Ice Age :
Manny: The unofficial leader who is just an everyman trying to get by. (Ego)
Actually I would think that Manny is the Superego due to his anti-social behavior towards others and his overwhelming family and life ideals while Diego would be the Ego considering he acts more as the mediator of the group. (Though Diego also shows Id qualities especially in the third movie when he wanted to have another adventure just for his own pleasure and self assurance)

The Matrix :
Neo (Id)
Trinity (Superego)
Morpheus (Ego)
If they are meant to represent the conflicting forces of the id and the superego, Neo and Trinity seem to get along rather well... any freudian elements in The Matrix (e.g. Agents = id) operate on a wider and more general level than a "power trio".

Pirates of the Caribbean Jack: (Id: Chaos) Will use conversation to avoid bloodshed (especially his own) but is prone to trickery and can resort to some pretty underhanded tricks.
Will: (Super Ego: Order) Traditional, straightforward and honest but stubborn and unyielding to a fault.
Elizabeth: (Ego: Reason) Tries to use the method that best fits the situation and utilizes bluffs and honest diplomacy almost equally.
While the following are hardly a power trio, The Curse of the Black Pearl sets up a nice id-ego-superego dynamic with, respectively, Jack, Will and Norrington: "[My place is] right here - between you and Jack." (Fun fact: Schopenhauer's analogue of the id was called the Will.)
The Philadelphia Story George (Superego): stable, moral, and unimaginative
Mike (Id): impulsive, sensitive, and romantic
Dexter (Superego): more laid-back that the former but more mature than the latter

TRON: Legacy Id : Sam Flynn (proving the apple really didn't fall far from the tree )
Ego: Quorra "profoundly naive, yet infinitely wise" , prone to a few reckless stunts of her own, but overall much more focused than Sam is.
Superego: Kevin Flynn inverts his role from the first, but twenty-one years of exile and humility learned in the harshest way possible will do that.
Zardoz : The Eternals
Id: Friend
Ego: May
Superego: Consuella and Avalow
