Top 10 List: Threequels

Peter Jackson stated that they had saved the best for last and he wasn't kidding. The acting is overall the strongest of the series, the effects are timeless and the universe depiction has honestly never been more compelling. In my opinion this is competing for the title of best movie ever and that more than earns this movie the top spot on this list.

I never expected a Marvel movie to be this good. The writing was spotless, the stakes were somehow both galactic and really personal. The comedy was gold, the action superb, this might be the best superhero movie ever made.

Spielberg's most personal Indy movie and in my opinion also by far the most entertaining of the series. The chemistry between Ford and Connery is electric and especially the latter shines in one of the best performances of his career. Humorous, entertaining and heartfelt what more could you ask for from any adventure?

What can I say? Marvel really nails their third movies. Some people prefer the more politically charged Winter Soldier, but I will forever adore this movie for its complex character interactions and for the fact that it reintroduced my favorite all-time superhero, Spider-Man in a positive way.

More than 40 years past its initial release and this is still the benchmark for all Bond movies. Connery's presence and charisma is unmatched in this movie and Goldfinger's plot is one of the more believable Bond-villain plots. It also features one of the best Bond themes to date and overall this movie influenced the feel of every Bond since then until they decided to reboot.

Although generally considered the weakest of the original trilogy this film is still filled to the brim with memorable scenes and people need to lay off it. The first 45 minuttes in Jabba's palace are incredibly entertaining and the final showdown on the second Deathstar is a satisfying climax to the series.

Leave it to Pixar to prove that threequels can work for animated movies too. Despite initial scepticism I eventually got on board on the idea for a third movie in the series and while the nostalgic part of me screams I have to admit that this was the best of the series. Hands down.

In terms of just embracing the all out goofiness of the superhero genre, no movie has done it better than Thor: Ragnarök. This is just an intensely funny and entertaining spectacle. While I do prefer the more complex interactions in other marvel movies like Civil War, for what it is, Thor Ragnarök is a perfect superhero movie.

Still the best of the series and one hell of a ride. Cuaron proved to be the only director to truly get the quirky universe, he pushes the young actors to their limits and manage to squeeze the best performances of the series out of them. Kudos as well to the casting of Gary Oldman as Sirius Black.

Next to The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy is one of the most immensely satisfying pieces of modern cinema. Tom Hardy's Bane is next to Ledger's Joker one of the most terrifying and evil villains of all time and Christian Bale delivers what is probably his best performance as the Dark Knight himself. Overall I would have to say that this is indeed one of the finest action movies of all time.
