Ten Best Sequels Ever

I just finished The Two Jakes (1990), the almost-never-discussed sequel to Chinatown (1974). It was surprisingly good. It's no Chinatown but it's nevertheless enjoyable. Also: it's directed by Jack Nicholson, which makes watching the film just a little bit more enjoyable.

In honor of this odd sequel, here is my coundown of the Top Ten Sequels Ever Made*

10. The Color Of Money (1986)
9. Babe: Pig In The City (1998)
8. The Dark Knight (2008)
7. Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990)
6. The Road Warrior (1981)
5. The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
4. Toy Story 2 (1999)
3. Bride Of Frankenstein (1935)
2. The Godfather, Part II (1974)
1. From Russia With Love (1963)

Honorable Mentions: Spider-Man 2, Star Trek II, The Addams Family Values, Aliens, The Bourne Supremacy, Batman Returns, Evil Dead 2, The Two Towers, and The Two Jakes.

Now, what did I miss?

*I have included only first sequels, the follow-up to the original. Thus, excluded are films like Prisoner Of Azkaban, Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade, and Casablanca 4: In Space. Also, I have only included movies in English, and movies that I have seen.
