DVD rental firm Lovefilm conducted this poll in celebration of Iron Man 2 coming out next week. Below are the results:
The top 10 film sequels:
1. Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
2. Terminator 2 (1991)
3. The Godfather Part II (1974)
4. The Dark Knight (2008)
5. Aliens (1986)
6. The Bourne Supremacy (2004)
7. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
8. Toy Story 2 (1999)
9. Meet the Fockers (2004)
10. Shrek 2 (2004)
"There's just no beating Star Wars" states Helen Cowley, editor of Lovefilm, "and fans have been very vocal in our poll to establish its place as the top sequel of all time."
I like that list but I thought The Dark Knight was better then Godfather 2. Just my personal taste.
Helen goes on to say:
"Film sequels give us the chance to see our favorite characters back on the big screen but it's rare to find a sequel that truly does its predecessor justice.
"It's great to see so many highly regarded titles in the top 10 and making their own mark on film history."
