It got listed first since the EW.com article had a countdown of them.

[TLeeTx2012]

Out of this list my faves are:

MAD MAX 2: The Road Warrior
STAR TREK II: The Wrath of Khan
EVIL DEAD II: Dead by Dawn
THE DARK KNIGHT
INFERNAL AFFAIRS II
EVIL DEAD III: Army of Darkness
The Return of the Living Dead Part 2
TRON: Legacy
The Empire Strikes Back

[FrellingFrakker]

The ones I consider truly great from this list are:
X2
Wrath of Khan
Two Towers
Return of the King
Spiderman 2
GoldenEye (one of the best all time bond flicks, when the heck is this coming to Blu?)
Casino Royale
Godfather II
The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly
Empire Strikes Back

Also, where is Toy Story 3? I thought that was the greatest of the trilogy although I love them all.

It's Top 50, not Top 100.

[Dragon Lee]

Godfather II
The Empire Strikes Back
LOTR: The Return of the King
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Aliens
Terminator 2
Casino Royale
Spider-Man 2
Bourne Ultimatum
X-Men 2
Once Upon a Time in China II

All better than their predecessors!

....and Crimson Rivers II:AotA is in the top 50 of "best sequels ever made", Seriously?

[jvince]

The Empire Strikes Back, Spider-Man 2, The Dark Knight, and Toy Story 2 for me.

Did you watch it subtitled or dubbed or not at all? You're missing this smiley I believe. So sorry I enjoy films in other languages besides English.

EDIT: Nice coming from someone who owns all the idiotic Saw movies.

OMG I can't believe you included On Her Majesty's Secret Service in this poll, which I have always thought to be the best Bond movie ever made (by a hair over some other excellent Bonds from the 60s).

As far as Bonds go, I also really like License to Kill, but I pretty much think that everything else made between OHMSS and Casino Royale was crap. In the poll, I voted for:

Toy Story 2
Aliens
From Russia with Love
Goldfinger
OHMSS
TGTBATU
The Godfather 2
T2
Empire Strikes Back


Honestly, I like Batman Begins more than The Dark Knight...

But Batman Begins isn't a sequel to the 1989-1997 Batman film series. I was going to add some ZATOICHI films but I figured I'd leave it as a multiple choice for what's the best Shintaro Katsu ZATOICHI film.

No, I actually own and enjoy both Crimson Rivers films. I have them on dvd and have been looking to, at least, upgrade the first by importing it. I think I may have made a mistake. See, I thought by your initial post that you were making a definitive "greatest sequels ever made" list as in an AFI type or so. I see now that it's "your own personal list of greatest sequels". Well, that's a very different thing entirely and I just misunderstood. By the way, I do enjoy the Saw films. I feel they are intelligently written and put to shame, and I mean easily put to shame, most thrillers in current years. But, I guess we all have our varying degree of "greatest sequels ever made", now don't we? Take it easy.

What? No Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo?

[arcadeforest]

I picked Empire but Aliens was a very close second.

[Konfusion1230]

Empire Strikes Back. A lot of good sequels listed.

[DR Herbert West]

From Russia with Love

[hockeyshark91]

I'm one of the few that thinks Alien, although being a great sequel, pales in comparison to Alien. And I'll probably get flamed for this but, I prefer Alien 3 to Aliens. I like the slow burn, claustrophobia and darkness of it.
