Back to the Future is, as a whole, the best trilogy on this list.
When excluding LotR
Nope, including the LotR movies. I will die on this hill.
Specifically, Robert Zemeckis > Peter Jackson. the BttF trilogy was masterfully executed with great plot, pacing, and incredible attention to detail (down to things like e.g. "Twin Pines Mall" becoming "Lone Pine Mall" because Marty ran over one of Old Man Peabody's pines). Meanwhile, Peter Jackson couldn't even figure out how to get major plot points like the Scouring of the Shire to work, let alone Tom Bombadil.
Scouring of the Shire deserves to cut from the films. Imagine after we said our goodbyes, we get another short movie added on at the end.
Theres a reason why everyone remembers the Godzilla short film at the end of Jurrasic Park 2
