              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.

                As for the list, I think that is pretty solid. I couldn't argue against any of them, although it was a few years before I even knew that SOTL was a sequel to Manhunter.

                I'm kinda surprised that Superman II wasn't on that list though. I thought it and Batman Returns were good sequels to the originals.

                  It's only the Top 10...I wouldn't switch out any of the selected movies for Superman/Batman Returns.

                  I don't particularly care for LOTR, but I'm surprised Two Towers isn't on that list. It was nominated for Best Picture after all.

                      I think "Aliens" should be moved down and "ST II: Wrath of Kahn" moved up. "The Road Warrior" was a sweet movie too.

                            Aliens kicked all form of ***!

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