[QUOTE="Hriston, post: 9588768, member: 6787503"] No trilogies. The model for this should be the Martin Scorsese/Paul Schrader triptych: [I]Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, [/I]and [I]The Last Temptation of Christ. [/I] While I was driving a few days ago, I started thinking about the connection (in my mind) between [I]Star Wars [/I]and car culture, which I think comes to the fore in the trench run scene, and one of George Lucas's other films, [I]American Graffiti, [/I]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 [I]THX 1138 [/I](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: [LIST] [*][I]THX 1138[/I] [*][I]American Graffiti [/I] [*][I]Star Wars [/I] [/LIST] So that's the concept for the thread.
