+ "page_snippet": "From Star Wars and Star Trek to the Terminator franchise and Fast & The Furious, here are sequels that topped the originals, based on IMDb voting.From Star Wars and Star Trek to the Terminator franchise and Fast & The Furious, here are sequels that topped the originals, based on IMDb voting. One rule that seems to stick in Hollywood is the law of diminishing returns. This states that sequels to even the best movies are often lesser, both in critical reception and in financial returns. The movie is a cult classic, even with a lower 6.9 IMDb rating, and spawned two sequels, one with a better score at IMDb and the other lower. However, what is shocking is that 36 years later a fourth Mad Max movie came out, and it was the highest-rated of the entire franchise. This was Mad Max: Fury Road, which has a very impressive 8.1 rating for fans. Streaming now on Pluto TV. Much like the Mission: Impossible franchise, the car racing series that started with The Fast & The Furious has lasted a very long time, with the first movie coming out in 2001 and the series still racing along today. In the sequel, Star Wars: The Wrath of Khan did everything the first movie didn't do. A TV villain returned in Khan, there were massive fights and space battles, and a major fan favorite even died in the fight. This revitalized the franchise and it never looked back. IMDb fans rewarded it with a 7.7 score. Streaming now on Netflix. The first Terminator movie was a straight horror movie with a sci-fi edge, as an unstoppable killing machine from the future arrived in the '80s to murder a woman pregnant with the future resistance leader. With Terminator 2: Judgment Day, James Cameron delivered what the first movie promised. He showed the future and the war with robots and then he brought back the original killer to protect the woman's now-born child, while also introducing an even more unbeatable villain.",

Do it right, and you’re best picture winner “The Godfather Part II.” Do it wrong and well, hello “Space Jam: Legacy.” But as sequels and remakes have come to dominate movie theaters, it’s clear that making a successful sequel means more than just slapping a “2” on a beloved property — it takes a good script, hopefully many of the original actors and just maybe, a few new twists on the material.\n\n\n\n\n\tIt’s no coincidence that much of this list comes from the past 30 years – previous to that, sequels weren’t as ubiquitous on movie screens.

