Great list Dan…I agree on every movie here. If T-2 was released in the 80s,it should be here too…too bad T-2 was in the90s.

Tho I am not going to start saying that those sequels are better than the 1st.

Nice list! YAY on Superman II and The Last Crusades, my all time fave sequels. Christopher Reeve shall always be the best Superman ever… no matter how many adaptations they’re doing.

Castor wrote: “I have to say I loved Alien more than Aliens. Just seeing Last Crusade on the list makes me want to pop the DVD and watch it as it’s been so long.”

…I think that’s why I love nostalgia lists, Castor. It’s great to look back at the old classics.

If you like the Top 5 definitely check out the Back To The Future trilogy – number 2 is actually the weakest of the series but still well worth watching.

The top 5 of this list is impeccable and contains some of the greatest sequels ever made.

Aliens is quite possibly the best sequel ever made.
The Empire Strikes Back is the best entry in the Star Wars series.
The Last Crusade is a fantastic and fun adventure flick.
The Wrath of Khan is one of the great sci-fi flicks.
The Road Warrior is a fantastic car chase film with a rich world.

Well done.

Haven’t seen most of the rest of your list to be honest.

I must be the only person who actually prefers Beverly Hills Cop 2 to the first one – it’s funny, faster paced, and the characters have really grown into the roles.

…I actually think it was a good call on Halloween 2. One of the better sequels and certainly one of the best Halloween films after the original. Very creepy stuff and I love the fact it begins directly after where the original ends.

Other than that, I can’t argue with any of the choices really. Aliens is a classic and great choice for number 1.

Wow…a decade when sequels were actually good…and in some cases better than the previous film. Roll forward two decades and we get Spider-Man 3, Pirates of the Caribbean 3, et al. At least we can still hold out hope the new Batman films will continue a certain level of quality as long as Christopher Nolan is involved.

Not a big fan of Halloween 2 but otherwise excellent list.

Fantastic list, really enjoyable read and cool choices. I love Jedi though so would have swapped Empire for it.
