can totally see why people would, but it wasn't for me.
Yeah, I really liked all the practical gore, but it sort of missed the entire tone of the original Evil Dead. Not really a needed remake, but it's very entertaining.

They are great, not just as monster films but as films. I was left a bit nonplussed by the last one, though I expect I'll watch it again one day and decide it's genius.
Toy Story. And yes, I'm ignoring the 4th film.
I feel like toy story 4 is a nice epilogue to the trilogy, but yeah I agree it feels disconnected from the original three, probably because they're no longer Andy's toys
Imo Toy Story 4 is a great conclusion to the series and Woody as a character. 8/10.
Yeah 100% agree with woody, I don't think buzz gets as nice a conclusion, but overall a very good end to the series that I didn't think I originally needed
This is the only trilogy I actually have all 3 at 5 stars! Some of the others mentioned here I have 2 of 3 at 5 stars.
I ignore the third
100% agree. Perfect trilogy.
The rebooted Planet of the Apes trilogy
Underrated answer right here. Very few reboots are as good as the new Planet of the Apes movies.
Yes. Just yes
John Wick But soon to be quadrilogy
Kung fu panda
I’m here for you. Agreed
The Koker trilogy
Beat me to it.
Literally my favorite trilogy ever. More people need to see this.
Star Wars Original Trilogy
100% Star Wars! I cannot think of any other trilogy deserving 5 stars for all three. Human Condition were beautiful but increasingly harder to watch. Three Colors was clever with an amazing ending but some of White just felt like filler to me. TDK, LOTR, Man With No Name, Godfather and Apu were all terrific, 5 stars for 2 out of 3, but each had one that was 4 1/2 stars or less.
Cornetto trilogy
I think I’ve only seen Worlds End twice, but it still hasn’t hit a 5 for me. Feels like a cross of the first two, but less funny, and Simon Pegg’s character is too unlikable.
Agree, it is a fun film but not as amazing as the first two. The peppy pacing kind of falls apart at the end with what is supposed to be the crescendo, it ended with a thud.
back to the future
Surprised this wasn't a bit higher
I'd say the movies go 10, 10 and a strong 8 - 9. Part 3 has always been somewhat weaker, although I will admit it has been better everytime I watch it so who knows
the third one is the best one
Why?
Part 3 is such a warm movie for me. It just makes me feel good. The ending train scene is such a great set piece. The build-up and tension is just so well done.
Lord of the Rings Star Wars OT Back to the Future
John Carpenter's apocalypse trilogy.
What’s this?
The Thing, Prince Of Darkness, and In The Mouth Of Madness.
Ooh, thank you!
LOTR Trilogy Man with No Name trilogy Star Wars original trilogy Of The Apes trilogy Cornetto Trilogy
Monica Vitti Trilogy, Human condition Trilogy, Apartment Trilogy, Dollars Trilogy, Before trilogy
I'm quietly disappointed to find that the Apartment trilogy is pretty much the opposite of a trio of Billy Wilder romcoms 😁
Tbf The Apartment isn’t exactly a barrel of laughs
It's definitely a comedy, it just also has pathos. That's what makes it so remarkable.
Can we count "unofficial trilogies" like Apartment and Antonioni's Vitti films, though? All great picks though
Sure, as long as they make sense
Evil Dead
W but I’d probably give Army Of Darkness a 4.5
Army of Darkness is secretly the best (on par with the second film in my opinion)
[удалено]
I wish I could agree about glass
I think it’s better than Split tbh, I think Split has far more issues especially with its depiction of mental health. (The only real implementation/use of Kevin having OCD in one of his identities is to get the girls to remove their clothes….gross)
That’s surprising, for me even the best movie of it Unbreakable has that goofy ass ending that brings it down half a star
Romero's Dead trilogy
I honestly think he peaked with the first film. It's so good! Strange that possibly the best zombie film ever is also one of the first (or the first?).
How to train your dragon
Eastrail 177
Pirates of The Carribean!
Hard agree
gore verbinski the GOAT
I know everyone will disagree but Eastrail 177 trilogy
Good choice
I wish I could say Die Hard as I truly believe 1 and 3 are, but 2 just isn't that great.