\n\tAt this point, everyone knows Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker\u2019s father, but in 1980 that moment was one of the most jaw-dropping plot twists ever. \u201cEmpire Strikes Back\u201d gets way darker than the mostly lighthearted \u201cA New Hope,\u201d not to mention the fact that our beloved heroes lose at the end. Iconic moments like Luke escaping the wampa, his Jedi training with Yoda and Han Solo getting frozen in carbonite will live on in the \u201cStar Wars\u201d mythos forever. This middle chapter of the original \u201cStar Wars\u201d trilogy built tension leading up to the finale and proved at the time that it\u2019s possible to go bigger and better in a sequel.
\n\tWitness me! The rip-roaring \u201cFury Road\u201d puts the \u201ccar\u201d in \u201ccarnage\u201d and is widely considered one of the best action movies of all time. Director George Miller\u2019s fourth entry in the \u201cMad Max\u201d world raced into theaters three decades after \u201cBeyond Thunderdome,\u201d with a captivating new cast led by Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron. Much of the vehicular mayhem, death-defying stunts and fire-spewing guitars were created practically, which helped \u201cFury Road\u201d nab six Academy Awards in 2016, the most of any film that year.
\n\tTaking the dystopian vision of Ridley Scott’s 1980 film to an even darker and more expansive level nearly 40 years after the groundbreaking original, Denis Villeneuve finds even more to explore about the relationship between humans and androids. With bleakly beautiful scenes shot by Roger Deakins, the sequel may be long but offers plenty of food for thought in the story of Officer K, played by Ryan Gosling, a new LAPD blade runner who goes on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a blade runner who went missing decades ago.
\n\tFrancis Ford Coppola outdoes his original gangster epic, dramatically expanding its scope into a more shadowed, complex economy of tycoons. The structural gambit of dual timelines, cutting between Michael\u2019s (Al Pacino) efforts to reconfigure his criminal empire to more legitimate business investments and his father\u2019s (Robert De Niro) immigration to America and ties to his community, deepens the sense of tragedy. As one man works to protect his family, his son obliterates his own.
\n\tThe highwater mark of superhero films. Everything about this sequel was done with utmost attention to detail. Take the intro: instead of fixating on yet another origin story from the caped crusader, director Tim Burton turns his lens onto the film\u2019s villain. The camera sweeps across the elaborate Cobblepot Mansion (created with painstaking detail as a miniature set); screams are heard as a baby is born: enter the Penguin. The Gotham that Burton created allowed for the introduction of the wackiest of comic book characters but with the weight of real consequences and horror. We\u2019d seen colorful renderings of our favorite heroes and villains before in the Adam West-verse, but Michael Keaton\u2019s Batman paired with Burton\u2019s world building legitimized the whole operation. The cushion provided in the previous 1989 \u201cBatman\u201d filmed allowed audiences to really bask in the insanity of this production. In the \u201cBatman Returns\u201d Gotham, a bomb could be a red and white twirling toy, but also actually almost kill the Batman. A woman with cat ears in a perfectly stitched pleather suit can lick our heroes\u2019 face and make it both weird and wildly sexy at the same time. This sequel houses career-making performances from Danny DeVito, Christopher Walken and (without a shred of a doubt) Michelle Pfeiffer. She put a BIRD IN HER MOUTH and pretended to eat it LIKE A CAT, Anne Hathaway could never. Not only is this a great sequel, one might even say it’s the greatest Batman movie ever made.
\n\tA great sequel is only as good as its villain. So how do you top a indestructible killing machine built like Arnold Schwarzenegger? Give it an upgrade! Robert Patrick took playing a soulless silver goo monster to new heights as James Cameron\u2019s big bad in \u201cTerminator 2: Judgement Day.\u201d Patrick\u2019s dead-faced performance (\u201cHave you seen this boy”), coupled with Cameron\u2019s drive to push FX technology way beyond the scope of what our tiny 1991 brains thought was possible gave audiences cinematic moments that have been parodied, copied but (to this day) never topped. Only a film this perfect could make a character made entirely out of the laughably named \u201cmimetic polyalloy\u201d substance as frightening as the \u201cJaws\u201d shark.
\n\n\n\n
\n\tThis movie also started the rise of the Linda Hamilton hive. John Connor might be the legacy the Terminator franchise must protect at all costs, but without Sarah Connor there is no John. Re-introduced doing pull-ups in an insane asylum, this was the character pivot audiences were craving. Hamilton’s portrayal of the no-nonsense prepper is perfection. Many after her would try to recreate this genius glare; all would fail.
\n\tThe short-lived \u201cJump Street\u201d movies are some of the most quotable and memeable comedies in recent history, with the sequel graduating to the big leagues and sending Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum\u2019s undercover cops to college. Some of the hilarious highlights include some awkward slam poetry, a drug trip gone wrong and a meltdown from Ice Cube\u2019s police captain when he realizes his daughter is sleeping with Hill\u2019s character Schmidt. Sadly, more planned sequels and spinoffs didn\u2019t come to fruition, but \u201c22 Jump Street\u201d helped directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller become sure-fire hitmakers.
\n\tMike (Channing Tatum) and his buddies hit the road for a final performance at a stripping convention, an easygoing joyride that reaffirms their drive for artistic fulfillment. The follow-up to Steven Soderbergh\u2019s drama still resides in the wayside of American capitalism\u2019s rubble, but it trades the moralizing despair for an egalitarian spirit and emerges as a far more progressive film. The final 15 minutes \u2013 a series of dance sequences in which Mike and the boys manifest their creative fantasies while making a crowd of women scream their heads off \u2013 are an unimpeachable triumph. It\u2019s hard for a movie to earn going out on \u201cAll I Do Is Win\u201d — this one does.
\n\tIs the coolest heist crew ever assembled still the coolest heist crew ever assembled after they are pushed around by a petty mobster, arrested by Italian police and embarrassed by the French? Well, yes. Steven Soderbergh\u2019s follow-up was derided upon release for losing the clockwork precision of its predecessor, but the more lackadaisical hangout vibe offers its own bounty of pleasures, including an unpredictable sense of humor and swoony formal flourishes to match the backdrop of Euro luxury. The film imagines a world solely occupied by hyper skilled aristocrats and their wounded egos, and it knows just how funny that world is.

