The ocean trilogy is really good. The second kinda fell flat but the Oceans 11 and 13 are great.

Too bad the Bourne had nothing to do with the books.

Star wars
Godfather
Scareface (long enough to make 3 movies).

Last one, at least the novel, is "The Last Full Measure".

Best trilogy is Indiana Jones. I refuse to count the new one.

Best trilogy?  you should be kicked in the nuts, there were only 2 good Indiana Jones movies, the Raiders of the Ark and the Last Crusade.  #2 and #4 were utter crap.

Best trilogy of all time is Star Wars IV, V and VI. With Star Wars V being the best sequal to a movie ever made.

He knows not what he speaks of.


For me, it would probably be LOTR, followed by star wars, and then Godzilla series (So corny its awesome)


I read two star wars book and unlike normally when a book is made and  then a movie is made out of it it becomes crap since it was the opposite the book only told the story of exactly what happened in the movie and it sucked.

Our opinions differ, but learn to appreciate the scores of spin-offs as well!  Vector Prime, Rebel Dawn, Ambush at Correllia, Splinter of the Mind's Eye; all great books.

So what you're saying is you enjoy the books in print, but not the movies based on the books?

FAIL.

New Jedi Order was an absolute MESS and it, and everything that came after, should never have happened (I mean seriously, Jacen as a Sith Lord? Daala being elected president? WTF?). Corellian Trilogy was ok, but there were FAR better books in the Bantam run.

Only books that were really worth reading:

The Thrawn Trilogy (Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, Last Command)
The X-wing Novels (Stackpole really nailed the feel of the film's space battles, and the "Redemption Scenario" at the beginning was a great reference to the games. I LOVED Allston's sense of humor. The Ewok pilot running gag had me in stitches)
I, Jedi
The Hand of Thrawn (Specter of the Past, Vision of the Future)

Lucas should have hired Timothy Zahn to write the Prequel Trilogy. It would have been AWESOME.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.
