Yea omitted Star Wars as thibnkiin everyone would know it was great lol.....Great choice Aragon

Like AR I enjoyed Back To The Future, as well as Godfather and Star Wars.

Worst sequels, well I've seen all the Tarzan movies made in late 1950's I think? I wouldn't exactly recommend them though

Thankfully I've never seen the Karate Kid series.

[Mr Flibble]

Aliens. The first two were great, but Alien3 should never have been made, and Ressurection was just pointless.

[Geckopat]

fav sequel StarWars, Die hard, Mummy and 'The Omen'

worst sequel Batman, RobotCop and 'Iron Eagle'

p.s. I'm going to the World Premiere Of Spiderman.
i really hope it would'nt be a let down.

[Aragorn Returns]

ah, batman wasn't all that bad, the thing is too many people try to take it serious, the tackiness is supposed to be funny. i didn't really like the second mummy, not so good i don't don't think.

[Tamerlane]

Here are two more nominations for worst sequels. Blair Witch 2 and Babe 2

Talk about destroying two hugely potential franchises while they are not even in their prime.

[Georgi]

Blair Witch 2... Why would someone even want to make a sequel when the originality of the first one is what made it so famous... it's hardly original the second time around...

Grease 2 Sooo lame (and yes dammit, the first one was a classic! )

Batman - not all the sequels were that bad, but Batman and Robin was... Certain movies do lend themselves quite well to the franchise, and superhero movies are the main one IMO - whether comic book ones like Batman, Superman, X Men (I know the sequel hasn't been made yet, but I'm betting it will be good), or the action hero ones like Indiana Jones, James Bond (I can't believe nobody mentioned James Bond yet - #20 out this Christmas, isn't it?)

Jurassic Park - two bad sequels

Star Wars - great sequels, shame about the prequel

Agree with Mr Flibble about Alien/Aliens...

Other good sequels: Terminator 2, Austin Powers TSWSM, Blade 2...

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that a great sequel will be... The Two Towers

[HighLordDave]

My favourite sequels:

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
Aliens
T2: Judgement Day
Desperado
Back to the Future III
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Return to Savage Beach

Good movies that never should have had a sequel:

Friday the 13th - the first one was actually pretty scary, but the remaining movies beat the series to death
Highlander - "there should have been only one"
Rocky - People forget how good the first Rocky movie was becasue the rest were so bad, but the original Rocky deservedly won Best Picture in 1976
Silence of the Lambs
Jurassic Park
Psycho
Nightmare on Elm Street - Original premise cool villain, should have stopped after the first one

Generally bad series of movies:

All of the odd-numbered Star Trek movies
All of the Star Wars with the word "Phantom" in the title - George's obsession with eye candy undermined all of the other important things (like character development and the plot) in what should have been a very good movie
Anything starring Dona Speir as Donna Hamilton

[Tamerlane]

They did a sequel for Grease

Another great sequel Toy Story and the Naked Guns

Further candidates for worst sequels. Police Academy, thank heavens I still a toddler in the 80's.

I am glad someone mentioned it

The sequels to this great film are nothing but appaling. They taint everything that was good about Psycho, they also destroyed Anthony Perkins career (although some say Psycho itself did that) A pox on all 3 of the sequels....

Yeah, you didn't know? Michelle Pfeiffer was in it.

@Sleepy but which is worse, the Psycho sequels or the Psycho remake?

I was spared of either!

In the same vein- Which is worse, the planet of the Apes sequels, TV show or the remake?

[EMINEM]

Best sequel? Probably Aliens. So many elements of Half-Life, and also Half-Life: Opposing Force, originated from of Aliens I'm suprised james Cameron didn't sue for copyright infringement.

Worst sequel? Probably Phantom Menace, considering its lineage.