\n\t Although it contains no direct links to the characters, story, or setting of \u201cNight of the Living Dead,\u201d George A. Romero\u2019s \u201cDawn of the Dead\u201d utilizes the same unique rules of zombification that he established in his original masterpiece back in 1968, and is often cited as a sequel because of that. The blood-soaked tale of four survivors who find shelter in a shopping mall while hungry corpses roam the earth, the film\u2019s satirical social commentary and shocking gore effects (courtesy of legendary makeup wizard Tom Savini) made this second entry in Romero\u2019s Living Dead series a bona fide cult classic.

\n\tThe feature-length prologue to Mark Frost and David Lynch\u2019s cult series \u201cTwin Peaks,\u201d \u201cFire Walk With Me\u201d was hounded by a difficult production, disagreements between Lynch and Frost, an icy critical reception and bombing at the box office. Yet time has been kind to this 1992 feature, a dark and emotional spin on the series which fits in with Lynch\u2019s bizarre and emotional worldview. Sheryl Lee is a revelation as Laura Palmer, playing her last days as a fleshed-out character, instead of a memory that floats over the series after her death. \u201cFire Walk With Me\u201d also grows in impact when paired with \u201cTwin Peaks: The Return,\u201d which makes this chapter all the richer.

\n\tThe Russo Brothers-directed follow up to 2011\u2019s \u201cCaptain America: The First Avenger\u201d sees Chris Evans\u2019 Steve Rogers go head-to-head against his former best friend, Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), whom he previously thought was dead. The film finds its heart in Captain America’s internal conflict over fighting Bucky who, in a brainwashed state of ferocity, is now a tool controlled by terrorist organization Hydra. Factor in the scene in which Rogers singlehandedly disarms an elevator full of muscled Hydra agents, then add the moments in which his cryogenically frozen friendship with Barnes begins to thaw, and \u201cCaptain America: Winter Soldier\u201d is a Marvel sequel tailor-made for audience members whose taste for action and adventure need always be tempered by the reminder that genuine relational bonds triumph over all adversity.
\n\tAfter more than 15 years, Hugh Jackman hung up the adamantium claws in this R-rated Wolverine movie (at least, until he revealed he\u2019ll return in \u201cDeadpool 3\u201d in 2024). In a dystopian future, Jackman and Patrick Stewart star as Wolverine and Professor X as we\u2019ve never seen them before \u2013 wrinkled, world-weary and withering near the end of their X-lives. For critics and comic-book fans alike, \u201cLogan\u201d marked the high point of the up-and-down \u201cX-Men\u201d franchise and its spinoffs, and it became the first superhero movie to be Oscar-nominated for adapted screenplay.

Josh Brolin\u2019s purple supervillain Thanos wasn\u2019t messing around in \u201cInfinity War,\u201d wiping out half of all life in the universe with just one snap of his fingers. With an A-list cast list longer than an encyclopedia, \u201cInfinity War\u201d went bigger than the two previous \u201cAvengers\u201d movies and created an unbearable wait for the follow-up, \u201cAvengers: Endgame.\u201d Like \u201cThe Empire Strikes Back,\u201d \u201cInfinity War\u201d finished on the downer-of-all-downer endings, with half of the World\u2019s Mightiest Heroes turning to dust \u2013 a moment that will live in the memory of all MCU fans.

