Best movie sequels of all time
IMO, the best two are SW:Empire Strikes Back and Godfather II.
LOTR is not applicable IMO, as it was made as one major work that didn't take the "hey, this made some money, let's make another one!" BTW, I LOVE LOTR, but I just don't see it a candidate.
In other words, a sequel that was made after the first was a success.
Handicap Rule: films/sequels made by James Cameron are forbidden.

A lot of good picks so far, although I don't understand why James Cameron is forbidden, he only make two great sequels (Aliens, T2) in his career. (Forbidding James Bond movies instead would make more sense.)
I would add the French Connection II to the list. (Although not as good as the original, it's a good movie in its own right.)
And Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country is one of the best of that series, although given it's a long-running movie series maybe Star Trek movies should be forbidden as well.
Also, I thought Addams Family Values was a good sequel that was even better than the original.

Definitely a great movie and better than the original.
And, although a lot of people disagree with me, I think Batman Returns is the best of the Batman movies, edging out the original due to having a stronger basic plot. (As for the two Schumacher Batman movies... the less said, the better.)

Most of it anyway.
