The 25 Greatest Movie Trilogies of All Time According to Forbes

"...there's something special about a trilogy, about a director's ability to make not just one great movie, but three that tie together for an epic story or a grand thematic observation. Truly great trilogies with three stellar entries are hard to come by, but I believe I've put together a list that recognizes the best of the best. The 'best' trilogies of all time will be determined by me & my personal criteria/tastes, and in this list you'll find just about every genre imaginable, from drama to science fiction to thrillers to horror flicks. Only trilogies with three entries from a single director were eligible, meaning the 'Star Wars' Sequel Trilogy & the original Indiana Jones Trilogy weren't eligible. Many other great trilogies, from Soderbergh's Ocean's Trilogy to the Bourne Trilogy to the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Trilogy, as well as Sam Raimi's Spider-Man Trilogy and the 'Back to the Future' Trilogy I greatly admire, but they just didn't make the cut for this list." - forbes.com
