  • Empire Strikes Back >> A New Hope
  • Terminator 2 >> Terminator
  • Ghostbusters 2 >> Ghostbusters (maybe)

I know those ending credits were a joke... but I would watch EVERY SINGLE one of those movies. Take my money, now!

I am one of the few on this board who preferred Alien to Aliens. I also think the Godfather is better than Part II. And who the hell puts Ghostbusters 2 over the first?!?

  • The Dark Knight is one of my favorites, period. Let alone a sequel.
  • I'm tempted to put The Last Crusade on here... it's so close, I go back and forth.
  • Do Marvel movies count? I don't see why not, if we are counting the Dark Knight. If so, I would say Thor Ragnarok, The Winter Soldier, Civil War, Infinity War, Far From Home and End Game. Guardians 2 is another one that is very close for me, but the first will always hold nostalgia at first introducing us to that great crew.
  • Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite of the movies. Not too hard, since they butchered most of them.
  • T2 has already been mentioned.
  • Deadpool 2
  • Xmen: Days of Futures Past is my favorite of all of them
  • Ghost Protocol is still my favorite Mission Impossible movie

I think the Alien vs. Aliens debate is more about what kind of movie you prefer. Alien is a haunted house movie in space. Aliens is an action-oriented sci-fi/horror movie. They're both fantastic movies, but some folks prefer the slow burn and some prefer the guns blazing approach.

To contribute:
  • Each Wolverine movie was better than the last, culminating with Logan. X2 and Days of Future Past also outdid their predecessors
  • Spider-Man 2 was better than Spider-Man (Raimi versions)
  • Guess it's more of a spin off, but Birds of Prey was much better than Suicide Squad
  • There are several that folks have already said: Dark Knight, T2, 22 Jump Street, ESB

Getting ahead of this...Superman II is almost unwatchable and in no way better than Superman.

Carry on.

Tmnt 2 was more fun than tmnt1

(And that's really the only functional measure you can apply to those films)

Silence of the Lambs is difficult to rank.

Red Dragon and Silence are both top notch. Hannibal is...a step back. So, OP, could a prequel be better than an original?

Tend to agree; Khan is my favorite ST film, hands down. But somewhat like Alien vs Aliens, ST:TMP and Khan are really different genres. TMP takes itself very seriously and goes the hard sci-fi "BDO" (Big Dumb Object) route while Khan is an action flick.
