Metacritic Score: 199/300 or 66.3% The first Back to the Futureis certainly the best of the three, and it ranks among the greatest sci-fi movies of all time. It's time travel as a concept executed perfectly, and the first film's success is the main reason the trilogy has an overall strong Metacritic score, as it sits at an 87/100, compared to 57 an...
Metacritic Score: 202/300 or 67.3% The best thing about the original three Evil Dead movies is how different they all are when it comes to genre, yet they do feel like they tell one overall, continually escalating story. The original from 1981 is a straightforward low-budget horror movie, the 1987 sequel balances comedy and horror, and then 1992's ...
Metacritic Score: 208/300 or 69.3% Park Chan-wook's Vengeance trilogy isn't a trilogy in the traditional sense, as each film follows a different set of characters and an overall different storyline. However, as the trilogy's name implies, they are tied together because of a central theme: each movie explores the concept of revenge in a different wa...
Metacritic Score: 211/300 or 70.3% The character of Captain America appeared in far more than just three films within the MCU, but some of his best were the entries where his name was in the title. The Captain Americatrilogy was an overall remarkably consistent one within the MCU, and each one feels quite distinct, too. RELATED: The Best Superhero ...
Metacritic Score: 221/300 or 73.6% A spin-off of the iconic Rocky series, the Creed series may not be quite as long-running, yet it's proven more consistent critically. Few would argue any Rocky or Creed movie tops 1976's original Rocky, but that film's sequels have been a little rocky (pun very intended) when it comes to quality. What currently st...
Metacritic Score: 229/300 or 76.3% Back in 2011, few people would have expected a new Planet of the Apes trilogy to be quite as good as the one that ended up playing out over the next six years. 2011's Rise of the Planet of the Apes was a compelling start, but its sequels in 2014 and 2017 - Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Rise of the Planet of t...
Metacritic Score: 229/300 or 76.3% The trilogy that made Clint Eastwood an all-time great movie star, the Dollars trilogy is a set of Spaghetti Westerns directed by the legendary Sergio Leone. Things kicked off with the solid Fistful of Dollars, then got more interesting with For a Few Dollars More, and then things ended on a high with the spectacu...
Metacritic Score: 230/300 or 76.6% Being one of the most popular film franchises in cinema history, the space opera series Star Wars now has three different trilogies: the original trilogy, prequel trilogy, and sequel trilogy, plus a whole host of other spin-off movies and TV shows. When it comes to quality, though, most will agree that the origina...
Metacritic Score: 232/300 or 77.3% Sergio Leone wasn't comfortable making just one legendary trilogy, as right after the Dollars trilogy, he did it again with what's been dubbed the Once Upon a Time trilogy. The films belonging to it are 1968's Once Upon a Time in the West, 1971's Once Upon a Time ... the Revolution (sometimes called Duck, You Suck...
Metacritic Score: 232/300 or 77.3% Christopher Nolan helped elevate the superhero genre in 2005, thanks to Batman Begins. It presented the title character's origin story in a gritty, often quite dark fashion, and paved the way for 2008's excellent The Dark Knight, and then 2012's ambitious, messy, but sometimes thrilling The Dark Knight Rises. RELA...

- Star Wars Original Trilogy. The original "Star Wars" trilogy remains the perfect example of how to properly plan, orchestrate, and execute a three-film arc in which all of the characters receive a satisfactory conclusion.
- The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy novel trilogy "The Lord of the Rings" was a landmark of fantasy literature, and contributed one of the most well fleshed out fictional universes ever conceived.
- The Godfather Trilogy. "The Godfather" is one of the most difficult film trilogies to rank. Unquestionably, 1972's original "The Godfather" is a major achievement, and is rarely absent on any list collecting the best all-time classics.
- The Dark Knight Trilogy. While it's exciting to see sequels that build towards connected universes and crossover events, there's something satisfying about a standalone story that tells a completed arc with a definitive ending.

- The Lord of the Rings. Probably the greatest modern example of a single story told in three parts, The Lord of the Rings is our pick for the best and truest example of a "pure" trilogy.
- Star Wars: Episodes IV-VI. There is truly no limit to the influence of the preeminent pop cultural touchstone that is Star Wars. The three original films in the series are undoubtedly the most treasured film trilogy of all time.
- Toy Story. It's the best-reviewed trilogy of all time. Rotten Tomatoes shows that critics adored all three movies across-the-board. Only the second film scored less than 100% approval, instead landing 99% of critics' adoration.
- The Godfather. It should come as no surprise that the celebrated saga of the Corleone mafia crime family ranks highly on our list. The first two films in particular are treasured classics for a myriad of reasons.
