I've not seen a single Lord of the Rings movie, so yeah, even the Karate Kid goes above that for me. :P

Don’t they get disqualified as they weren’t a trilogy. Even on that decade? :P

The more I think about it, the more Back to the Future wins my heart. I understand why Indy would be more popular here though.

I get it, 1 and 2 are awesome, very impressionable on childhoods, but 3 was below average and I like westerns and ZZ Top. A run of top notch trilogies is tough to rival Indy, though, no weak link, the "weak" link plenty like to cite is easily my favorite.

Back To The Future. 1 and 2 are great, 3 is okay.

Karate Kid is enjoyable, but 2 and 3 are unnecessary. 3 especially, as it is more or less a retelling of the first.

Indiana Jones, I like, but the mood to watch them strikes me less. Raiders and Crusade are the better of the trio.

BTTF gets my vote, though of all 9 of these films, Raiders would be my number one. Weird, huh?

Nah, not weird, it’s like Halloween or TCM. People might love the OG or an entry but doesn’t mean the series makes you blow your load.

There's a much better and much more popular alternate Denzel gif out there that you should have used instead.