\n\tThough it took 14 years for the sequel to come to fruition, \u201cIncredibles 2\u201d was worth the wait. Picking up right after the Parr family defeated Syndrome, the Brad Bird-directed film follows the gifted clan as they embark on a new mission to restore the public\u2019s trust in superheroes. Grossing $1 billion worldwide, the film was a hit at the box office and with critics alike. Though Variety\u2019s Owen Gleiberman wrote in his review that it didn\u2019t quite live up to the first installment, it\u2019s still \u201cperfectly snappy and chucklesome and heartfelt entertainment.\u201d
\n\tPotentially the best sequel to ever sequel, \u201cTop Gun: Maverick\u201d took the world by storm when it was released in April 2022. Nearly 40 years after the original film, \u201cMaverick\u201d saw the return of Tom Cruise as Captain Pete \u201cMaverick\u201d Mitchell, who is now a test pilot instructing a group of Top Gun graduates for a risky mission. Miles Teller, Glen Powell, Jay Ellis and more joined the cast as the young trainees, and Val Kilmer even reprised his role as Iceman via voice synthesis technology. \u201cMaverick\u201d grossed nearly $1.5 billion at the worldwide box office, making the film the highest-grossing of Cruise\u2019s career and of the entire year in North America. Now, \u201cTop Gun: Maverick\u201d is nominated for best picture at the 2023 Oscars, in addition to adapted screenplay, film editing, original song, visual effects and sound.
\n\tGeorge Miller\u2019s 1998 follow-up to animated classic \u201cBabe\u201d asks the important question: What if we took a pig and put it in a city? No but really, Babe\u2019s adventures with three chimpanzees and an orangutan who all find themselves lost in a hotel is a hoot and a half. Though many critics at the time of \u201cPig in the City\u2019s\u201d release dismissed it as losing the innocence of the original, the film now has a cult following for its darker tone depicting a dog-eat-dog (more like pig-eat-pig) world.

\n\tBenoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is back to solve another whodunit in \u201cGlass Onion,\u201d the follow-up to 2019\u2019s Netflix hit \u201cKnives Out.\u201d With an all-star cast including Edward Norton, Janelle Mon\u00e1e, Kathryn Hahn, Kate Hudson, Dave Bautista and more, \u201cGlass Onion\u201d follows the mystery that arises when tech billionaire Miles Bron (Norton) invites a select group of his friends to vacation on his private island. In fact, Variety\u2019s Owen Gleiberman liked it even more than the first film, praising \u201cGlass Onion\u201d as “a bigger, showier, even more elaborately multi-faceted shell-game mystery.\u201d

\n\tBack when Marvel movies weren\u2019t completely chaste and bloodless, Wesley Snipes was effortlessly cool as the vampire hunter Blade, who had vampiric powers himself. Years before \u201csuperhero movies\u201d became their own genre, Blade was rated-R action, with blood flowing and fists flying in equal measure. The sequel, \u201cBlade II,\u201d was helmed by Guillermo del Toro, whose love of comics and creatures added great visuals and squishy squibs of blood and guts all over the place. Although there are a few rough CGI moments, the bone-crunching fight choreography and stunning creature effects make \u201cBlade II\u201d an excellent ride that deepens the lore, thanks to a true auteur at the helm.
\n\tAfter the microbudget success of \u201cEvil Dead,\u201d writer/director Sam Raimi and star Bruce Campbell were given 10 times as much money to make a sequel, but it had to follow similar beats to the first film. What to do? Remake it with more gore, \u201cThree Stooges\u201d-inspired laughs and manaical setpieces, and hope to strike gold. This enhanced 1987 vision elevated the material into a franchise that spawned comic books, films, a TV series and a new chapter \u2014 \u201cEvil Dead Rise\u201d \u2014 slated to hit theaters in 2023. It was all built out of some sadistic and goofy demons in a cabin.
\n\tThe first \u201cMatrix\u201d is over and Neo (Keanu Reeves) saved the day. He is the One. He can even fly! He\u2019ll be the man to liberate the burgeoning human race from their machine oppressors, as foretold by the prophecy. But who made up that prophecy? Does Neo have to save the day? Why can\u2019t he just be in love with his girlfriend Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss)? The Wachowski sisters\u2019 ambitious sequel deconstructs the hero\u2019s journey narrative of its predecessor, removing shades of power fantasy to clarify just what these people are fighting for: each other. The cyperpunk romance moves in a beguiling back-and-forth, between philosophical soliloquies and jaw-dropping, whizzbang combat. An extensive freeway chase sequence, featuring katanas slicing cars in half, motorcycles driving on the wrong side of the road and a bizarre pair of dreadlocked twins, is about as fun as studio action filmmaking can get.
\n\tThe first \u201cPaddington\u201d film was gentle family fare, but the 2017 sequel felt engineered to equally fill hearts and break them. The titular bear just wants to buy a nice book about London for his aunt\u2019s 100th birthday, but gets wrapped up in a complex scheme orchestrated by the diabolical Phoenix Buchanan (an endlessly charming Hugh Grant). While Paddington is consistently adorable, he deals with some shockingly dark thoughts: What if he\u2019s abandoned by his family in jail? What if he\u2026dies? Would he sacrifice himself for the ones he loves? But don\u2019t worry: There\u2019s a happy ending that reaffirms the power of community so purely that anyone with two eyes and a heart will be bawling.

