Best film series (three films or more)?

Fawlty Towers

Harry Potter

Laurel and Hardy

Richard III

Sicario

Lassie

The 2 hobbits (should have been edited into 3)

Of modern day films then none of them and I'd agree with Reynard and say Laurel & Hardy, first reserve Abbott & Costello.

Alien

Flash Gordon 1936/8/9

Wonderful serial

Priscilla Lawson as Princess Aura is the hottest woman I've ever seen.

Rocky

I know we don't do highbrow on here,  but Kieslowski's 1990's Three Colour's Trilogy certainly qualifies.

star wars 4,5 and 6

Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy was superb in terms of consistency ..................................

Kenny i went for Ornella Muti as Princess Aura in the 1980 version

The Madness of King George III

I didn't see parts 1 and 2 but 3 was reasonably watchable

clever

Nice one Escapee!

Reminds me of Peter Serafinowicz on QI, when he said he didn't watch American History X because he still hasn't watched the first nine!

Ocean's was rubbish, in fact its hard to believe the first ten in the series were total pants, the fact they even made an eleventh is a miracle.

I haven't seen Rita, Sue and Bob but I still enjoyed the sequel.

Mouse thinking wtf?

Bournes were a very solid trilogy.

I think as soon as Ted 3 is released we can close this thread for good.

I didn't like Born 1 and 2 much,  but Born Free is right up there with the all time best.

You did it again

Not sure about the godfather "trilogy" being that great as though the first two films were amazing the third was dreadful.

the first matrix film was incredible the next two were dodos.

the terminator 1 and 2 great the third one not so much. aliens first two films excellent third not so much. (sure you're detecting a theme here.)

the only film series that are flawless are the friday the thirteenth ones

Back To The Future for me, and Indiana Jones (except the last one)

As an alternative vibe to the norm, the "sqatsi" trilogy is worth a mention. The first one in particular was mesmerising (though I know Philip Glass music can drive some people up the wall!)

Platoon

I didn't see any of the first nine, but - given that the quality inevitably drops off - the Malcolm series must've been really good.

Before Sunrise/Sunset/Midnight

Talking about the Bourne films the next one is
Bourne again christian.

The Protocols

The Omen

I liked The French Connection and The French Connection II was just as good. Shame there wasn't a third one. So those films will just have to go into the "Best 2-Film Series" list, and I think they'd be top of the pile for me. Hackman's performance was awesome in the sequel. Ahh, the seventies. They don't make 'em like that anymore.
