Nominations for the best movie sequel
 

We have a poll for the worst movie sequel and I'd like to start a poll for the best movie sequel. But first I need a few nominations. In order to qualify the sequel has to be better or as good as the original movie.

The list so far (edited):
Terminator 2
Godfather 2
The Empire Strikes Back
The Return of the Jedi
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
National Lampoon's European Vacation
Road Warrior
Evil Dead 2
Bride of Frakenstein

No one sees the problem with that?

Re: Nominations for the best movie sequel
 

I think I see your point. The storyline of the original Terminator was better than the sequel and it's the special effects of Terminator 2 that make people believe it's the better film. While I personally think the first Terminator is the superior movie, I'm going to include Terminator 2 in the poll because so many people believe T2 to be better then the original.

I didn't read the part that says as good or better, I don;'t like that part. To me a good sequal should be one that doesn't suck ass, those are rare enough.

evil dead 2
road warrior
bride of frankenstein
rocky 4

Re: Nominations for the best movie sequel
 

Bride of Frankenstein is an excellent one. Road Warrior too.

Evil Dead I'll give a pass on. Even more so because it bizarrely chose to be a "do-over" rather than a real sequel. It was funny as hell, but nowhere near as special as the first one, which was a pretty amazing use of no budget at all and one set. Not quite like Lifeboat, but damn, that guy's good.

It is rare to find a good sequel that doesn't suck ass, but the true test of a sequel is to outshine the original movie. Too many times movie producers simply spit out crap to ride the wave of the first movie, rarely do we find gems.

I don't think the first Terminator is superior on any level. Quite the contrary.

Aliens is an excellent choice! I totally forgot about Aliens. I didn't like Temple of Doom but did enjoy Last Crusade. Technically Red Dragon is a prequel and I didn't like American Pie 2, but I'll give thought to any of those movies if others agree they should be included. I certainly don't want to be nominations nazi.

Re: Nominations for the best movie sequel
 

Anyone feel that the Lord of the Rings movies should be included? I could see how they shouldn't be considered sequels. Another movie I just thought of was Spider-Man 2.

I need 2ed's for:
From Russia With Love
Rocky IV
Dogma (I don't consider it a sequel but I'll include it with a 2ed)
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (I'm being told it's not a sequel)
And any other movie that's been posted that hasn't been put on the list. Either I don't feel they should be nominated or I simply haven't seen them but again I'll include them if others feel they belong.

"I don't feel they should be nominated"

This is not how OOT nomination threads work.

I understand, but I'll include movies that I don't feel should be nominated if multiple people believe they should. I'm not gonna put Home Alone 2 in the list just because gmrankin soley feels it should be.

GB&U - I say it is. Clint wears the distinctive poncho in all 3 'dollars' films at some point, which I call makes him the same character. Therefore they are a sequence of linked movies. (EDIT: There is debate whether the first two are linked and the third is not, whether none of them are linked at all and Clint is a different character in each, and so on. I site the poncho as my only proof. I won't be peeved if TGTBATU isn't included though)


So what if it's a bond movie, it's still not the first one in a series of linked films, and it therefore a sequel.
