A Personal Trilogy Rankings

I detailed my No.1 trilogy decision in my last post, so here’s my “blink” all-time trilogy rankings:

1. The Dark Knight

2. The Man With No Name trilogy — Blondie, Joe, “The Man With No Name” … from “A Fistful of Dollars” through “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly,” Sergio Leone’s trilogy with Clint Eastwood ranks right up there amongst all-time great Westerns (even if none match “Once Upon A Time in The West”).

3. Indiana Jones (first three) — The final installment lacks so much compared to “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” but it makes up for it with Sean Connery quips.

4. The Godfather — legitimate shot at No.1 if not for its dud of a third film.

5. Star Wars (final three (first-produced)) — a victim of its era in special effects.

6. Back To The Future — Quotable gem w/ Huey Lewis’ finest hour.

7. The Naked Gun — Sure, you need a goofy sense of humour… but I have that.

8. X-Men — Yep. Second one’s the best.

9. Mighty Ducks — I apologize for being a hockey fan who grew up alongside Charlie Conway. “Good game, Captain Duck.”

10. The Matrix — if only for the visuals, it’d be Top Ten.

    I’d definitely put Toy Story in there ahead of The Matrix. Toy Story had some pretty stunning visuals itself (though obviously of a different ilk) and I feel its the better full trilogy. The Toy Story movies are great as stand-alones and as a pure trilogy with very few weak moments – something I feel can not be said at all for The Matrix
