10.Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil
Maleficent and her goddaughter Aurora begin to question the complex family ties that blind them as they are pulled in different directions by impending nuptials, unexpected allies, and dark new forces at play.

Thomas and Bea are now married and living with Peter and his rabbit family.

7.Terminator 2: Judgment Day

Personally the visual is certainly out of this world in an old school type of film, the soundtrack is brilliant and overall the pacing is just perfect and it does hold your interested, James Cameron is a brilliant director and overall this is entertaining from start to finish.
6.The Dark Knight
When the menace known as the Joker wreaks havoc and chaos on the people of Gotham, Batman must accept one of the greatest psychological and physical tests of his ability to fight injustice. Remarkable and totally memorable and this one is more character driven and that is the key to this film, Heath Ledger is absolutely amazing as the villain in this thrill ride type of film which is generally exciting.

2.Paddington 2
Paddington, now happily settled with the Brown family and a popular member of the local community, picks up a series of odd jobs to buy the perfect present for his Aunt Lucy’s 100th birthday, only for the gift to be stolen. Needless to say this is a cult classics and this is funny, heartfelt and it just a really nice film, Ben Whishaw is excellent as the voice of Paddington and this just a wonderful film which is pure escapism.
1.Toy Story 3
The toys are mistakenly delivered to a day – care centre instead of the attic right before Andy leaves for college, and it’s up to Woody to convince the other toys that they weren’t abandoned and to return home. Lovable and relatable as this film is definitely suitable for all ages and a family viewing type of film, the vocal talent is amazing and brim with comic one liner and overall this is enjoyable, pure escapism and with a simple story and that is the key to this film.
MDC Reviews 
I would have included the Bourne series, Terminator 2, and Toy Story 3 as well Mark. I’m not sure that I would have counted Death on the Nile as a sequel as I thought all the Agatha Christie stories were stand alone although it did feature Poirot.
Some other I would include are:
Aliens – ramped up the tension from Alien moving from one to many alien creatures.
28 Weeks Later – great follow up to 28 Days Later; switches the focus from London to a small community
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade – gives us the great Harrison Ford and Sean Connery double act.
Godfather II – one of the rare sequels to improve on the original
Blade Runner 2049 – we waited 35 years for the sequel but it was well worth it
War for the Planet of the Apes – great trilogy which much improved on the original series.
The Good The Bad and the Ugly – the climax of the Spaghetti westerns featuring the Clint Eastwood as the man with no name.
