I don't remember a thread for this... I was watching The Last Starfighter (twice) today and could not help thinking about it.

Best:

1. Aliens - Perfection in my book, took one of the best horror movies ever and turned it into the best action/sci-fi movie, and sequel, of all-time.
2. The Empire Strikes Back - Obviously.
3. Terminator 2: Judgment Day - The first was James Cameron's break-through, here he took it up a few notches.
4. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - Best in the series.
5. Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn - As Barry put it, "Because it's so funny, and violent, and the soundtrack kicks fucking ass."

Worst (i.e. should never have been made):

1. Alien 3/Alien: Resurrection - Horrible stories, effects, and just the opposite of every reason Aliens was the best.
2. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines - Sadly, but I'm making this prediction now.
3. Speed 2: Cruise Control - Plain boring. Great camera work too, Jan, almost got me sick.
4. Batman & Robin: What was Joel Schumacher thinking?
5. Beverly Hills Cop 3 - I don't think I laughed once.

Missing:

The Last Starfighter - Am I the only person that loves this movie? They left it open for a sequel, why didn't it ever happen? It would kick ass with today's visual effects. Wasn't this also like the first movie to ever use CGI? I'd love to see this.
