In part I agree in that when I watch those movies I do it in six sittings, but on the other hand there’s stuff like Out 1 (8 parts, 13 hours) and Shoah (listed already in this thread, 9.5 hours) so I wouldn’t let the length be the only thing stopping you. Anyway just letting you know in case you made the choice out of respect for convention

The way Al Pacino says certain phrases in that film has permanently stained my vocabulary

For the record, it is my shame as a swede to have never seen this or any Ingmar Bergman film.

But Alien and Aliens would not be considered together because they have different directors? is that the differentiator?
don’t think mine has changed too much

I think the fact that the LotR films were all shot concurrently may help to consider them a single endeavor as well. Still thinking.

In my view Alien and Aliens are separate objects with distinct goals, visual languages, stories, and so on, shot years apart and made by different people aside from Weaver, while the Jackson Rings movies were all shot at the same time with the same crew and tell the same story.

It was even filmed all at once, though!
And to match the format of the books, no one views Lord of the Rings as anything but one book, not three. And certainly not six books (Fellowship, Two Towers, and Return are all split into two parts after all)
Ok. I’m convinced. I’m not going to turn down 2 more entries on my list.

Sometimes trilogies are actually a single work, and are split up into distinct parcels just for convenience or benefit for either the creators, the publishers, or the audience. Sometimes it’s just a small way to reinforce artistic form, even. Or just to make a book easier to hold.
For example, Final Fantasy VII R is a single videogame, split up into three parts, because not being able to sell it as a $60 single game that would take 200 hours to play and a decade of development probably would make at least one of Square Enix’s shareholders hire yakuza to go and have friendly chats with the executives who were actually brave enough to do it like that.

Did you watch this at home or catch one of those special theatrical showings?
Coincidentally picked up the elephant movie recently as I’ve been meaning to see it for a while.
