To add to the ones already mentioned.

The Conjuring

The Hunger Games

As per the third ones of each are the weakest.

El Mariachi, Desperado, Once Upon A Time In Mexico
Austin Powers
Toy Story
How to Train Your Dragon

Finally, someone gets to the correct answer.

All other trilogies are a law of finishing returns. Toy Story massively bucks the trend by getting better each film.

N.B. I consider Toy Story 3 as the definitive end as Toy Story 4 is garbage.

Sweden
Die Hard (I've only seen the first three but I've heard there's one or two more)... first and third are great, as good as action movies come, the second is straight up bad though and everything that is usually wrong with the genre.

West is BEST
I thought the 2nd one was great. Better than 3. The first one is an absolute triumph.

Millennium Trilogy by miles.

The english versions and the new Lagercrantz ones post Larsson are gash.

Really tried with the Swedish originals. Just found them overly long, dull, and the denouement lazy, unoriginal and not worth the time invested. Apart from that, is it PotG?

Neither are strictly trilogies because one series has been continued after the original author died, and the other is sandwiched by another trilogy, the last part of which has yet to be published (or written) much to my consternation.

Millennium
His Dark Materials.

Jean-Paul Sartre’s “Roads to Freedom”, which is a trilogy of books but serialised on the BBC in the early 1970s and recently repeated.

I’m terms of films, Dollars!

PS - and another book Trilogy - Evelyn Waugh’s “Sword of Honour”, serialised years ago on TV with Edward Woodward as Guy Crouchback.

That's a REAL shame Cheeky.

As with everything in life, it's all down to opinion. If we all liked the same music, football teams, food and politics, life would be exceedingly dull.

Looks like Sir HWT has a similar view above.

HWT is a frickin lunatic. I'm off to the Best Depeche Mode album thread, it feels safer over there, possibly.

[MENTION=38333]Swansman[/MENTION], do you rate the Millennium Trilogy (Larsson)?
