I could spend the rest of the week discussing potential alternatives (Godfather II springs to mind first), but I suppose it's difficult to comprehensively disagree with this.

As I just pointed out to someone else on my Facebook, the Godfather films bore me.
Your mileage may vary.

That Mike Myers bloke's a flippin genius!!

In all seriousniocity I preferred "Return of the Jedi," partly because of my unnatural need for a happy ending, but also because I prefer the story-telling method and fluidity of the film. I suspect there would be a lot of debate amongst movie buffs as to the "greatest" but I suppose that's why they release these things.

I loved the three Austin Powers films but the 2nd one was not quite as good if only because Elizabeth Hurley wasn't in it much ;)

My immediate reaction was that Aliens should be 'best sequel' until I saw Toy Story 2 in there. Game over.

Empire is the best Star Wars film but all 6 of them are hampered by poorly written dialogue and shoddy acting. Billy Dee Williams for example...he's worse than Jar-Jar Binks.

Fair enough. To say they were rubbish would be patently untrue. But I can understand boredom. Although I love them, it makes sense.

Empire, T2, Dark Knight or Aliens I'd have been happy with.

T2 or Aliens yes, I didn't enjoy Dark Knight - it's the happy ending thing again as well as the fact that it felt very much like a "middle" movie, not a story in it's own right and it was so dark all the time I found it hard to keep up.

1) :o

2) Was it really a happy ending? The Bat taking the blame for Harvey Dent and going into exile with the entire city believing him to be a criminal / hunting him?
