Marshall was a great movie. He was really good.

And in Draft Day too tho a smaller role.

Name a movie where the sequel was better than the original. Don’t count super hero movies, single author serials like Harry Potter, James Bond, or Lord of the Rings. I’ll start.
Christmas Vacation was better than the original.

godfather ii, but the third one was so bad it damn near ruined the first

 

[Eight]

No way.

Godfather II, Superman II (trivia: who do those two films have in common?)

they both used roman numerals in their title

 

[Boomhauer]

Empire Strikes Back

Empire Strikes Back

is that a sequel? a prequel? or does anyone really remember what the actual order of those movies is chronologically and in george lucas' mind

The original run of Empire back in '80 was the first time we got an indication of any kind of order or sequence. The crawl began EPISODE V...

 

[Frog-in-law1995]

The Road Warrior

 

[JugbandFrog]

Empire Strikes Back

Best one of any Star Wars movie next to Rogue One (the music was way too campy in Rogue or it’d be the best of all the Star Wars movie).

 

[Pharm Frog]

Just saw the new Bill and Ted movie. Meh.

When you have to rely on "Death" to make your movie marginally tolerable, it's a very bad flick. The first 30-45 minutes of this movie is as bad as anything I can recall watching in movie theater.

Rocky III

By the time Disney is done, ETB will fall somewhere in the 40s sequentially.

Batman Begins is an amazing movie.
The Dark Knight is a scheissing masterpiece.

The first Star Wars begins with "Episode IV".

Don’t start with that or I’ll subtract your Trophy (Wife) Points...

Unsung but excellent movies:

Fury

Collateral

Nebraska

Garden State

Snatch

The Squid and the Whale

 

[BrewingFrog]

The first Star Wars begins with "Episode IV".

Originally, it didn't.

 

[Frog-in-law1995]

Originally, it didn't.

Yeah, the episode 4 bit was first added for one of the theatrical re-releases after Empire was already out.
