Technically, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly cant be considered to be a sequel. Simply because A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More are entirely different stories. Leone refers to em as his western trilogy, but apart from them being westerns and Eastwood in all of em as The Man with No Name, there's nothing linking all 3 stories even remotely.
(remember Lee Van Cleef played a good guy in For A Few Dollars More, but was the Bad guy in The Good, The Bad and the Ugly)
I d say the best horror sequel I ve seen would be a toss-up between Halloween II and Aliens. Although, being a Halloween fan, I d lean towards Halloween II.
Overall, my all time fav sequel is The Empire Strikes Back. That is one movie which was actually miles ahead than the original.
Matrix Reloaded was awesome to watch too.
Terminator 2: Judgement Day is another great movie.
Nice thread Des. I m sure I ll think of more later on...
