Sadly, I am going to have to join the rest in saying that the omission of The Godfather II is a serious crime. Not only is the Coppola saga one of the film’s greatest accomplishments, but the first two of the trilogy are masterpieces in their own right. Many say the first is the best one, and that might be a reason why you did not put it on the list. However, I’m one of those who think the climax of the series is reached in the masterful performance of Al Pacino in part II (not to forget a young Robert De Niro playing young Vito)

If I may, I would also like to suggest Kill Bill: Vol.2, which is the great culmination of the saga and, in my opinion, the better of the two.
I also agree with another comment that a couple of films like “Bride of Frankenstein” and “Dawn of the Dead” would be on my list.

I will give you credit for creating lists like this because it takes courage and it is definitely not easy to please everyone.

Check out my young blog. I have several continuing series in film like “Secret Films” (great relatively unknown films), “IMDB top 250 films of all time” (reviews of the movies on the list), “Best Moments in Film History” (recapping some of my favorite scenes and/or moments in great films) and “Cinema that matters” (a look at films that serve a purpose beyond art and entertainment).

About the only decent bit of comedy in Ace Ventura was the shadow-nipple-tweaking scene. I very nearly wet my panst watching that, it was so funny.

The rest of the film I could have done without though.

I agree with many choices on your top 10 + mentioned in comments.

Ace Ventura 2 ? I thought it was equally as funny as the original (I might be out on my own with that pick)

I am actually really glad to see The Matrix Reloaded in here. I too was a fan. Of course I would add The Godfather II and Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade (actually I would also add Temple of Doom to that) as well as Back to the Future Part II.

I have to say, I probably enjoyed Iron Man 2 more than Spider-Man 2.

ah, not me, Rodney, unlike Orcs, we Elven people don’t watch mobster and crime films and anything overly dark and morbid

Phew. For a moment Dezmond, I thought you were gonna say something about the lack of Godfather II in this list….

I too enjoyed the Mummy franchise, with the second film being my favourite. I think the mix of score and imagery is just about perfect.

I’m a huge huge huge fan of THE MUMMY saga, and I absolutely loved MUMMY RETURNS as well. Those two film shows so much love for film and for what film stands for – weaving art out of dreams – that I’ve always held utter respect for them.
I love how Sommers paid attention to all possible details with so much love and talent. He basically made movies which can inspire every little kid to become a director one day.

My other favourite sequels are TWO TOWERS, which is my favourite part of LOTR, probably because it features the most of my beloved Karl Urban
And another film in my all time TOP FIVE is ELIZABETH THE GOLDEN AGE in which Shekhar Kapur also managed to create a master piece out of every possible scene.

Wow.

I realize that putting lists together is going to draw ire no matter what, but including the Mummy Returns and omitting Godfather II is nearly unforgiveable…

Good list, but I’m in the group wondering where Godfather Part II is.

The only offense against humanity is the omission of Godfather 2 from this list. The Mummy Returns?? Please. GF2 should be number 1. Forget sequels, it’s one of the greatest films of all time.
