This month, there are 3 of the biggest part 3's to come out, since well ever. Most likely they will smash box office records when each one comes out. Spider-Man 3 already did so, with 148 million for the weekend. Shrek 3 is on it's way the 18th, and Pirates of the Caribbean 3 docks May 25th. So I thought it would be good to do a Top Five part 3 movies list. Ironically I came up with this idea 2 days ago in the shower. Then today, Darren Rowse announced a new group writing project. The Top 5 list. So here I am writing up a post I was going to make anyway, for a group writing project. You can read more about this group writing project here.
So the Top Five part 3 movies. I am not sure if you are aware of the utter crap that is the part 3, but I looked at a huge list of movies. I had a ton of part 3's to think about. However after a quick once over I slimmed down that list to 8! I went from 100 or more to 8. That shows you the total pile of crap that the part 3 can be. Before I list the best part 3's let's look at some of the worst.
- Batman Forever - So horrible, but not as bad as Batman and Robin
- Alien 3 - WTF was this crap
- Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome - The only thing this was good for, was a video from Tupac.
- Day Of The Dead - This could be the worst part 3 ever made.
- Godfather 3 - You broke my heart
Ok enough of the horrible. Lets get onto the good stuff. The Top Five part 3 movies of all time, according to The Reviewer.
#5 A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors
After the abysmal Nightmare 2, everyone feared the series lost. Then everyone at New Line put their heads together and came up with the best horror part 3 ever created. Nightmare 3 had a ton of amazing scenes, and horror all tied up together, with a story that was interesting. It always helps to have Freddy being totally awesome. This was his best movie as well. Bring back Nancy, add in some new kids with powers, and put Lawrence Fishburn in it and you got yourself the best horror part 3 ever created, sorry Friday the 13th 3-D.
#4 Mission Impossible 3
I didn't love part 1 and 2 of Mission Impossible. They were ok in my book, but nothing that was especially worthy of praise. After Tom Cruise kinda cracked, I thought part 3 was going to be even worse. Boy was I wrong. Non-stop action, awesome villain, good supporting cast, fun gadgets and technology, and a great story made MI3 one of the best action movies I have seen in a long time.
#3 LOTR: The Return Of The King
Can it carry to a third movie? There was almost no doubt at all that Peter Jackson would be able to execute the third rings story in an epic film trilogy that does the book and the other movies justice, but just how wonderful no one knew. Coming home with the best picture Oscar in 2004 along with 10 other Oscars. This one hit it out of the park. Now if only Sam and Frodo would confess their love to each other.
#2 Army Of Darkness
Sam Rami couldn't make the list with Spider-Man 3, but he did make the list with Army Of Darkness. No other part 3 has been quoted more by geeks across the internet than Army Of Darkness. This is my boom stick, give me some sugar baby, and tons of others. Lunching Bruce Campbell into a nerd cult status superhero, and just being a freaking awesome movie Army Of Darkness is the #2 best part 3 of all time.
#1 Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade
This movie is #1 by such a far margin. It was the easiest to pick out of the list as the clear winner. Action, comedy, Nazi's, The Holy Grail, Sean Connery, Indiana Jones, Motorcycles, Zeplins, Hitler and oh so much more. I could watch this movie over and over again, and I do actually because I own it on DVD. This movie makes me want to journey out into the desert and look for some magical artifact every time I watch it. Truly the best part 3 ever made.

I am very familiar with movies like Indiana Jones, Lord of the rings, and Mission Impossible (who isnt?) However, when it comes to the two titles, it took me a little searching before I could get a little background on them.
I am a little curious, are those two movies that I have mentioned been to the box office? Usually, if ever a movie gets a sequel, it is a common misconception that they are good.
Thanks for your post.
If you have time, why don’t you drop by my post:

It’s also an entry for the problogger top 5- group writing project. ^^ Goodluck to us all!
Nightmare 3 was the biggest money maker of the Nightmare Series. It was released in the theater in 1987. It really was the movie that kinda broke out Nightmare from horror fan movie to mainstream movie madness. Freddy really broke out into popularity during this time even with kids that were not allowed to watch the movie.
Army of Darkness is the third movie from the Evil Dead series. The director of the Spider-Man’s movies. Did these movies back in the 80’s. Army of Darkness was the best of the 3 in my opinion and is a very popular movie with geeks and cult movie types.
I am going through the top 5 list now, I will be sure to check yours out as well, thanks for commenting!
Oh. So the nightmare series is where that Freddy Kruger guy was starring in, am i right?
If my memory serves me right, there is also a video game on the playstation 1 or 2 about Evil Dead. I dont know if it is the same thing, but I think their picture are very much alike.
The both seem pretty old which is why I am not very familiar with any of them. Thank you very much for replying! ^_^
Yes nightmare is Freddy Kruger.

Good list! Army of Darkness should have been #1, though! LOVE LOVE LOVE that movie! Definitely one I can watch over & over & over! We need to plan an Evil Dead movie marathon this October….
Wow! You are over here doing for movies, what I’m trying to do for books. You had me at your intro (I so completely know what you mean): “I pretend to write movie (book) reviews, in hopes of one day someone reading them.” I read this Top 5 List — a great post for the Group Writing Project! What about the Star Wars movies? I hope that’s not a stupid question. Carry on, Reviewer! Sherri
While the Trilogy (the old one) is my favorite set of movies, I also recognize that Return of the Jedi is actually not a really good movie. I mean for the fanboys its awesome, but if we are talking truly quality part 3 films, it doesn’t beat anything on this list.

What about “The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly”?
I have not seen that movie…I assume it is possible it would make this list, but I have not seen those 3 movies, so I could not rate them, I would like to watch them and have been added to my queue since making this list.

Gotta agree with LOTR and Indy, but where’s Star Wars?
While the Trilogy (the old one) is my favorite set of movies, I also recognize that Return of the Jedi is actually not a really good movie. I mean for the fanboys its awesome, but if we are talking truly quality part 3 films, it doesn’t beat anything on this list.
Personally, I believe that Blade Trinity belongs on the good list. Blade I was awesome because it was the first (like The Terminator), Blade II was horrificly over stimulating, and Blade III was just plain great. Action packed, funny and the savior of that series.
I liked blade 1 way more than 3. But I never claim to be the declarer of anything past my own website. I probably missed some awesome part 3 out there according to a lot of other people. Thanks for the reply!
