Pick 5 movies out of 2 trilogies

Let's say you have the ability to purchase five movies, but you're limited to two trilogies from which to pick. Which movie is left out?
First Matchup:
The original Batman Trilogy (Batman/Returns/Forever)
vs.
The Austin Powers Trilogy
For me, while while the last movie in each trilogy is clearly the worst, I was never particularly a fan of Goldmember. By that time the theme had run its course and it was basically recycling and referencing jokes from the first two movies that were much better.
I have a lot of strong childhood nostalgia for Batman Forever also, and I think Nicole Kidman pushes it over the top for this competition. Kiss from a Rose is definitely a secondary factor giving Batman Forever the edge to me.

Both of those are terrible.
Try:
Bourne (Renner is non-canon, so it's still a trilogy)
vs
Evil Dead

There are four Damon Bourne movies

It had its moments, but that's the odd one out for your first set for me.

Ah, so we can be flexible with the rules, then:
OG Star Wars
vs.
Star Trek (TWOK, TSFS and TVH are clearly, and unambiguously a trilogy)
(It's going to be close between Return of the Jedi and The Search for Spock, for sure.)

Movies I would add, but don’t already own. Feels like I’m cheating, but the most obvious is Godfather 1 & 2, leaving 3 on the shelf.
After that, Captain America. The first avenger, Winter soldier, Civil War.

Not counting Batman and Robin is cheating but I'll allow it.
Not counting it I drop Goldmember.
Austin Powers
Batman
Batman Returns
Austin Powers 2
Batman Returns
In that order. Final answer.

Other problem is Batman had Burton for the first two and Schumacher for the next two, so excluding Batman and Robin is indeed cheating. If Burton directed the first three and then Schumacher directed just the last one, then your comparison would be at least close.
