Yeah, that movie wasn't too good.

I'm guessing I'm in the minority in liking Temple of Doom?  Otherwise, I completely agree.

There they go again Gaffer, just for you.

I am surprised the place isn't filled with people singing the praises of the Matrix and its sequels, since I have admitted to very strongly disliking them all.

I too enjoyed Temple of Doom. And even the Back to the Future sequels.

The way I look at it:

Raiders of the Lost Ark - standalone film

Temple of Doom, Last Crusade, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - its own separate film trilogy

and:

Back to the Future - standalone film

Back to the Future Parts II & III - its own separate anthology.  Though this would be easier if the ending of I didn't spill over into II.

And I still don't get the hate for Alien 3 - I quite enjoyed it, especially the extended version.  But Resurrection is a steaming pile of shit.

Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade are two stand-alone films, but with the same main character.

Just like The Godfather and The Godfather Part II are two stand-alone films with two entirely different purposes.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom has its moments at the beginning and the ending, but the midsection bogs the whole thing down.

Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi make up the Star Wars films. Nothing else after 1983.

Guess you have not seen the holiday special tv movie that came out in 1978.  That should also be of selective repressed/erased memory.  There was awful star wars long before the prequels.

One of the worst characters in temple of doom has the least screen time. Dan Akroyd's performance/cameo with a bad accent. Before Indy boards Lao Che airlines,lol.

I guess Spielberg did'nt think it was enough to have him in one bad film of his 1941.

If you include Crystal Skull and Howard the Duck, 1941, War of the Worlds, the star wars prequels.  Look at all the turkeys lucas and spielberg has made between them.

And now you have Spielberg producing bad movies like transformers 1 and 2.

Once upon a time he executive produced a good film called back to the future,lol.  I guess those days are behind us now.

Not to mention that was the only good film Bob Z ever made and would be the last good film he would make.

Castaway was decent but annoying in quite a few places.  That snow train movie was awful, and beowulf was an absolute abomination to its source material, and on top of that the film sucked.  Back to the Future II and III were mediocre if not exactly awful.

What about Forrest Gump?

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy has yet to be made into a movie.

 

I may not be getting the joke but look here.

The joke was that the movie wasn't good, and since the name of the thread is "how to make certain movie series perfect," saying it never happened makes the series perfect.

I am proud to say the Temple Of Doom was my favorite.  I just liked Mola Ram. Kaliii Maaa Kali maaaa. The Indians liked it for Armish Puri.

Fellowship of the Ring/The Two Towers/Return of the King

Wait ... what'd you take out?

"Poltergeist" was another very fun Spielberg produced film. In this case, he was smart to remove himself from any part of the sequels that should  never have been made. 

"Mad Max" and "The Road Warrior"  are great, we did not need a 3rd. 

"The Pink Panther" films should have died with Mr. Sellers. All films in that series made after his death are horrid.

 The original "Shaft" is better off as a stand alone film. Same thing goes for:

"Planet of the Apes" (1967)

"Cocoon" (we did not need a Return)

"Smokey and the Bandit"

"Cannonball Run"

"Meatballs"

"Caddyshack"

"Vacation"

"Halloween"

"Billy Jack"

"The Odd Couple"

"The Poseidon Adventure" (Yes there was a part II)

The French Connection

Godzilla (The original Japanese version)

"The Bad News Bears" The original is a golden classic, the rest are cat poop.

"Conan the Barbarian"

 My list was all the movies that should be in each series. 

Yeah, but with that list, what else is there?  At least until The Hobbit comes out in a few years.

there is the shitty cartoons.

Terminator/ T2

While the series is much improved if T3 and T4 never happened, it's not perfect unless T2 also never happened.

Bingowings said:

T2 is possibly the most over-rated film in history.

 

Nope, the most over-rated film in history would most definitely be The Matrix. Hands down. IMHO, of course.

T2 was really just a rehash of the first film. Good guy and bad guy from the future duking it out to save/destroy a certain target. I really enjoy both the first and the second film. I think the second film is ranked as high as it is by so many people is because it managed to be more fun in the way it did it. The first film was very dark, the second film was much more light hearted (though it was still quite grim), I think in this way it simply appealed to a wider audience. I agree the first film works perfectly by itself, but I enjoy the second one too much to write it off.

I'd go with Fight Club, personally.
