Mallrats for the Cleetus, love that movie!!!

I am proud to say it was filmed in MN! The dirt mall they go to is like 15-20 in from my house (the inside) the out side shot was the only part of the movie filmed in New Jersey.

Have you visited the 3 nipple psychic?

Army of darkness was spawned off of evil dead, and evil dead II if I recall correctly. Evil Dead II had to be hands down the funniest horror film I have ever seen. I swear, when his possessed hand was kicking his a$$, and he had to cut it off; then it ran around the house kicking his a$$---I almost passed out I was laughing so hard. Then when it flicked him off...

But the best all time sequel-spawning flick was Back to the Future. Genius concept, fairly adequate continuity (or at least it looked good for movies) and brilliant chemistry between Michael J. Fox, Crispin Glover, Christopher Lloyd, and Lea Thompson. My hat is off to them and the director, Robert Zemeckis as well. I still watch them all of the time.

The best movies in my opinion have no sequels... A sequel to a good movie is an excuse to generate more revenue.. Look at the jurrasic park sequels for a good example. Jurrassic park2 was Micheal Crichton's first and only sequel he wrote to a novel, and jurassic park 3 had nothing to do with him. His "Stand alone" movies have all done well.

Congo, Rising Sun and the great train robery are among his works.

Other "Good" movies like ShawShank Redemption and Green Mile have no sequels.

the only "trilogy" movies that i've ever seen work are movies that from square one are designed to be multi movie. Starwars (episodes 4-6) and LOTR are good examples.

I don't know man, the voice of William Shatner screaming KAAAAAAAHN made for a pretty damn good sequel.

..and I don't know if it counts but Star Trek First Contact (second Star Trek movie with the new cast but 8th in the series) was pretty good too.

What about the Godfathers????(ok, not so much 3, but the first 2 at least)

**amyb** · May 29th, 2003, 10:45 AM

Terminator 2, that was even better than the first. I hope T3 is good, but it won't be the same without Linda Hamilton..

**Budd** · May 29th, 2003, 11:25 AM

i agree with amyb, T2 is the best sequel to a movie that wasn't supposed to have a sequel, at least the best one i can think of right now. mallrats is a great movie, but i don't know if i'd call that a sequel. the View Askew movies seem to tie in together, not really continue.

so therefore IMHO back to the future is the best series of sequels/prequels of all time

man this is a hard one....I love all these movies

but the two I was conflicting was

Back 2 the future and Evil Dead

well of course I selected Evil Dead but it was very close

No, at that flea market/dirt mall in Mallrats

**Danrak** · May 29th, 2003, 11:31 AM

Out of what is listed in the poll, a tie between Amry of darkness and Mallrats.
