Best - Empire
Worst - Revenge of the Sith
Indy
Best - Raiders
Worst - Crystal Skull
Back to the Future
Best - Part 1
Worst - Part 2
Batman/DK
Best - Batman '89
Worst - Batman & Robin
Best- Die Hard
Worst- Probably Die Hard 4.0. Great action movie but too toned down, not enough swearing and violence. Plus Willis was too serious.
Rocky
Best- Rocky. My favourite film. 10/10.
Worst- Rocky V without a doubt. Rocky and Rocky Balboa are the best, Rocky 3 is also good. 2 and 4 aren't brilliant but they're enjoyable. Rocky V though is f***ing awful. The emotional scenes are there but that's about the only resemblance it has to a Rocky film.
Indiana Jones
Best- Raiders. The other 2 original films come close but you can't beat Raiders.
Worst- Crystal Skull. Fun but didn't need to be made.
Rambo
Best- First Blood. Fantastic action movie that's also emotional with great acting and a fairly good story.
Worst- Rambo. They tried to bring back some emotion as 2 and 3 were basically just popcorn flicks but it falls flat on it's face and tries too hard to be "gritty"
Alien
Best- Alien. Brilliant, tense horror flick. Scotts best film. Aliens is a good action film but Alien is a classic.
Worst- Either 3 or Ressurection. I don't care much about either of them.
Elm Street
Best- A Nightmare On Elm Street. Wes Craven has made some great slasher films but this is definetly his masterpiece. The dream idea is really original and Freddy is just brilliant.
Worst- Either the remake or the 2nd one. Dream Child is pretty poor too.
Best- Star Trek II is undeniably powerful and contains very snappy dialogue, but its simple revenge plot is rather small in overall scope and heavily flawed from a science POV, Star Trek VI has a large scale story with interesting social and political commentary, but is slightly hampered by the obvious age of the crew.
I think I have to go with The Undiscovered Country, objectively speaking.
Worst- Star Trek V, the need for editing the goofy bits out combined with the obvious lack of money for decent visuals or the climactic end confrontation make that an easy choice, which is sad, with a proper editorial reworking & some inexpensive CGI it could easily be among the best IMO.
Best - All 6 movies, I dont see anything wrong with the prequels. Sorry fanboys.
Worst - Star Wars Christmas Special
Robocop
Best - Robocop 1 and 2, If you compare the 2nd film to the 3rd movie it really isnt that bad of a follow up, although i agree about the fact Robocop was resetted back to being a cyborg rather keeping his retained human side from the first movie.
Worst - Robocop 3, Not all things should be redone for children and this was a good example of watering down an adult franchise for brats.
Worst - Godfather Part 3 (Not quite on the money)

Best - Alien 3

Back to the Future - always had a thing for part 2, love the way they go back into the first film but first one is best.
Worst - Part 3, still a good film though.
Die Hard - I'm gonna say Die Hard 2, i just love it.
Worst - Die Hard 4, just to tame.
Rambo - hmm not sure, I like them all.
Rocky - The first one is the best film but hey I can't help loving part 4 and Rocky Balboa was great.
Worst - Rocky 5, it's just not very good!
Mission Impossible - The first one remains the best film for me, was impressed with Ghost Protocol though.
Worst - MI2, truley awful film.
Terminator - The first one remains the best for me, just a cracking tight little sci-fi thriller.

