Also, Extreme Ways is better than any Bond song of the past 20 years, even if Moby is a vegan skinhead douchebag!
when I saw Fight Club opening night in the theater I said it was going to be the movie that defined the 90s

What about American Beauty?

Not really. Just because you went out and saw it a few days ago and are currently in the jizzing phase, doesnt mean it will stand alongside The Godfather, Star Wars, or even Indy Jones in 10 years.
Why not The Godfather? Yeah the third is not great, but the first two won best picture oscars and are considered two of the greatest films of all time.
What was so good about Fight Club? (never saw it, btw)
I dunno how popular blockbusters are being called out as fantastic. Indy as a trilogy is really hit or miss, and this isnt even including the new one coming up.

None of the three series you mentioned are in the running for best American trilogy. What would you say is the best American trilogy?
fwiw, the potc trilogy is the most consistent one.

So what is the best American trilogy for you? It's not like there are tons. It sure as fuck isn't Alien, POTC, Terminator, or Matrix.

There aren't many good trilogies, American or no. I'd have to think about it. All I can say now is that the best trilogy would be 3 movies of equal or ascending quality, which rules out Indy, Star Wars, and Godfather. Especially Godfather. Whatever trilogy I would pick would likely not match the quality of the best movies in the aforementioned trilogies, but I think when you are judging as a trilogy, you can't be willing to throw in the towel and say "Well, yeah, Temple of Doom was terrrible, but the other two were great."

I think you can make that case for Godfather, since two of them are among the best films of all time, period. Most trilogies are lucky to have one awesome movie in them, and one that doesn't totally disappoint.

Two best movies of all time plus one turd does not equal a good trilogy. It equals two good movies and one bad one.
It doesn't help that Godfather 3 feels so inessential. There wasn't a good reason to do a third movie.

It does when there are only a handful of trilogies in the first place and most of them have a movie as bad or worse than the Godfather pt3.
Indy isn't a fucking trilogy, there's a fourth one in production. It's not even like Star Wars where you can split them up into OT and PT.Indiana Jones is a serial but others brought it up and not me!

That means there are likely no great American film trilogies. You can't win by default when one of the movies is blatantly bad.
fwiw, the potc trilogy is the most consistent one.
The problem with Bourne is while they are great movies. I love them, but does anyone honestly think people will be obsessing over them 30 years from now? Godfather trilogy will be and the Star Wars trilogy will be, as well Indiana Jones. And hell Die Hard & Back to the Future probably But Bourne? Not likely. And I say that as someone who thinks all 3 entries are around a 9/10
So we should say "Which is the most POPULAR American trilogy ever made?"?It's not a good one but people will remember it far longer than Bourne. Purely because of the first movie. Boxsets of those 4(or more?) will continue to sell in 30 years. Just becasue of that first movie.
And Die Hard isn't really a good one...and I absolutely love it.

Die Hard 4.0, bitches. It's no longer a trilogy.because of all the 80's revivals it's hard for anything to remain a trilogy. To keep this going lets talk about "SERIES"'s or whatever you want to call them then.
Also unless Chris Nolan goes mental or something his Batman trilogy will be be better than the bourne one.
Hey TVC you already watched Supremacy too?! :rock
Also has everone forgot the man with no name trilogy?

Gay Boy lolyou cant deny toy story trilogy will surplant bourne!
What about the Mission Impossible films you guuuuuuuuuuuyyyyyys? :P :P :PII was shit :(
Then let me borrow it.But you live in Ypsi. A girl who just graduated from EMU told me everyone who lives in Ypsi are criminals, just like in Detroit. Sorry.
DH 4 - 8/10
FINE
wtf Cajole you didn't rate the other DH films.
for the record, i'd consider lotr as the best american movie trilogy, but i haven't seen any of the bourne movies :-\

Ah makes sense. I was gonna say "well it was filmed in English" then I realized that would be utterly stupid.
btw rank the LOTR classics. I always thought you just liked FOTR

What about American Beauty?
American Beauty is the shittiest piece of shit that ever shat out of a shitty butt. I can't even begin to articulate how much I hate that overrated piece of saccharine fortune cookie hypocritical irrational nonsensical overloaded heavy-handed GODDAMNED MOTHERFUCKING PIECE OF CRAP!
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU BROUGHT IT UP! AAAAAAH!! NEVER MAKE A FILM AGAIN!!!!
THE MIGHTY DUCKS TRILOGY
EMMILLLIOOOOOOOOO
"Return of the Jedi ruines Star Wars" :lol
Reminds me of a dude I met recently who said Attack of the Clones is better than Jedi because of the Ewoks. Jesus get over the fucking Ewoks people. Yes they were lame, but the movie is amazing, and when Luke and Vader fight its fucking the best ever!
wtf You meant Seinfeld right? It was the most popular comedy in the 90s, wasn't it?
I'll also throw in a nod for the LotR trilogy, even though it's hardly American. It's at least the one trilogy where I can constantly watch and still love it to death. For good measure:
Fellowship: 10
Two Towers: 8
Return of the King: 9.5
Fellowship is honestly one of the best fucking movies I've seen. Say shit to me, I know, but I'll stand by it.
towers less than rotk? lol wtf
We're talking about being representative of the decade, not being the best. It's like Time Magazine's Man of the Year award, and Friends is Hitler.
1st season was good!
Matthew Perry made the trains run on time.

WHAT THE FUCK FRIENDS SHOW OF THE 90S ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME FUCK YOU MANDARK I THOUGHT YOU WRE COOL
Why award the inferior show just because it displays the shittiest of a decade better? Fuck that shit.
Seinfeld. :bow
The Clinton decade will not be remembered...but Friends will be? No. I don't want to live in a world where Seinfeld takes a backseat to anything in its own decade.
I think that decades from now, the Clinton decade will be remembered similar to the Eisenhower era--ie nobody will remember it. it was a generally prosperous time, and history books don't go into detail on good periods. The Reagan decade will be remembered because Republicans will never let anyone forget that, and the Bush decade will be remembered for the shittiness. The 90s will be largely invisible in the future. When we think of Eisenhower's 50s, we think of Ward and June Cleaver and "simpler times." When people remember the 90s, I believe the pattern dictates the future will remember something equally superficial, Friends.Conservatives and christians will remember the 90's as when American morals went missing (not only because of Monica). For everyone else it was dandy.

90's = The Simpsons
Seinfeld had better ratings than Friends when they were both on.wtf You meant Seinfeld right? It was the most popular comedy in the 90s, wasn't it?
better, maybe not most popular.
I think this topic needs to be broadened to trilogies, without the American tag before it. Most of my favorite trilogies arent American. The Dollars trilogy, Trois Coleurs, CWP's Revenge trilogy, etc.Agreed. I don't think the MWNN trilogy is American by any means but I had to create excuses because it's impossible to argue trilogies without bringing it up.
fwiw, the potc trilogy is the most consistent one.
Consistently SHIT?
I think people simply didn't "get" Spiderman 3.