\n\tA meta spin on \u201cThe Nightmare on Elm Street” series, this 1994 film posits that Freddy Krueger is a real demon who is only kept under wraps through the production of the films. Because of that, the real-life team who made the original 1984 movie (including leads Heather Langenkamp and John Saxon, Freddy actor Robert Englund, and even director Wes Craven) star as heightened versions of themselves as the \u201creal-life\u201d Freddy comes through to their world. A bold vision of horror, it was a test-run on many of the concepts that popped up in Craven\u2019s late-period masterwork, \u201cScream.\u201d

\n\tThough Disney has announced plans for a fifth \u201cToy Story\u201d film, we\u2019d like to remember simpler times when the franchise was only a trilogy. Directed by Lee Unkrich, 2010\u2019s \u201cToy Story 3\u201d jumps ahead to when Andy is getting ready to leave for college and accidentally throws his toys away. Naturally, chaos ensues and Woody must chase down the other toys and help restore their trust in Andy. The animated fun of the first two films is still present, but what sticks out the most about \u201cToy Story 3\u201d is its poignant ruminations on loss and growing up. Come for the childhood nostalgia, but don\u2019t be surprised if you shed a tear.
\n\tSet nine years after Jesse and Celine\u2019s fateful night talking their way across Vienna, the sequel finds the couple meeting up in Paris at a reading for the book Jesse has written about their encounter. Director Richard Linklater and stars Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy collaborated on the memorable screenplay, which looks at love, life and the passage of time as Jesse and Celine wander the picturesque streets of Paris.

\n\tDirector Taika Waititi reinvented Chris Hemsworth\u2019s Norse hero after Thor\u2019s first two movies were more Midgard-sized movies than Asgardian astonishments. In “Ragnarok,” Thor has a zanier sense of humor, a new haircut and has to stop both the end of the world and Cate Blanchett\u2019s fearsome villain Hela without his powerful hammer Mjolnir. The supporting cast, like Mark Ruffalo\u2019s Hulk, Tessa Thompson\u2019s Valkyrie and Jeff Goldblum\u2019s Grandmaster, nearly stole the show. \u201cRagnarok\u201d ended up being such a hit that Waititi returned to direct the follow-up, \u201cThor: Love and Thunder,\u201d in 2022.

