Re: EMPIRE'S TOP 50 MOVIE SEQUELS Halloween III might scrape into the top 30 horror films of all time? Really? And I like Halloween III.

Re: EMPIRE'S TOP 50 MOVIE SEQUELS The list is now forgiven for including Wes Craven's New Nightmare at #17. But how is Return of the Jedi on there at #21 but (apparently) no Revenge of the Sith? Especially when friggin' Shrek 2 made it.

Re: EMPIRE'S TOP 50 MOVIE SEQUELS Solid list. Besides the obvious amazing sequels (Aliens, The Dark Knight, Terminator 2), I like the inclusion of New Nightmare, Mission: Impossible III, Scream 2, the Bournes, etc.

Re: EMPIRE'S TOP 50 MOVIE SEQUELS I agree with:
28 Weeks Later
Nightmare on Elm Street 3
Gremlins 2
Scream 2
Addams Family Values
New Nightmare
Batman Returns
X2
Toy Story 2
Terminator Judgement Day
Aliens
But...
Halloween 3 are you kidding me?
The Lost World?!? Seriously?
Scream 2 and Batman Returns are my favourite sequels of all time.
Fuck the theory that sequels can never be better than the originals....actually as discussed in Scream 2.

Re: EMPIRE'S TOP 50 MOVIE SEQUELS Halloween III is overcompensation. Because there's a large group of people who despise it for not having Michael Myers, a small minority has sprung up proclaiming it to be a truly classic horror film.

Re: EMPIRE'S TOP 50 MOVIE SEQUELS 50 is apparently just way too high a number. They had to fill in the slots with movies they don't even pretend to like.

Re: EMPIRE'S TOP 50 MOVIE SEQUELS They said they didnt include LOTR because they think of it as 1 piece since it was filmed together.
Anyway, where the hell is Mad max 2 and the good, the bad and the ugly?

Re: EMPIRE'S TOP 50 MOVIE SEQUELS http://worldofkj.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=45239Im still quite happy with my list, and think they may have checked mine out. TDK would be high on my runner-up spot now, and kudos for Bill and Ted 2, I forgot about that one (But I really love the first too) I've always liked New Nightmare and Nightmare 3, but I think there's been a lot of better sequels out there.

Re: EMPIRE'S TOP 50 MOVIE SEQUELS Please say Mad Max 2 is there. I checked the top 20 and no show.

Re: EMPIRE'S TOP 50 MOVIE SEQUELS Empire should have been in the top 5. I would put Godfather 2 first over Aliens.

Re: EMPIRE'S TOP 50 MOVIE SEQUELS Jedi Master Carr wrote: Empire should have been in the top 5. I would put Godfather 2 first over Aliens. Sequel wise, I would put Aliens over, I think it surpasses the original in most aspects, certainly by being more than just a defining genre movie. Godfather 2 while an awesome sequel is not necessarily a better film than the original, so on Sequel status Aliens has done more. _________________Chippy wrote: As always, fuck Thegun.

Re: EMPIRE'S TOP 50 MOVIE SEQUELS The Dark Shape wrote: Yeah, in bizarro world. is this for real? ROTJ is approximately 4.79 times better than ROTS. admittedly this is just an estimate, but it's nearly accurate. _________________Mr. R wrote: Malcolm wrote: You seem to think threatening violence against people is perfectly okay because you feel offended by their words, so that's kind of telling in itself. Exactly. If they don't know how to behave, and feel OK offending others, they get their ass kicked, so they'll think next time before opening their rotten mouths.
