    Short Round is the main reason Im voting for Temple of Doom.
    Aliens is the best sequel, ever.

    It is a really good sequel. I would place Godfather part II as one of the best sequels as well but wrong decade for now.

    You make a good point. The Godfather II was an excellent sequel.
    I just remember being very surprised that I liked Aliens better than Alien.

    I didn't realize until this weekend that ToD is a prequel. But its still only the 3rd best Indy movie, so didn't get my vote.

    And just to continue this tangent a bit more, The Dark Knight is a far superior film to Batman Begins. Again, wrong decade, sorry mae. Maybe a small Greatest Sequels Tournament could be in our future.....

    Wow, Short Circuit is getting slaughtered. I liked it well enough, although I thought the sequel was better. But I didn't think it would get completely shut out.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    I loved it. My top 5... I could care if you all liked it or not really to be honest. When I was young it was the first movie I seen at a theater. I was blown away and thought it was so funny. I felt like I was on that journey. The whole thing... I loved the cast, the monkey brains (Man I could not believe that dinner!!) The secret passageway.. like EVERYTHING about it.. I loved. Short Round? Man... he was a huge fav of mine. Aliens was good for sure and I am not saying it was.. BUT Temple of Doom was one of my most loved childhood movies. I even begged to get the Nintendo game for Xmas and played it for days on end.. trying to save the kids. haha...