Worst : ep I prolly
Police Academy : 1 (I even dig #6 even though it gets flack)
Worst : PA7
Indy Jones : #2 (not a big fan but if I had to choose)
Chris Lee Draculas : PoD , least fav SRoD......SoD is another great one
Rocky : #1 and #3 , worst #5
NOES : #1......I kinda like that #2 is so different ;)
Superman : #2 , worst #4
BTTF : #2 , worst #3 (#3 is still all right in it's own)
Star Trek - Wrath of Khan best, The Final Frontier worst
Superman - II best (either cut, despite the hatred for Richard Lester that tends to cloud the discussions), IV worst.
Batman - The Dark Knight best, Batman and Robin worst.
Indiana Jones - Raiders, Crystal Skull
Harry Potter - tie between Prisoner of Azkaban and Deathly Hallows Part 1 for best, Philosophers / Sorcerers Stone worst
Rocky - first best, fourth worst.
Terminator - first, fourth (Terminator 2 being hugely overrated and pretty much ruined by Edward Furlong)
Mission Impossible - IV, II
Back To The Future - I, III
Bourne - Identity (I go back and forth between that and Supremacy), Legacy
Spider-Man - II, III
Rambo - First Blood, Rambo III
X-Men - X2, X-Men 3
The Godfather - the first, the third (though I think the third is unfairly maligned, and 2 is a little overrated)
Alien - Allen by a really tight margin over Aliens..the deciding factor being that nearly every character in Aliens is unlikeable, worst is Allen Resurrection if we are only counting the first four, AvP 2 if we are counting them all, as that film was incompetently made.
Die Hard - I'll leave the most controversial for last: not only is my favourite the third film, but I actually think none of them really hold up. I watched them all last month and with all of them I start getting bored in the second half when it becomes only action. Second film is my least favourite of the first four.
Raiders - the first and best.
Die Hard - the first and best.
First Blood - the first and best.
Star Wars - the first and best (for all everyone goes on about Empire it gets lost up its own arse too much for me. Star Wars is a nice simple tale with stunning spectacle. My problem with Empire is all the serious action is over after they leave Hoth).
Jaws - the first and best.
Rocky - the first and best (although I do have a soft spot for IV)
Terminator - the first and best (T2 has groundbreaking effects for sure but lacks the real terror of the first and the moment you introduce a kid into proceedings youre always on shaky ground).
The main exception to this 'first is best' theory is probably Bourne which I would rate Supremacy, Identity, Ultimatum, Legacy (although this hardly deserves to be rated with the rest as it is really quite poor).
And of course the Bond franchise where Bond 1 comes probably halfway down the list somewhere.
Bourne Best- Identity. Less shaky cam and a great premise (assassin with amnesia). The story is also better than the sequels, I think it got a bit too complex by the end.
Worst- Legacy. Not bad, not as good as the first 3 though. It was an enjoyable action flick. Would've been improved if they'd just recast Bourne (Damon was hardly Connery as Bond irreplaceable).
Predator Best- Predator. Classic 80s action.
Worst- Predator 2 and Predators were both pretty poor so either of those. Unless we count the AVP films in which case I pick those (same with Alien in my other post).
Fast And Furious Best- Fast 5. What was once Point Break with cars has finally evolved into a great action film series. I like how it's not focused on street racing anymore, I like the heist idea and the cars are still awesome.
Worst- Either the 1st film or the 2nd one.
Police Story Best- The original. Bus stunt, poll slide, etc. Jackie Chan is a f***ing legend and this is definetly his best film. I also really like First Strike though (essentially a Jackie Chan Bond movie).
Worst- Probably New Police Story. It's still a good film though.
Armor Of God Best- I think the 2nd one just edges it.
Worst- Chinese Zodiac. It's still a pretty good film though.
Friday The 13th Best- Either the 1st film or the 3rd. Both brilliant.
Worst- Either Jason X or the reboot. Both crap.
Halloween Best- The first one, definetly.
Worst- The sequel to the reboot.
Scream Best- The original. I also like the 4th one.
Worst- 2 or 3. Don't really like either.
Texas Chainsaw Best- Again, the original.
Worst- I don't like the prequel or the Next Generation one.
The Exorcist Best- The original. The 3rd film is good but the original is a classic.
Worst- Either the prequel or the 2nd film.

Bourne:
Identity 7.5-8.0/10
Ultimatum 6.5/10
Supremacy 6/10
People claim Supremacy look like more on QOS, i disagree and think this count more for Ultimatum. The music and soundmix are better in this movie then in Supremacy and together with that one chacter get more screen time in this movie be 2 reasens why i at ultimatum higher on my list. The camera movements are a bigger problem in Ultimatum. What i think is better then Casino Royale is that Bourne don't kill people where this isn't needed. But in general both last 2 movies feels empty, Ultimatum is only 3 minutes longer before end credits started and i don't understand why there is 3 years between them. It be better if those 2 movies be made in to one. I heard bad things about the 4th movie, stil iam a bit curious and when i bought that movie i will possible first re-watch those 2 atleast.

Worst: Friday The 13th Pt V: A New Beginning
It's Jason. No wait, it's not Jason, it's a copycat killer. Why?

The Blind Dead
Best: The Night Of The Seagulls
I just love the dream like look of this film.
Worst: The Ghost Galleon
The Templars on a boat is a neat setting, on a boat there's only so many places to hide. However, on the boat there's no chance to see the Templars on horseback, not to mention that there isn't a likeable character in the film. The ending is alright though, it saves the film from being all bad and proves that while you might be able to run from the Templars, you'll never escape them.