\n\t\u201cAlien\u201d might be a perfect science fiction film, and luckily James Cameron didn\u2019t try to photocopy the script for his big-budget sequel. Instead, he ratcheted up the action and adventure, going big while the first film stayed contained. Stan Winston\u2019s alien and special effects designs are one-of-a-kind, the cast is sprawling and filled with great actors (including memorable turns from Michael Biehn, Paul Reiser and Bill Paxton), and features an even better turn from Sigourney Weaver as Ripley, which earned her an Oscar nomination. By the time Ripley jumps into her bitchin’ power loader exoskeleton, the film earns its place in sequel history.
\n\tRob Zombie\u2019s directorial debut \u201cHouse of 1,000 Corpses\u201d may have its fans, but nothing will ever top his gleefully transgressive sequel, \u201cThe Devil\u2019s Rejects,\u201d in terms of sheer savagery. The story of a family of depraved psychopaths cutting a bloody swath across Texas, the film perfectly encapsulates all of Zombie\u2019s genre obsessions. Overflowing with degradation, torture, mutilation and murder, \u201cThe Devil\u2019s Rejects\u201d is, nevertheless, quite funny at times. That mix of brutality and humor is tricky to pull off when the material is as extreme as this, but Zombie threads the needle\u2026 after stabbing it through a few eyeballs, of course.
\n\tIt wasn\u2019t the lean and gripping 1982 thriller \u201cFirst Blood\u201d that made fictional Vietnam veteran John Rambo a potent symbol of American militarism on steroids. It was the over-the-top 1985 sequel \u2013 \u201cRambo: First Blood Part II\u201d \u2013 that cemented the character as the living embodiment of war. Dropping Stallone\u2019s one-man army back in the Vietnamese jungle that shaped him into an unstoppable soldier, the film\u2019s muscular action sequences and head-scratching political subtext struck a primal chord in audiences around the world, to the point where President Ronald Reagan himself quipped publicly about the sequel numerous times throughout the summer of \u201985.
\n\tLoaded with reverential solemnity but short on fun, \u201cStar Trek: The Motion Picture\u201d kicked off the Trek film franchise on a dour note, and it wasn\u2019t until Nicholas Meyer\u2019s sprightly sequel that fans of the Gene Roddenberry TV show got the movie they wanted. Pitting the crew of the Enterprise against a genetically-engineered nemesis from their past, \u201cStar Trek II: The Wrath of Khan\u201d had everything the first film lacked, including humor, pacing and a charismatic villain. Widely regarded as the best entry in the series, Meyer\u2019s follow-up also pioneered the use of visual easter eggs and clever callbacks that reward eagle-eyed viewers.
\n\tThe third entry in National Lampoon\u2019s Vacation series is a hilarious holiday comedy that finds the goofy Griswold family struggling to keep the joy of Christmas alive while disgusting relatives, obnoxious neighbors, heartless bosses and rampaging squirrels make their home a living hell. Although it wasn\u2019t as successful at the box office as the original film during its initial release, \u201cNational Lampoon\u2019s Christmas Vacation\u201d has developed a devoted following over the years, with countless fans now revisiting it every December along with festive favorites like \u201cElf,\u201d \u201cHome Alone\u201d and \u201cA Christmas Story.\u201d
\n\tIn Blake Edwards\u2019 cheeky 1963 comedy \u201cThe Pink Panther,\u201d Peter Sellers shared top billing with co-stars David Niven and Robert Wagner, but he wisely took center stage in the brilliantly funny sequel, \u201cA Shot in the Dark,\u201d which was released the following year. From the outrageous slapstick gags to the silly plot twists to Sellers\u2019 exaggerated French accent, everything about the sequel is bigger, brighter and far more entertaining than the original. \u201cA Shot in the Dark\u201d also introduced memorable characters like Commissioner Dreyfus and Cato (played by Herbert Lom and Burt Kwouk) who went on to become Panther mainstays.

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n\tNever doubt James Cameron. It\u2019s a phrase that was written countless times after the release of \u201cAvatar: The Way of Water,\u201d the director\u2019s 13-years-in-the-making sequel to the highest grossing movie of all time (unadjusted for inflation). As social media continued to debate whether or not the first \u201cAvatar\u201d movie had any cultural relevancy, its sequel defied all expectations and grossed $2.4 billion at the worldwide box office to become the third top-grosser in history. But money is not what makes \u201cThe Way of Water\u201d a great sequel. Creating new technology in order to capture motion capture performances under water, Cameron delivered another eye-popping and show-stopping cinema spectacle that is an entirely different visual dazzler than the first \u201cAvatar.\u201d Barely anything on screen is real, and yet it’s effortless to accept Pandora and the space around the characters as if it is. That alone makes \u201cThe Way of Water\u201d impressive. While the sequel got dinged for repeating story beats, it does so on an entirely different and far more intimate scale. \u201cThe Way of Water\u201d is not an epic battle movie. Its plot is simple for a Hollywood tentpole (it effectively boils down to parents just protecting and saving their kids, there\u2019s no universe-ending threat anywhere to be found) that it almost feels radical. \u201cThe Way of Water\u201d cuts back on plot and goes all in on world-building immersion and emotional family dynamics, making it levels above the original \u201cAvatar.\u201d

