How many films can you name that actually had a better sequel than the original?

Empire Strikes Back was an excellent sequel

Shrek 2

Star Trek, The Motion Picture was awful but The Wrath of Khan made up for it in so many ways.

Young guns 2

Manon of the Spring was a sequel to Jean de Florette and you had to watch to the very last minute to get the meaning behind both movies...French movies with a classic tale.
