Cable Guy, The Grinch, and (spoilers) The Number 23 , all depending on your POV.

Also, IMNSHO all three of those basically suck. I like Jim Carrey sometimes, but not in any of those.

Fun fact, despite being only 11 years old, I convinced my parents to let me see all three of these in the theatre, red-and-blue glasses and all...

Another vote for John's "Apocalypse Trilogy"

The Thing
Prince of Darkness
Mouth of Madness

And the thematically "All based on the same source material"

Miller's Crossing
Yojimbo
Last Man Standing

Miller's Crossing

Could also substitute "A Fistful of Dollars" in the second set. Toho Studios sued over it and won.

 

[MoonSong]

Ancient Astronauts.

2001 a Space Odyssey
Stargate
Fifth element.

 

[Eyes of Nine]

No trilogies.

The model for this should be the Martin Scorsese/Paul Schrader triptych: Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and The Last Temptation of Christ.

While I was driving a few days ago, I started thinking about the connection (in my mind) between Star Wars and car culture, which I think comes to the fore in the trench run scene, and one of George Lucas's other films, American Graffiti, came to mind, and I thought it might be interesting to watch the two films back to back in an old-school double feature. Now, because I like things in threes, I thought three films would be even better, and THX 1138 (which I've never actually watched) seemed like the natural choice being the only other feature length film directed by Lucas in his early career. I think I'd watch them in chronological order, so:

• THX 1138
• American Graffiti
• Star Wars

So that's the concept for the thread. Three films, ideally by a single auteur and perhaps held together thematically.

Also, I know 6+ hours of viewing is a lot, but I'm not interested in debating the validity of planning a triple feature to watch, so I've made it a (+) thread.

I very vividly remember this image from THX, and little else. But car culture, yeah it had it...
