Evil Dead II > The Evil Dead IIRC (also better than Evil Dead III)


[/ QUOTE ]

I strongly disagree. Evil Dead>Evil Dead III>Evil Dead II.

I just watched II last night (again) and am positive my ranking is the correct one.

It's slightly possible I have the movies mixed up, it's been a while, but I think we might just have different taste.

As I recall, the first one was a pretty ordinary horror movie. The second one was campy, but tounge in cheek and clever (IMHO). The third one was kind of a screwball comedy.

Anyone else?

this is one of those things that i don't even think is debatable. the dialogue in clerks is ridiculously funny. in mallrats it's... it's dumb. the whole movie is dumbed-down and has none of the wit or nuance (or even insight) of clerks.

Dude, eh puts POOP ON HIS HAND.

You're probably right, Clerks is pretty good, Mallrats was def. better when I was 13 though.

These threads are very biased by age. Mallrats was not good when I was 30.

I was probably 15 when I first saw Clerks, and not much older when I saw Mallrats. I've always liked Clerks better. It aged better, too.

Missing in Action II was better than I

Some of the Dirty Harry follow ups top the original - Sudden Impact for a couple of great scenes.

No way is Mad Max II better than the original , in the same vein that the original Rocky and Terminator movies are better than the follow-ups. In all these examples the orignals were grittier movies and the sequels could never stand on their own. Godfather II is an exception - it easily stands alone as a great movie.
