  1. I’m like the one person I know who liked Terminator Dark Fate a lot. I though it was a nice send off for Arnold and Linda Hamilton.

    Thought they’d forgotten about Highlander 2 until I got to the very top of the list.

  3. Hannibal (2001) should be on this list. Lacks everything that made the Silence Of The Lambs a perfect and fascinating thriller and turned it into over-the-top gore. Clarice Starling’s character is completely destroyed and Julianne Moore is miles away from Jodie Foster’s charisma. They even achieved to make Lecter look and sound cartoonish.

    Also why the hell is Mockingjay Part One on here?

  5. I’m old enough to remember when all sequels were considered trashy cash grabs. Sequels were seen as the province of schlock like Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street, Film magazines were filled to the brim with articles pontificating on how Godfather Part 2, Aliens, and (eventually) Toy Story 2 were the only decent sequels ever made (the Dollars trilogy didn’t really count- don’t know why, possibly because they are remakes). Gen X and older prized originality over brands to the degree that it was very, very rare for a sequel to match (much less exceed) the boxoffice of the OG film. I kinda wish we could get back there.

    No, noooo, nope, no. List is wrong.

    Number one is not Star Wars.

    Number one is American Psycho 2.

    I honestly feel like I got what I wanted from Terminator Salvation, if I’m being honest.
