I'm kind of tempted to vote for Spartacus, but I only got the box set a few days ago. Maybe Star Wars? Really, any of these, though.

I would tend to say The Lord Of The Rings. But since it's not an option, then I vote for The Return Of The King.

Still, I think that The Lord Of The Rings scores have to be perceived as just parts of one big score, really. After all, The Lord Of The Rings isn't a trilogy, per se.

The films do literally start right where they left off, but in the strictest sense it's a trilogy. Three separate films with three separates scores that have a very tight musical continuity.

You're arguing over something silly.

"A trilogy is a set of three works of art that are connected, and that can be seen either as a single work or as three individual works."

Yet...

"One of the most popular "trilogies" of fantasy books, The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien, is not a trilogy, though it is often referred to as such. Tolkien regarded it as a single work and divided it into a prologue, six books, and five appendices. Because of post-World War II paper shortages, it was originally published in three volumes. It is still most commonly sold as three volumes, but has also been published in one-volume and seven-volume editions (six books and the appendices)."

TLOTR is and is not a trilogy simultaneously. Why is this a problem?
