Favorite Sequels of All Time

[codenamebags]

So the other night, my buddies Daniel and NDX and I were discussing what we felt to be some of the best sequels in the history of movies. It was quite the fun discussion! So why not bring it here?

Personally, I've always had a love for sequels and I've never quite figured out why. I think a big reason is because everyone else seems to hate them. And I'm a fan of some weird ones, too. So here's a short list of the ones that come to my mind when I think of sequels that I actually like that no one else seems to like(Because we all know the good ones, such as The Empire Strikes Back and Terminator 2).

Smokey and the Bandit 2
Smokey and the Bandit 3
First Blood: Part 2
First Blood: Part 3
The Expendables 2
The Expendables 3(Ronda Ronda Ronda)
Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith
Halloween 3: Season of the Witch
Austin Powers in Goldmember
Rocky 5(3 was my favorite)


I could go on and on. I love sequels. What about you?

[NDX]

Halloween 3 is still the best movie of the series. Don't care what anyone says.

And Rocky 4 is still my favorite Rocky of them all.

Terminator 2
Aliens
Expendables 2
Rocky 4
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Rambo: First Blood part 2
The Naked Gun 2 1/2
Halloween 2 and 3
Friday the 13th part 7: The New Blood

Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead were awesome, as was Fright Night 2, not the new one. Hmmm, Friday the 13th part 2 was awesome, so was A Nightmare on Elm Street part 2.
Aliens, Bride of Re-Animator, Evil Dead 2, The Devil's Rejects, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, Scream 2. Army of Darkness, 28 Weeks Later, Wes Craven's New Nightmare, The Conjuring 2, Hellbound:Hellraiser 2, Jeepers Creepers 2.
Just a few I kinda like.

From this Wikipedia page, Category:Sequel films, here are mine, alphabetically:

Ant-Man and the Wasp
Avengers: Age of Ultron
Avengers: Infinity War
Bride of Frankenstein
Captain America: Civil War
Dracula's Daughter
Friday the 13th Part 2
Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives
Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood
Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Hatchet II
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Once Upon a Time in Mexico
Spider-Man 2
Spider-Man: Far From Home
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Thor: Ragnarok

Now there are sequels missing out the wazoo on that Wikipedia page. Like a lot of horror series and action movies. Among other genres. T2 is great. Planet of the Apes has a pretty great franchise. Another good Star Trek flick is Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. The list goes on. I wish I could remember everything.

Spiritual sequels should be considered too, like John Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy or Edgar Wright's Cornetto Trilogy.

Two more things. I still need to see The Godfather Part II, something that really hurts the film buff in me, and I also want to rewatch the Lord of the Rings series again. Seeing as Fellowship is the one I'm favoring the best right now.
