The answer is obviously supposed to be The Godfather, but I decided to vote for Major League instead

Nice...But as much as I love the first one I don't really think of Major League as a trilogy. I try to forget that I ever saw the second one and the third one is decent but has nothing to do with the original. The only good part of the sequels is Bob Uecker.

I voted for Star Wars (originals of course)

Well, you left out the Mad Max and Austin Powers, which is fine - they'd never win.

But leaving out the Dollars Trilogy (Fistful of Dollars/Few Dollars More/The Good the Bad and the Ugly) was a bit of a slip.

EDIT: And Alien/Aliens/Alien 3

It's supposed to be best trilogy, not best original and sequel with sucky finale.

If the criteria is evenness of the films, not 2/3 good, 1/3 okay or bad, then the answer may be LOTR. And I say this as someone who finds LOTR bloated and boring, though I know I'm in the minority.

well, if Die Hard isn't getting any votes, I doubt alien would, even though the first two were teh awesome, number 3 was god awful

Fistfull of dollars...before my time, and I'm pretty sure I've never sat through an entire Clint Eastwood film in my entire life...

as far as Mad Max, I've never seen but I was unaware a third one was made

[diebitter]

Fair enough.

And try and catch the new version of Alien 3. It's a really great film now, and whoever put it together did a fab job.

I'm pretty sure there were 4+ Superman movies.

The second Major League was incredible, if only because of the Black Hammer, White Lightning trailer. I also think Rick Vaughn's Right Guard commercial and Jay Leno appearances were great.

It can't really hold up with the original, obviously...But Major League 2 holds its weight when viewed as its own entity, I think.
