    Block G, do you consider the recent Star Wars trilogy as part of your ultimate trilogy of trilogies (not sure what the correct plural is)? I thought they were quite poor, particularly the third one.

    Third one was the best of the prequels.

    Off the top of my head the scene to explain how the Emperor looked all wrinkly and decrepit was woeful. I thought it was a really really bad movie.

    Personally I thought Ian McDiarmid was a class act in the third one and more or less saved the prequels.
    Other plus points of episode 3 - Anakin turning on Padme. Anakin killing the padewans. The lightsabre fight with Anakin/Vader and Obi Wan. Dooku getting killed early on. Way overrated character and Lee's performances were hammy in the extreme. Little or no Jar Jar.

    I'd go for

    Star Wars
    Back to the Future
    Godfather
    Alien (first 3, not really a trilogy i know)

    LOTR is rubbish and is only slightly outdone by the steaming pile of cack that is Eps I to III

    How could I forget the Leonies!

    I will also add to that the Once Upon a Time trilogy: Once Upon a Time in the West, Once Upon a Time in America, and, eh, Once Upon a Time: Life.
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    Since this has branched off into the best Trilogys of all time I'll go with this

    1. The Leone Trilogy
    2. Lord of the Rings
    3. Star Wars Eps 4-6
    4. Back to the Future (let down by the 3rd part, thought it was okay, but given what went before it was poor, had it been stronger than BttF would have topped my list)
    5. Indiana Jones

    Biggest letdowns have to go to the Matrix Trilogy (first part was very good, the second and third parts not so much, and the Jesus references were out of place), and the Prequel Star Wars (agree that the Eps 3 was better, but it was still someway off the original 3. Although my favourite character in the Star Wars universe came from Eps 1, the criminally underused Darth Maul)