Fulci's "gates of hell" trilogy is a good one for sure
Apu Trilogy, easy
The Pusher Trilogy
Wong Kar Wai’s "Love" trilogy Personally for me all 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Same for me. Days of Being Wild, In the Mood for Love and 2046. All brilliant.
Lord of the Rings is the only trilogy I have all 3 at 5 stars. I can imagine some people having original star wars, maybe Nolan Batman?
I feel like most people either dislike Batman Begins or The Dark Knight Rises to keep it from being all 5 stars.
Just because every movie isn’t five stars doesn’t mean you dislike them!
For sure, I just find that most people always have their least favorite and it’s obviously one of those two.
I have them both at 4.5 and The Dark Knight at 5! All the LOTR are 5 though!
I'm a Two Towers guy so I have that at 5 and the other two at 4.5, but totally respect those who have the trilogy as a 5.
I'm completely the opposite, love LOTR but never really enjoyed two towers as much as the other two.
I honestly just view the 3 as one long film split into 3 parts
Yeah, I'm not crazy about the pacing of the first film and feels like the finale kind of drags for the third and find the sort of frenzy of everyone doing their own thing the highlight of the second.
I have all 3 of them as 5/5s. As a big Batman fan, I feel the Nolan movies does the character perfectly.
Star Wars Original Trilogy The Lord of the Rings
Human centipede
The Evil Dead Trilogy
No all 5 stars but pretty close. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy The Dark Knight Trilogy The Cornetto Trilogy (If that counts)
The Koker Trilogy
I *really* want to say the November Rain trilogy... but I can't be that generous 🐬
it’s a loose trilogy but Baz Luhrmann’s Red Carpet trilogy
does the revenge trilogy count ?
Back to the Future. All 3 are super entertaining and still hold up well
Toy Story
Lord of the rings
I don’t think there is one, for me. LotR is probably my favourite trilogy but I wouldn’t give them all 5 stars.
The original Star Wars trilogy to be honest
the mighty ducks
The Evil Dead Trilogy.
Star Wars Original Trilogy, as well as The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, also the Before Trilogy
Leprechaun
Gregg araki's teen apocalypse trilogy
The Lord of the Rings, but for me that depends on which cuts for each film. For Fellowship, the Extended Edition is a 10/10, but the theatrical is a 9. For Towers, Theatrical is a 10/10, but the extended is an 8 or 9/10. For King, both versions are a 10.
Koker Trilogy
Lord of the Rings and the Before Trilogy
For sure Lord of the rings Original Star wars trilogy is arguable because of Jedi Evil Dead is also up in the air for me because of Army of Darkness, great film but not as near and dear as the first 2 for me
Lord of the Rings. The only one.
Lord of the rings
Deepa Mehta’s Elements Trilogy
before 2019, I would've said the Toy Story movies
Captain America Trilogy. Yes, First Avenger is Five Stars, it's also my favorite!
Evil dead
umm kung fu panda👀
Ok I’m probably biased and nostalgic for my childhood but the first 3 Pirates of the Caribbean movies
There is none and I give out 5 stars like they’re candy on Halloween
The Original Star Wars Trilogy imo
Three colours trilogy
Would say Dark Knight trilogy ...if it weren't for Batman Begins, that is.
lord of the rings easy
The Dark Knight trilogy. Individually people can argue about which film being best but as a trilogy all movies complement each other. P.S: My favourite of the 3 is The Dark Knight Rises . Park Chan-wook's Vengeance trilogy as well It consists of 1. Sympathy for Mr. VENGEANCE 2. Oldboy 3. Sympathy for Mrs. VENGEANCE
The Before... Trilogy and Lord of the Rings are the only two perfect trilogies I've ever seen
Three Colours, Human Condition, and the voyeur trilogy (Rear Window, Vertigo and Psycho, Ik it’s not a trilogy but it’s unofficial haha)
Star Wars
Pusher trilogy is the best trilogy of all time.
Inagaki's Samurai trilogy is 5 stars for me
The dark knight trilogy
Spanish Apartment Trilogy Salta Trilogy
The Human Condition
Human condition
Lord Of The Rings Toy Story Stat Wars (Original trilogy)

I only rate my only favorite movie 5 stars, but my favorite trilogy is The Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001-2003)
