David : I thought the list was actually pretty good, though I agree that the order is ridiculous. Here is how I would rank those films:
1. The Godfather Part II (1974)
2. Toy Story 2 (1999)
3. The Dark Knight (2008)
4. Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
5. Terminator 2 (1991)
6. The Bourne Supremacy (2004)
7. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
8. Aliens (1986)
Two that I’d add to the list (to replace Meet the Fockers and Shrek 2 ) are I ndiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Evil Dead 2 .
What other sequels should make the cut?
While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.
Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?
Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.
How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
