Re: Entertainment Weekly's 10 Best Movie Sequels

The list is pretty good actually. I don't know if I'm buying the Silence of the Lambs as a sequel however.

It's supposed to be a sequel to this 1986 film Manhunter

Oh yeah, that movie was brutal. SOL was so much better.

Man I love me some 'Back to the Future.' 2 definately should've been on there IMHO.

Re: Entertainment Weekly's 10 Best Movie Sequels

I think a major factor in selecting these movies was that they improved on the original. This would probably be enough to be called a "best movie sequel" since it bucks the trend of crappy sequels. Clearly, all of the movies selected are at least as good as the previous movie. Most are far better.

I don't think Back to the Future 2 was better than the first one.

From taking another look at that list, I think I'd agree with that assessment Defel. I liked Before Sunrise and The Terminator better than their sequels, I would agree that I like all those other sequels better than the original.

Re: Entertainment Weekly's 10 Best Movie Sequels

I think Before Sunrise and Before Sunset are great movies. The conversations between Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy are great in both movies. The second movie happens pretty much in real time, which is cool as well. The both drama love stories, so they aren't going to be everybodies idea of a good movie.

2 of my fave movies. very underappreciated movies, but have big cult followings. i hope they make a 3rd one...like 9 years later

Before Dawn? Before Twilight?

Re: Entertainment Weekly's 10 Best Movie Sequels

I figured, Before Midnight. I remember watching the special features on the Before Sunset DVD and they talked about how when they started the project with Before Sunrise, how they would love to make more movies about the two characters with them meeting at different times in their lives. I thought Before Sunset ended very well, I'm not sure if I would want them to go any further. But I am glad they did make Before Sunset and I'm glad they waited as long as they did before it was made, it worked out very well.

I thought Back to the Future 2 was awful.

X-Men 2 was every bit as good as the first one.

Aliens kicked all form of ***!
...

I think the list is pretty good too. Aliens deserves to be on there but I'm not sure as high as #4. That's why they make the lists though...to be debated! The only one of the Alien movies I got to see in the theatre was III and thought that was awesome. I think Aliens is the one I've seen the least amount of times. Not by choice though. Maybe that's why I feel the way I do.

If Toy Story 2 can make the 10 spot, then you can pretty much throw in whatever movie sequel you want there in my opinion.

The article said that Godfather 2 was the first sequel to win Best Picture. Isn't it the only sequel to win Best Picture?
