Greatest Film Sequels of All Time

Image via Wikipedia

In reference to movie sequels, people always say that the original is always better, or that a sequel can never be as good as the original. I am inclined to disagree (I'm always up for a good sequel), and apparently so are many others.

I was listening to Paul & Young Ron on the radio the other day and they read off their list of the ten greatest film sequels of all time. Among them were The Godfather II, Aliens, The Empire Strikes Back, Terminator 2, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, The Road Warrior, and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

Their list is a good start, but mine would look a little different. Here goes:

10. Superman II
9. The Dark Knight
8. Aliens
7. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
6. Back to the Future Part II
5. Ghostbusters 2
4. Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade
3. Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
2. Terminator 2: Judgment Day
1. Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
