Films with Sequels/Trilogies

SpicyDuck · 25 Dec 2007 at 11:52

I've decided, for my own little private pleasure, I'm going to make a library of movies that I either really love, or that are not particularly good in terms of story, but provide brainless fun, much like porn does.

I've decided to start on trilogies or films that have a sequel, but I'm struggling to come up with names for some reason, so do you mind helping a poor boy with a cold, on Christmas Day?

So far, I have:

28 Days Later
28 Weeks Later

Pirates of the Carribean [Trilogy]

Lord of the Rings [Trilogy]

Underworld
Underworld: Evolution

Resident Evil [Trilogy]

... I can think of more but I know I'm missing lots out.

Die Hard
Godfather
Alien

Terminator, although the 3rd one was not great, could have been much worse

Also Scream and Halloween

Rush Hour

To be honest, a lot of sequals are cack. Why not splurge on a decent TV series such as The West Wing and get all 7 seasons?

Don't forget the Jason Bourne films, which must be the only trilogy that actually starts well and goes on to get stronger with each sequel

As bob said, watch the Bourne series. Probably my favourite trilogy.

For shame gentlemen, for shame. Seven posts in and no mention of Indiana Jones.

Taxi 1/2/3 (French film)
El Mariachi/Desperado/Once Upon A Time In Mexico
The Dollars Trilogy by Sergio Leone
James Bond(s) might also count
Dirty Harry series
Smokey and The Bandit 1/2
Cannonball Run I/II

Toy Story

Police Academy!

Spiderman, X-Men, Fantastic 4 (though they're pretty crap).

Batman and Superman have lots of films, but I don't know if they count because as far as I know, they don't follow on from each other. I've only seen Batman Begins.

Indiana Jones
Clerks

watch terminator 1 and 2 straight after another, its amazing, but dont watch the 3rd unless you wanna view it as a comedy lol.

Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever and Batman & Robin are all from the same franchise so would be counted as sequels.

Nobody's mentioned the Harry Potter series yet, so I'll chip in to add that

...and another series just sprang to mind: Star Trek.

...doh, how could I have forgotten Jaws

Kobrakai · 26 Dec 2007 at 17:09

Hmm, most of the good series have already been mentioned. How about:

Mission Impossible
Resident Evil
Saw
Kill Bill
Lethal Weapon
Oceans 11/12/13
The Transporter
Scary Movie
