So, I decided to pull some great sequels from my memory to discuss what we think is the BEST MOVIE SEQUEL from this list. Now I know that some of you may have other sequels that you think are better than all on the list, but lets just let this go for the time being. Pick the film that you think is the WEAKEST LINK from the ones provided and when we finish we can discuss if anyone has any that could maybe beat our winner here.

Now to the FINALS to determine the BEST MOVIE SEQUEL from the films listed.

You are going to pick the film that you think is the "Weakest Link" after 2 days I remove the movie with the most votes. We will then crown our champion.

THE GODFATHER, PART II (1974)
ALIENS (1986) - Eliminated Round 3
EVIL DEAD 2: DEAD BY DAWN (1987) - Eliminated Round 1

    STAR WARS: EPISODE V - THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
    I love both of these movies but one is more of a fun movie while the other is possibly my favorite movie all around.  Easy decision for me although ESB is awesome.

    Sorry, Empire. You're my favorite Star Wars movie, but GFII completes the greatest two-movie run in American cinema.

    The middle section of Empire when Luke is training with Yoda is boring as hell, but the entirety of GF2 is boring as hell so begrudgingly, I'd have to vote for Empire to win. Terminator 2 is my pick for best sequel though.

    I love GFII, but I love the De Niro as young Brando flashbacks much more than everything else. ESB I love beginning to end. The absolute creative highpoint of Star Wars.

    This is like picking yield or no code as your favorite album.  I love both movies but I m going Empire for the win.

    Star Wars and all the sequels suck.

    EDIT - I only saw the first three, but I was so bored I assumed the “prequels” were just as bad and never watched them.

    A New Hope is a great (And iconic) matiné adventure. On its own.

    I don't feel the sequels are that needed. Anything told in those movies aren't needed.

    I can't believe we have such a high percentage of people who prefer a movie like ESB over a film like GFII.  
    I do love star wars and I am a fantasy nerd, but the real world is still more interesting to me.  :lol:.

    Argh, I don't know. Two completely different types of movies. I know ESB almost by heart, but GFII was a great movie. ESB leaves you with a cliffhanger ending though so maybe based on that I vote against it? GFII doesn't demand a follow-up movie, but if done right could have been great. I guess if I look at which one outshines it's predecessor, eh, probably neither. Popcorn entertainment value goes to ESB, but content goes to GFII. I think I'm going to have to flip a coin on this.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    That is NOT the real world, lol.  Even when it was really going on it wasn't THAT bad.

    It is not populated by aliens and robots, with people who control shit with their minds, dude, c'mon.  :)   You know what I am saying.

    I didn't move away from Brooklyn too long ago, and the shit was still going strong when I left.

    Hell, one of the only reasons I thought it would be a good idea to leave is that I didn't want my kids getting involved with their kids. I always gave a wide berth to the well suited and gold ringed and track suited and gold chained. And when I couldn't -- usually because we were both at the bakery/butcher/whathaveyou at the same time (only one of us paying for our goods, of course; I imagine the goons were there to collect "rent") -- I always made sure that my daughter smiled at the "nice man" (i.e., ruthless killer) if one noticed her in her stroller.

    Yeah, the whole hush hush Lucali pizzaiolo attempted murder went down when I was there. These fucking scum are still out there in great numbers, and they're still above the law.

    And the gruesome stories of violence and gore from the old timers are much worse than anything that Hollywood has even imagined. Human beings processed through meat grinders, cased into sausages, and sent to their families. Hearts cut out and nailed to front doors. Just fucking scum!
