Star Wars - As a Star Wars fan (of the original trilogy, not the Natalie Portman/Hayden Christensen one) this naturally sits at the top of my list. Created by George Lucas, the space opera film series include
Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope,
Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and
Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. Who could forget those adorable Ewoks and the hunkalicious, roguish Han Solo (Harrison Ford)?
Memorable quote: "No,
I am your father," says Vader to Luke Skywalker in
The Empire Strikes Back. Now
that is one of the biggest shockers in movie history, ladies and gentlemen.

The Godfather - One of the major gangster films around,
The Godfather chronicles the experiences of the Italian-American Corleone family.
The second and third parts of the trilogy came out in 1974 and 1990 respectively. Based on the novel by Mario Puzo and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, the trilogy boast stars like Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Diane Keaton and James Caan, among others.
Memorable quote - "I'm gonna make him an offer he won't refuse" (uttered by Don Vito Corleone) was voted the second most memorable line in cinematic history to the American Film Institute (right after Rhett Butler's "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" from Gone With the Wind).

The Bourne Trilogy - Created by author Robert Ludlum,
The Bourne Trilogy tells the story of Jason Bourne, a former CIA assassin suffering from extreme memory loss as he races to solve the mysteries of his past while he is being pursued by members of the very organization that he was hired into. Comprising of the
Bourne Identity,
Bourne Supremacy and
Bourne Ultimatum, the
Bourne Trilogy stars Matt Damon, Franka Potente and Julia Stiles.
Memorable quote - In Bourne Identity, this amnesiac hunk tells Marie "I can tell you the license plate numbers of all six cars outside. I can tell you that our waitress is left-handed and the guy sitting up at the corner weighs two hundred fifteen pounds and knows how to handle himself. I know the best place to look for a gun is the cab or the gray truck outside, and at this altitude, I can run flat out for a half mile before my hands start shaking. Bow why would I know that? How can I know that and not know who I am?"

The Indiana Jones franchise - Wait, wait, before you could go, "eh, this is not a trilogy!" let me tell you that this writer is still in denial and thus refuses to acknowledge the fourth installment (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) due to its horrifyingly bad storyline. I mean, c'mon...aliens, Indie? Like there's not enough ancient tombs to raid and mummies for you to evade, you had to get tangled up with extraterrestrial beings and Soviets now? And oh don't you get me started on Shia LaBeouf's character *hiss*
Memorable quote - "DON'T call me Junior!" shouts Indiana at his father (Professor Henry Jones, played by Sean Connery).

The Evil Dead Trilogy - If you're a fan of zombie movies and have never seen
The Evil Dead, kindly smack yourself over the head.
The Evil Dead, if you must know, is a trilogy of films created by Sam Raimi (yes, folks, Raimi is the same dude behind the
Spider-Man franchise). The story begins with five college students vacationing in an isolated cabin. There, they discover the
Necronomicon Ex-Mortis (the Book of the Dead). Their vacation soon turns nightmarish when they unintentionally release a hoard of demons who begin to kill and then, possess them.
Memorable scene:
Ash: (talking to the mirror) I'm fine, I'm fine.
(Mirror Ash jumps out of the mirror and grabs Ash)
Mirror Ash: I don't think so. We just cut up our girlfriend with a chainsaw. Does that sound 'fine'?
*Just FYI? This scene is a heart attack waiting to happen*
So yeah, there you go, five of the writer's favourite trilogies.
What's yours?
