According to Quentin Tarantino, This Is the Only Perfect Film Trilogy. “It Does What No Other Trilogy Has Ever Been Quite Able to Do”

As a cinephile with decades of film-watching under my belt, I wholeheartedly agree with Quentin Tarantino‘s choice for the best cinematic trilogy – the “Dollars Trilogy.” Having grown up watching these masterpieces, I can attest to their brilliance and the way they have influenced modern cinema.


Quentin Tarantino is a film director who has left an indelible mark on cinema and requires no introduction to movie enthusiasts. Known for movies such as “Pulp Fiction,” he frequently shares his opinions about other films and even commented on the greatest cinematic trilogies. While there are many contenders, according to Tarantino, one series stands out as the best. However, if another trilogy hadn’t been extended beyond its prime, it too would have been a formidable competitor.

Tarantino expressed during the Club Random podcast that he holds _Toy Story_ in high regard and considers it as a strong contender for the best film trilogy, had the fourth installment not been produced (and with a fifth installment now underway). In other words, the filmmaker identified another esteemed trilogy that he believes deserves the top spot. He elaborated on his thoughts and stated that no other trilogy has accomplished what this one did.

When it comes to “Toy Story,” the third installment left me absolutely spellbound. It’s easily among the finest films I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. If you’ve followed the series up until that point, let me tell you, it’s heart-wrenching. But here’s the kicker – three years down the line, they released a fourth film. Frankly, I have no burning curiosity to catch it. The story was wrapped up so beautifully, so perfectly, that no, I don’t care how good it is. I’ve reached my limit. I feel content with the ending as it stands.

Among all trilogies, I believe none exceeds in every aspect quite like the one comprising “A Fistful of Dollars,” “For a Few More Dollars,” and “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.” Each film builds upon the previous one, reaching unprecedented heights. While the first is excellent, the second surpasses it by expanding the concept to grander scales, leaving the initial installment in its wake. The third then does the same with the second, a feat rarely achieved in trilogies. Typically, you’ll notice a significant leap from the first to the second film, but the third often fails to maintain this momentum.

As a devoted admirer, I wholeheartedly agree with Quentin Tarantino’s observation that trilogies can sometimes encompass films of wildly varying quality, and at times, a series may reach a plateau that dilutes its overall impact. Choosing the Dollars Trilogy as an example is far from uncommon; these movies truly stand out and are revered as cult classics. With each installment, the storytelling expands in scope, scale, and depth, all while preserving Sergio Leone’s unique directorial flair.
