Do the Hannibal Lecter films belong as a trilogy? Aside from the fact that there are actually four ( Manhunter not being included simply because he's played by Brian Cox and not Anthony Hopkins), but also because there's supposedly a prequel underway.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Bacteria ( talk) • contribs) 21:00, 13 June 2005 (UTC)
Should the article consist of:
A lot of (most) entries in this list are still referring to the first movie of the trilogy, since mostly no article has yet been made that refers to the trilogy as a whole. Brz7—Preceding undated comment added by Brz7 ( talk) • contribs) 00:30, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
I removed redlinks to a few trilogy titles of the form "This Movie trilogy|This Movie" that don't seem likely to receive their own trilogy pages apart from individual movie page(s) (for instance, Free Willy). Feel free to revert them as you see fit. I also propose that the year links be changed from "19xx" to "19xx in film", which seems more appropriate. Objections?— Crazilla 02:39, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Time will tell. I think all trilogies should have a trilogy article: "name of the trilogy" (trilogy). Brz7 00:54, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Help us decide how we will name series articles!

I was wondering whether or not we should include video games in the trilogies. I know that they are not movies, per se, but many of them have cutscenes that act like movies. A good example would be Enter the Matrix which shot actual live-action footage.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dogma100 ( talk • contribs) 03:10, 23 December 2006 (UTC).
Don't forget to put the years that the movies were released or will be release? Such as for Spiderman & Xmen trilogies. MarioV 23:43, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Should we take off the Star Wars lists? The series is on the "List of film series" page. It is also actually just a series of 6 films, despite the time gap, and the list is quite long to be dividing series in half and adding them. Tim Long 06:01, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
I think we should contact mr Lucas about this topic if he say it is series of 6 films it sould be conted as such other wise not. The Tramp 19:58, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
The Karate Kid is a trilogy by one director, but in 1994 The Next Karate Kid was released, being the official forth Karate Kid film, making the series more than a trilogy. Brz7 16:04, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Maybe we should decide to include also film series that include more than 3 films? This would need to rename the article to e.g. List of film series. On top of the list/article could be mentioned that the trilogies in the list are bold (or the list could be subdivided). Brz7 16:04, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Just noticed that some recent entries were elft off the reorg. If you remember your recent updates, please check to make sure they are on the list. Cmjc80 22:54, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Is there any good reason for this page to even exist? It's an extremely long list consisting of movies that happen to come in threes. Some were intended as trilogies, some just happen to be; some are still "in progress" and may get more entries at any given time. Some are clearly related, some of them are thoroughly arbitrary. Some are all theatrical releases, some include direct-to-video releases.
All of that, however, is somewhat beside the point. There don't seem to be lists of tetralogies or pentalogies, and there really shouldn't be, so what's the point of having a list for every "trilogy" that's ever existed? To steal an argument directly off of another discussion page here: "Wikipedia is not an indiscrimate collection of information." See Wikipedia:Listcruft as well. Also, Is the list's criteria so open-ended as to welcome infinite results or abuse? from Wikipedia:Lists in Wikipedia.
Any of the information about what films are sequels to each other or that a certain someone feels are thematically linked into an arbitrary trilogy should be (and most likely is) included on the separate pages for the individual films.
I'm nominating it for deletion. JoAnneThrax 22:57, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
The 'Bourne' movies are listed twice on this page: Once under "The Bourne Trilogy" and once under "Jason Bourne" Novac 07:43, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
mission impossible needs to be added I would do it myself but am busy at the moment.-- intraining Jack In 13:33, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
Please see Talk:Film_series#Requested_move - Robsinden ( talk) 12:35, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
I have removed a list of three films: Aguirre, Wrath of God, Fitzcarraldo, and Cobra Verde. Aside from being directed by Werner Herzog and starring Klaus Kinski, can anyone explaine why these should be on the list? Robsinden ( talk) 09:33, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
These three movies directed by Sergio Leone do not form an established series. Robsinden ( talk) 09:33, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
I am just curious as to why American Pie isn't on there. It is a trilogy, American Pie, American Pie 2, and American Wedding. "The American Pie presents" films are a separate entity and its only real connection to the trilogy is Eugene Levy. Its kind of like National Lampoon namesake. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.91.187.31 ( talk) 02:27, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Removed this section: the three movies are not related to one another, beyond starring Batman. Vjmurphy ( talk) 15:48, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
The Twilight Saga isn't a Trilogy, just because there are three movies. The story is not over yet, there are already four books and they are gone make a fourth movie! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.139.87.116 ( talk) 16:10, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
I think there should be a break down between theatrical trilogies and ones that have direct to video films. I know they are marked with a (v) or (tv) but they should be in two different section. That or we should make another page with just moves that were released in theaters. 75.150.239.241 ( talk) 18:51, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
Babji2000 ( talk) 09:22, 17 October 2016 (UTC) Famous trilogies are removed from the list page. Ex: "The Lord of the Rings" is removed. Among other list pages as well, I am seeing discrepancies where spin-offs are merged. Ex: Cars sequel has the movies of the spin-off Planes as well (List of film series with five entries) Sequels for predator and alien are removed and merged under "Aliens VS Predator" which is plain wrong.What is the rationale behind this?
Removed this France short subject series from the article since this article is about feature films. DoctorHver ( talk) 18:14, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Only canon films is add in entries with 3,4 or more... Black Christmas 3 films are not canon -- 84.252.28.57 ( talk) 18:06, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi. I can see that almost every spin-off films are included in the lists of film series here in the List of feature film series with (number) entries articles. I don't think it's actually correct, as most spin-off films are not a part of the film series, but a separate film in the same franchise as the film series. I guess that if it's a spin-off/sequel hybrid film like Men in Black: International (part of the Men in Black franchise) and Finding Dory (part of the Finding Nemo franchise), it should be included in the lists of film series since it's 50 % spin-off/50 % part of the film series. But if it's a 100 % separate spin-off film that's not a part of the film series like Hobbs & Shaw (part of the Fast & Furious franchise), Lightyear (part of the Toy Story franchise), Planes 1 and 2 (part of the Cars franchise), Lavalantula 1 and 2 (part of the Sharknado franchise), and Minions 1 and 2 (part of the Despicable Me franchise), it should not be included in the lists of film series. So I think we should either remove every 100 % spin-off films from these lists here in these articles or rename the articles where the word series is replaced with the word franchise.
