I'm gonna have to agree with pretty much everything Jays said. The original Star Wars trilogy - even though ROTJ was not nearly as good as the first two, it was still good enough not to drag the entire thing down.
Godfather III should never have been made, I and II are two of the best movies ever made with II possibly being THE best movie made in the last 50 years. But no pick for "best trilogy" can have a movie as crappy as Godfather III no matter how good the other two are.
I can't pick LOTR because the books are just so much better. The Indiana Jones movies are great, but not Star Wars great. Matrix...pfft. The first was good but overrated, the sequels were horrendous. The Back to the Future movies were fun, but that's about it. And Star Wars Eps. 1 and 2 were terrible, haven't seen 3 yet but even if it's the best movie ever made the first two were so bad that it doesn't even matter.
So yeah, Star Wars 4-6, followed by The Godfather, LOTR, then Indiana Jones.
