Yeah, Empire Strikes Back is my favorite out of the original 3 Star Wars movies.
And Wrath of Khan is definitely the best Star Trek movie.
I also like Terminator 2 better than the first movie.
Shanghai Knights was better than Shanghai Noon.
I have to disagree on those two statements. I still think T1 was the best of the films. It had a solid story, and Cameron didn't need to have a huge special effects budget to tell the tale. I think T2 went way overboard in the special effects to the detrement of the storyline. Also, Shanghai Knights, although funny, didnt' really tickle my funny bone like Shanghai Noon did.
Sequels: I really liked Aliens. Still looks good after all of these years, especially in the widescreen director's cut. Agree that T1 was a better story.
