Re: Empire Beats Godfather

David : I thought the list was actually pretty good, though I agree that the order is ridiculous. Here is how I would rank those films:

1. The Godfather Part II (1974)
2. Toy Story 2 (1999)
3. The Dark Knight (2008)
4. Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
5. Terminator 2 (1991)
6. The Bourne Supremacy (2004)
7. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
8. Aliens (1986)

Two that I’d add to the list (to replace Meet the Fockers and Shrek 2 ) are I ndiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Evil Dead 2 .

What other sequels should make the cut?
