Hey everyone, I was just wondering other than Batman and Batman Returns, which movies do you think are the best one-two punch, in terms of an original movie and its direct sequel. It could be comic book or otherwise: Here is some of mine in no particular order:
The Godfather and The Godfather Part2
LOTR: FOTR and LOTR : TT
Spiderman 1 and 2
Superman 1 and 2
Home Alone 1 and 2
Pirates 1 and 2
Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger
Batman Begins and TDK
Raiders and Temple of Doom (although technically Temple of Doom was a prequel)
Toy Story 1 & 2
Terminator 1 & 2
No mention of Alien and Aliens? ::)
Back to the Future parts 1 and 2
Terminator 1 and 2
American Pie 1 and 2
Many more that I can't think of.

Agreed.
Also,
Hellraiser and
Hellbound: Hellraiser II.
Robocop and Robocop 2. I quite like Robocop 2... I think that tone-wise Robo 2 is true to the satirical spirit of Verhoeven's classic, and it's even more bleak and hilarious at the same time. After that the films/series were turned into PG comic books.
Jurassic Park... One. Great first film, a dull and stupid sequel, a pointless third film that felt like a TV episode.
Robocop 2 could have been alot better, The child villian ruined it for me though. Still way better then the 3rd movie.
Either:
Dr No/From Russia With Love
or
Goldfinger/Thunderball
