All three are so awesome. I don't want to bias the poll by giving my opinion but I will say my favourite single entries from these are The Empire Strikes Back, Back to the Future 2, and Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.

I'd go with Star Wars for sure

Gonna go with Indy, because I think Return of the Jedi is kind of a (enjoyable) mess whereas I thoroughly enjoy all 3 of the og indy flicks.

Back to the Future is great and all but really it's only the first movie that is super strong. Indy is just 3 movies, 2 of them excellent, one merely good, but there's not much there that really makes them a trilogy. So that leaves Star Wars to take the W, because we can ignore the prequels and the Jar Jar Abrams shit.

It came out like 20 years later.
Love LOTR but it shouldn't really be compared here. It feels too different than John Williams rocking it to the action bangers of the 80's.

If sticking with the choices provided, 1. Indy 2. BttF, and 3. SW. The latest Sw movies really killed my love of SW as too much content diluted it for me and I think it is what keeps the others on top....until that next Indy movie comes out

Just watched the BTTF trilogy yesterday for the first time in a long time thanks to the Movies That Made Us on Netflix. The first one is pretty much a perfect movie, everything from when he takes his mom to the dance through the end is incredible.
The sequels aren't quite as good but still fun and the way they tie them all together is really clever and cool.
Not sure if I can put it above Indy though. Star wars is okay.

I like all 3 and it's hard to chose a favorite so I go with BTTF since it is the one I watched most as a kid, followed by Indy and then Star Wars.

I can’t choose. All three are a part of my soul. I am that stereotypical 80s kid who grew up with these 3 sacred trilogies when it comes to movies.
That said... Star Wars is the one I discovered last, and while I was seriously obsessed with BTTF for a while (watched 2 more times than I can count and waited for 3 like it was the second coming of Christ, only to forget about it after finally seeing it)... I became a Star Wars fan for years. SW is the only trilogy of the three that doesn’t have one movie I can skip without a second thought.
Indy 1 and 3 + BTTF1 is better cinema than SW ever was, but the SW trilogy is the strongest overall methinks.

Bttf because the others have been ruined by the sequels but Zemeckis won’t allow another bttf to be made without his say so.

Lord of the Rings
Indiana Jones
Back to the Future
Xenoblade
I love em all.
X-Men soft reboot could have been up there if they had not destroyed it with Apocalypse. First Class and Days of Future Past were a amazing, no a two time lightning in a bottle revival for that franchise after X-3 and deserved a better follow up than the trash we got with Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix.
Ditto Blomkamp's Alien 3 retcon with Ridley, Newt and Hicks taking place on Earth that got scrapped in favor of fucking Prometheus.
Jury is still out on Ghostbusters until Afterlife releases, and Sherlock Holmes unless they actually make a part 3.

Lotr is better than all of those and it's not even close. Out of those options I'd choose Indy though.

I pick non existing number 4, Lord of the Rings.

Star wars not even close. No matter how much people shit on the newer titles. Star wars is basically legendary. When i grew up everybody wanted a light saber and that was decades after the movie came out. The movies are timeless.
Lord of the rings overstayed its welcome to being dragged out to long and absolutely shit ending where u just wondered why eagles couldn't just fly the guy into the volcano. It just didn't age well. U gotta be some real lord of the ring fan to appreciate that slog of series.
Back to the future was great don't get me wrong. But hardly as impact as star wars lets be honest here. the second and 3rd movie where also questionable quality.
indiana jones, not a big fan of it. Its a nice movie series and my dad seems to like it a lot. I don't think it aged to well at this point in time. but are decent solid adventure movies.

My choice is all 3, they are vastly different from one another in genre and story!
Need a fourth choice! Lol

1: Indy. 1 and 3 are amazing, 2 is the low point but still really enjoyable.
2: Star Wars is great too, has nicer lore but I just don't find them quite as fun to watch as the Indy movies.
3: Back to the future. 1 is great, but 2 and particularly 3 have never really done much for me.

Personally I’d go for Indy. Return Of The Jedi is pretty average and BTTF isn’t really in the same league. All three Indy films are fantastic on their own way, and Raiders is arguably the most perfect adventure film ever made.

This is of course is the actual correct answer. It’s the best trilogy ever made.

I wouldn't have said this at time of release, but with the lens of time, I think Back to the Future holds up the best of all of them.

It certainly doesn't dip as hard in the final film as the other two. The others just have higher highs.
