Best multi-part film?

Postby CaptCrispy » Mon May 14, 2012 4:22 pm

My lovely wife has gone and left me again - working with the IAA on Dublins new R/T equipment; I was hoping to go with her for some Irish flying but I'm still waiting by the postbox like a crazed junkie for my license to arrive.

While she is away I am trying to choose some films to watch over the next few days, any suggestions for best multi-part, trilogy type films?

Rambo.
Rocky
Harry Potter
The even numbered Star Treks
The Connery Bonds
Pink Panther one and two starting with A Shot in the Dark

Or perhaps you wanted something thought provoking , in which case I can't help.

"Matrix", if you can understand it.
"The Bourne...." if you like a bit of action hero stuff.

The Iwo Jima movies are indeed stunning.

Try also the full length versions of Fanny and Alexander, The Leopard, and Das Boot.

Or try the John Ford Cavalry Trilogy.

Sorree Gerard, I make lots is misteaks when I type qwikly ;)

Good list of films guys and girls, some of them I have at home and totally forgot; others I have not heard of so I may well go shopping.

The Matrix and Bourne are favourites, as are the Clint films. I am in two minds about Lord of the Rings, in the same way I am about Hitchhikers.
I read the original books many years ago, in doing so you create a mental film in your mind as you read. Then when films are made they just don't live up to it; although Lord of the Rings did a fantastic job.

Talking of films, anyone remember Hotel New Hampshire?

I remember seeing it years ago and have been trying to get it on DVD for several years.

Then in the UK last Christmas I found it - I'm saving it for a special night this week, hope it's as good as I remember.
