I can't remember what we did in the past. Are trilogies considered 1 movie or 3? IOW, do I list LOTR trilogy or each movie? If the entire trilogy is considered one movie, do I have to do it that way? Can I list the LOTR trilogy, but list Matrix and strenuosly omit those other 2 abominations?

ETA: I realize Matrix was 1999, but throwing it out as an example.