\n\tPeter Jackson\u2019s 200-minute \u201cThe Return of the King\u201d solidified his take on J. R. R. Tolkien\u2019s \u201cLord of the Rings\u201d trilogy as one of cinema\u2019s finest fantasy adaptations. The film won best picture and 10 other Academy Awards, shoveling in over $1.1 billion at the global box office, outselling the previous two Middle-earth installments. With groundbreaking visual effects, \u201cReturn of the King\u201d showed off Jackson\u2019s technological prowess and brought his trilogy to a thrilling climax with the epic Battle of Cirith Ungol. But what makes the film truly sing are the small, intimate moments between Samwise and Frodo, on a medieval road trip to save the world.
\n\tIt ain\u2019t easy being Spider-Man. The 2004 sequel sees Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) struggling at university, failing to hold down a job and stumbling to make a move on the girl of his dreams (Kirsten Dunst). Also, the scientist that he looks up to (Alfred Molina) has nailed himself to two pairs of sentient cyborg tentacles. There\u2019s no shortage of inventive, show-stopping action, but the film\u2019s true stroke of genius is how elegantly it centers the stakes of each of Parker\u2019s personal relationships. Every scene is a set piece in \u201cSpider-Man 2\u201d and Sam Raimi directs the hell out of all them.
\n\tIf you thought the first \u201dGremlins\u201d got too crazy, then watch out for \u201cGremlins 2: The New Batch.\u201d This movie has a smart Gremlin that belts out Frank Sinatra classics. There\u2019s a Gremlin with wings that gets covered in concrete and turns into a gargoyle. There\u2019s an electric Gremlin that kills everything it touches. There\u2019s a lady Gremlin that just wants to smooch. There\u2019s a spider Gremlin. There\u2019s a really stupid Gremlin. All of these Gremlins wreak havoc in a mega-conglomerate\u2019s New York skyscraper that has a different business on each floor.

\n\t Along with Tod Browning\u2019s \u201cDracula,\u201d James Whale\u2019s horror classic \u201cFrankenstein\u201d helped usher in Universal Studios\u2019 revered monster movies that lasted from 1931 until 1956. Comprised of more than 40 titles, many of them sequels, no entry in the series is more venerated today than Whale\u2019s 1935 follow-up, \u201cThe Bride of Frankenstein.\u201d Culminating in one of the creepiest marriage proposals in cinema history, this timeless film is aided immeasurably by Elsa Lanchester\u2019s dual role as author Mary Shelley and the Monster\u2019s iconic Bride. Award-winning makeup artist Jack Pierce collaborated with Whale on her gothic appearance.
\n\tThe only superhero movie to grace Variety\u2019s 100 Greatest Movies of All Time list, Christopher Nolan\u2019s \u201cThe Dark Knight\u201d grossed over $1 billion at the global box office and revolutionized the comic book film, putting a gritty, more grounded spin on the Caped Crusader and demanding that the genre be taken seriously. The \u201cBatman Begins\u201d sequel portrays Bale\u2019s imperfect hero trying to save a Gotham City on the brink of collapse, but the film\u2019s political backdrop sets the stakes at a human level. And, of course, as the Joker, Heath Ledger delivers a career-defining \u2014 and Oscar-winning \u2014 performance, setting an entirely new standard for big-screen comic villains.
\n\tLongtime fans of Sylvester Stallone\u2019s most iconic character had every reason in the world to believe that the nostalgic and emotionally satisfying 2006 film \u201cRocky Balboa\u201d would be the final appearance of cinema\u2019s favorite underdog. But director Ryan Coogler and actor Michael B. Jordan breathed new life into the beloved boxing saga when they teamed up with the Italian Stallion himself for the electrifying 2015 blockbuster \u201cCreed.\u201d Stallone earned an Oscar nomination for playing an older and wiser version of Rocky who takes Adonis Creed, the talented but troubled son of former champion Apollo Creed, under his wing in this inspiring crowd-pleaser.
