I think Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade is the best of the four IJ movies.

You mean three ?

Empire Strikes Back is the obvious one. I also liked Godfather II better than Godfather.

For remakes, I like the True Grit remake better than the original, but really like both of them.

Should the 2nd and 3rd movies of a trilogy really be considered sequels? I always considered sequels movies that kind of stood on their own like the Terminator movies, Ghostbusters, or Indiana Jones.

It is universally known that KotCS is not recognized as one of the Indiana Jones movies. You missed his sarcasm

Quite a few have already been mentioned. I'll add the Dredd remake to the list.

I think Rocky IV was better than some before it and Rocky II was as good or better than I.

I thought Lord of the Rings got progressively better as well.

Oceans 11 is the first one that comes to mind as a remake.

Does Christmas Vacation count as a sequel to Vacation/European Vacation? If so, I'll go with that.

Although I think Star Trek: The Motion Picture gets too much hate, The Wrath of Khan is a masterpiece and one of the finest movies of all time. So, that's an easy one.


I'd have to say Wrath of Khan or the Empire Strikes Back as the two greatest sequels of all time.

Rocky II was a total bore.

Rocky I won best picture and was a great love story.

Rocky II - (it's just Rocky is stupid and buys tacky Tiger jackets and jewelry for his dog, Adrian is in a coma and then the last 15 minutes lets chase chickens again to win a fight because Adrian woke up.)

It's one of the worst sequels to a Best Picture.

You've had Godfather II
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

And then you have Rocky II.

Only Sting II is worse than Rocky II following an Oscar winner.
