There are only two true trilogies that this can be said of, IMO:

Batman Begins
The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight Rises

The Fellowship of the Ring
The Twin Towers
The Return of the King



Any others I'm missing?

I disagree on both of those actually. I can't think of any.

I agree with both of those, but I have a feeling that when I eventually see TDKR as much as I have seen TDK, I will go back to liking TDK better. I've only seen TDKR twice so far. TNT will inevitably play it for entire weekends at a time soon in the future.

The Star Wars prequel trilogy got progressively better, but that isn't saying much because the Phantom Menace sucked.

The Bourne Trilogy got better I thought (4th movie doesn't count)

Toy Story also

Original Star Wars trilogy is very close but the Empire Strikes back was too good.

The feduciary success of the Penatentary series alowed the directors to buy more attractive and talented actresses in each film. By the time they made the third film you could really relate to the anguish of the inmates when the guards violated their human rights.

I don't agree with either of those.

How about The Man with No Name Trilogy? I can't actually judge it myself since I haven't watched For a Few Dollars More, but The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is a better film than A Fistful of Dollars.

I agree with LOTR, disagree with Batman

TDK > TDKR = BB

I might have to say both Star Wars trilogies even though I know a lot of people here don't like Return of the Jedi as much.

Possibly Die Hard? (excluding the new ones they've made) I liked the 3rd one the best but the 1st is still probably better than the 2nd

Back to the Future. The third one was my favorite, although the second was the worst of the three.

I think you meant to say 'trilogy that progressively got worse'

Man I completely disagree about both. I thought both batman and LOTR went down with each movie with the exception being fotr=tt

Batman begins was by far my favorite of the batman trilogy.

LotR is a complete trilogy. I think fellowship is the best but there isn't a clear cut progression. You can't say unequivocally that return > fellowship

TDK > TDKR

Empire>Star Wars >>>>>>>>RotJ


I can't think of one.

IMO, Begins > TDK > TDKR. All three were great, though.

I don't like either of these answers.

I think if you took a poll most would say TDK is the best of the Batman trilogy. Probably BB being the second favorite.

For me, LOtR is probably complete opposite. I loved all three, but RotK is probably the worst due to a final battle scene not being that great. The battle of helms deep was much much better.

The Man w/ No Name trilogy is probably the only one I could say gets it. Toy Story MAYBE, but I think 2 is probably the worst.

The Godfather

The Dark Knight was way better than Rises

I would say the Blade movies, Mad Max, and the original Star Wars trilogy.
